Abstract
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the Earth Summit in Rio, in 1992, noted that climate change is a global phenomenon that requires mitigation measures at all levels. Soon after, an intense and growing international debate over the future response to climate change has emerged. Countries like India and China have particularly high stakes because of the region’s high population, burgeoning economies and vulnerabilities to the impact of climate change. After Kyoto, there is a general consciousness about the climate change reality perceived (Reid and Huq 2007). Under the UNFCCC, every country is required to develop a climate response programme that integrates climate change activities into all relevant sectors, including energy, transport, industry, agriculture, forestry and waste management. UK has been at the forefront of climate security policy and international efforts to embark on greater responsibility to the climate challenge through multilateral organization.
