Abstract
Climate change is a global problem that requires international cooperation. Unfortunately, developed and developing countries are divided in their commitment to tackling the issue. These different national interests undermine efforts to establish an environmentally effective global regime. With the expiration of the Kyoto Protocol, there is space for MIKTA to facilitate a new agreement—one that will be “applicable to all parties”. By playing the crucial bridging role between developed and developing states, middle power countries can help create a collaborative agenda that focuses on different national circumstances to establish a more nation-driven approach to effectively mitigating the effects of climate change.
