التقييم الاستراتيجي لأداء دول عالم الجنوب حيال مؤتمرات الأطراف: دراسة مقارنة بين العراق والإمارات

Climate change represents one of the most significant non-traditional challenges facing the international community in the 21st century. Its impacts extend across individuals, states, and societies, manifesting globally through weakened food security, forced migration, global warming, and threats to international security.

As international awareness of these repercussions has grown, the Conferences of the Parties (COP) have emerged as the primary framework for international climate change strategies. This research evaluates the strategies of Global South nations toward climate change within the context of these conferences. Despite sharing the status of developing nations with emerging economies, these states differ in their engagement with climate change and the outcomes of COP meetings. For instance, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates are both rentier states whose economies were fundamentally established on the oil sector. However, they have adopted divergent strategies in addressing climate change and vary in the degree to which they treat it as a "securitized" issue according to the theory of securitization.
