A Multipolar World on an Endangered Planet: Reforming the Multilateral and Climate Order
- T20
November 13, 2024
Climate change, inequality, and the rise of China and the Global South are challenging the post-Bretton Woods global order. This context presents both opportunities and risks associated with the need to redesign this outdated system. Rather than a purely multipolar world where powers clash over existing norms, a "multi-order" world may emerge, with states advancing distinct rules and systems. This raises questions about whether new, cooperative orders can manage crises and how opposing powers can find common ground, especially on climate security.
As global temperature rise approaches 1.5 C, the question of climate change’s impacts on security are becoming more prominent. Even though the UN has integrated climate security into its peacekeeping efforts, the issue still divides the international community, including the Global South. The CEBRI-Quincy Institute T20 Brasil side-event will explore these global shifts and proposals from the Better Order Project and beyond, looking to the future of global governance.
