本文擬從《聯合國氣候變化綱要公約》(UNFCCC)為基礎,評析2015年《巴黎協定》簽訂的背景、過程、結果以及面臨的挑戰。全文架構則從全球治理中五個基本概念來梳理及評析此一《巴黎協定》:一、剖析全球氣候變化影響呈現網絡結構的現象;二、從國家去疆界化及國家權力去中心化出現國家治理權力的轉型來觀察全球氣候治理的必要性;三、討論公部門外,跨國企業的私部門及第三部門的非政府組織都構成全球治理的權力來源;四、闡述政府、國際組織與公民社會形成合作的伙伴關係掌控跨國治理氣候機制所產生的「網絡效應」;以及五、分析以聯合國為推動全球治理的中心,結合私部門及第三部門發生「協同效應」的功能。全文首論人類遭遇全球氣候嚴峻的挑戰,這是全球治理無可迴避的課題;其次回顧國際建構有關氣候變化的相關公約及2015巴黎協定的歷史;依次探討並闡述全球治理氣候政策的基礎架構;聯合國氣候變化綱要公約的決策結構與締約方20次運作紀錄的檢討;最後討論全球治理架構下氣候變化導致各國在政策上以及在巴黎締約方會議上所作的努力。全文重心在分析2015年《巴黎協定》簽訂的經過與條約內容作剖析,並對《巴黎協定》簽訂成功兩個重要國家-美國與中國的基本態度進行分析。最後,本文評估《巴黎協定》面臨的執行問題與挑戰,以及美國川普總統宣布退出《巴黎協定》後可能造成的影響。
