Abstract

Climate change has become a global issue that has been hotly discussed in the last 20 years. In general, climate change occurs due to an increase in the earth's temperature caused by an increase in the concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the earth's atmosphere. This is what encourages the international community to form international policies related to the commitment of countries to reduce GHG concentrations with the formation of the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which will build a common framework to tackle climate change. This study aims to determine the strategies and steps taken by several countries in reducing GHG concentrations. This study uses normative method with a statutory approach and a comparative approach. The results in this study indicate that the target for reducing GHG concentrations is different for each country, which is greatly influenced by the national interests of each country.
