Abstract
The Paris Convention on Climate Change is a convention under
the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change that
deals with greenhouse gas emission reduction, coordination and
financing issues. The Convention shall enter into force from 2020.
The Paris Climate Convention is an international environmental
law with stronger social norms than other international law areas.
Furthermore, the national characteristics of the norm have been
doubled as a result of adopting the nationally determined
contribution as the most important mechanism. In this context,
this paper examines the issues of the Paris Climate Convention at
the international legal level. We examine the issue of enhancing
normative efficiency through international trials of the Paris
Convention and the International Court of Justice. Second, we
examine possible conflicts between the Paris Climate Convention
and the WTO law. This is to look at the bilateral issues between
the WTO and the Parisian climate treaty, which represents the
interests of developmentalists in the basic framework of the
confrontation between developmentalists and environmentalists. Of
course, when the two norms are in harmony, the normative
effectiveness of the Paris Climate Convention is increased. Third,
we briefly discuss the role of the domestic courts in raising the
Paris Climate Convention, human rights issues, and normative
effectiveness. In the end, the Paris Climate Convention enhances
the normative effectiveness and suggests ways for lawyers and key
actors to move forward.
