Abstract
This paper explores the need for an improved global climate change regime, utilizing the country of Croatia as a case study for illustrating how the implementation of climate change agreements is currently contingent on national assimilation of such policy. Through an in-depth analysis of Croatia in relation to the existing global climate change regime, it is underlined that climate agreements will repeatedly struggle to be effective without global participation as domestic participation is concurrently reduced without inclusive collaboration. In resolving this critical issue, focus is placed on the need for structural reforms, better incentives for global cooperation and raised awareness of common public good in an increasingly globalized world.
