Abstract

Climate change has become one of the hottest global issues. As a worldwide public issue, climate change cannot be solved by a single nation. Only through international cooperation can it be resolved. This paper will take the cooperation between China and India, two emerging powers, as an example and discuss the cooperation between countries in the field of climate change through the case study method from the perspective of international cooperation in the Neoliberal institutionalism theory. Moreover, as two promising emerging powers, the research on China-India climate cooperation is of great significance to all developing countries and the entire international community. Neoliberal institutionalism theory emphasizes the importance of international cooperation and international institutions. In global climate governance, the shared interests of China and India, such as similar domestic conditions, have solidified into a basis for bilateral cooperation, and the international institutions are effective mechanisms to guarantee China-India cooperation. However, the climate cooperation between China and India is mainly confined to the signing of agreements, and there is still much room for further development of research and development cooperation in core technologies.
