Abstract

Climate change and its consequences are one of the biggest concerns facing humanity. Although many people are climate-conscious and are working toward a sustainable future, the situation is ever-worsening. This is mainly because of the rich and powerful industrialists who seem to operate above any climate responsibility. Such industries are the biggest sources of carbon emissions, and they ignore climate concerns in favour of economic profits. Ordinary citizens are powerless in stopping the damages done to the environment by such organisations, therefore policymakers must enact and enforce policies that regulate and limit climate change. This paper examines the current climate situation with the help of Working Group I: Summary for Policymakers published by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and the role of policymakers in climate action through an analysis of the Netflix series Ragnarok.
