{{main|Climate governance|Politics of global warming}}
Historically climate change has been approached at a multinational level where a unanimous consensus decision is reached at the [[United Nations]] (UN), under the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]] (UNFCCC).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://unfccc.int/process/the-convention/history-of-the-convention|title=History of the Convention {{!}} UNFCCC|website=unfccc.int|access-date=2019-12-02}}</ref> This represents the dominant approach historically of engaging as many international governments as possible in taking action in on a worldwide public issue. While there is a precedent that this model can work, as seen in the Montreal Protocol, there has been a shift away from this after it failed in the Kyoto Protocol and more recently is in jeopardy for the Paris Agreement.
