Abstract

Nowadays the emerging problem of climate change, the deteriorating environmental conditions and the continuous attempts to ensure sustainable development pose serious challenges to the world's leading decisions makers. Taking into consideration the problems related to the excessive CO2 emission and the nature destructive processes, it could be stated that the protection of our plane is a global challenge and requires a global solution trough the strategic cooperation of national economies. After that the first international response to climate change was launched in 1992 with the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, a series of climate negotiations started to determine and to establish a long-term, sustainable objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. As the problem of climate change could be considered as one of the most serious open issues, in this paper we mainly examine how economic decision makers' define their strategic behavior during the climate negotiations. To describe the strategic interactions between decision makers, we use the well known non-cooperative game theory introduced by John Neumann. The main focus of this paper is to analyze environmental problems related to climate change and to describe decision situations with climate relevant bimatrix games and well known game theoretic solutions.
