Okoljska diplomacija – odgovor na globalne okoljske izzive 21. stoletja?
Environmental diplomacy – An answer to the global environmental challenges of the 21st century?

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the concept of environmental (and climate) diplomacy. The author firstly defines the concept, then outlines its historical development and key features with the help of a case study of the climate conference in Copenhagen in 2009. The final part rounds up the article and finds the concept of environmental (and climate) diplomacy to be a distinct form of multilateral diplomacy – in the course of finding a consensus on global environmental questions important dimensions represent conference diplomacy along with summit diplomacy, with the latter gaining weight in the final parts of conferences. Environmental diplomacy has helped the international community to solve some grave environmental problems in the past. Nevertheless, the quest for a solution to global climate change issues after Copenhagen in 2009 and Cancun in 2010 goes on.
