Abstract: International organizations can create powerful tools to solve a particular problem, which helps to increase their power, access, and authority through collaborative efforts, mutual agreements, and policy formation. This situation creates a favorable environment for formulating new regimes, where solutions can be contemplated. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a good example of international regime formation on climate change because, based on the outcomes of its first four assessment reports, it is creating global agreement on how climate change may hamper the life of the planet. The reports demonstrate that climate change is scientific fact, and that the alarming rate of change is anthropogenic (IPCC 2010).
