Abstract: This study examines the intersection between international politics and sustainability. It focuses on how the US—China rivalry influences global climate governance. This rivalry can unexpectedly drive new normative development and regime-building through collaborations across various levels and stakeholders. This study describes this competing dynamic and explains its underlying mechanism. Moreover, this study contributes significantly to the empirical understanding on the development of climate change norms by focusing on regions wherein climate change and political tensions are pronounced. This study focuses on empirical cases in the broader Asian region, specifically the South China Sea, Oceania, and Taiwan. By incorporating alliance dynamics, this empirical investigation provides a nuanced perspective into geopolitical complexities and global issues in these areas.
