Abstract: The subject of climate change has come to the forefront in recent years; it has come to represent one of the most important political priorities at a global level. This article illustrates the dimension of this problem, its causes, its impacts and the potential solutions which are being planned in order to confront the problem on a world scale. It will summarize existing information regarding the difficulties, the costs associated to the problem and the magnitude of effort required to confront the situation. The article will explain why the climate change can be considered as a mistake of the market, the importance of the public policies in order to correct the problem and its impact on international business. The last selection will take up the debate which in the international field refers to the united nation conferences and the protocol of Kioto and what is expected regarding future negotiations about post-Kioto.
