On the one hand, the scientific consensus regarding anthropogenic global warming is unequivocal, demanding urgent collective action. On the other hand, national interests and geopolitical rivalries often ＿＿（66）＿＿ meaningful international cooperation. Despite numerous treaties and climate summits, implementation remains fragmented and, at times, symbolic. Climate diplomacy is further complicated by historical inequities. Industrialized nations bear a disproportionate share of responsibility for emissions, yet developing countries are frequently more vulnerable to the consequences. This asymmetry has sparked contentious debates about who should ＿＿（67）＿＿ the burden of mitigation and adaptation costs.

It may ultimately fall to civil society and grassroots movements to articulate a clear and long-neglected moral imperative that has not yet been voiced in meaningful policy action.
