Abstract

The climate change requires global climate protection measures, which means that developed countries should contribute to climate finance and capital export to increase the technological and funds. However, the implementation of such climate-friendly investments can sometimes lead to conflicts between the state's investment protection and climate change measures. Therefore, it is necessary to promote Investor-State arbitration that reasonably to reconcile the protection of the rights and interests between investors and host countries, which could contribute to the development of global climate protection and sustainable development.
