Here’s an excerpt with a list of links from this note by Sean Lyons about who is in charge globally of things that impact climate:
International Guardians
At an international level guardianship roles can extend across several different areas depending on the jurisdiction, authority, and responsibility of the bodies concerned. Therefore, the guardianship focus of certain international bodies may be far more wide-ranging than others. The following international body does however have a special role to play as a guardian of global safety, defense, and preservation:
[Under the UN system a number of entities have an important role to play, and examples include the following: UN Security Council, International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, World Health Organization (WHO), World Food Programme, and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an independent international organization and is not part of the UN system however it has a cooperation agreement with the UN.]
