ABSTRACT
Evidently climate politics is also subject to societal change. There the protests against the official climate politics were radicalized even before the 'Arab Spring' and the Occupy movement. The agenda ofthe climate discourse was in terms ofcontent dearly expanded to questions about global justice, global community goods, that are worth being protected, and democratic participation. Thus the situation in the fie1d of civil society engaging in climate politics has become less dear as regards topic choosing and positioning. In this text I am going to deal with the causes and backgrounds of these developments and the new political geopolitics in the Global Climate Govemance" in more detail. The aim is to show that the relations between civil society and state-owned and international institutions have changed and thus the state and civil society are not divided spheres, but can analytically be defined more precisely only by their general and specific interactions.
