International Climate Change Initiative (IKI) helps small island states such as the Maldives in reaching a climate-friendly economy and the use of renewable energies. Germany’s IKI is providing almost EUR 3 million in supporting the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) who is implementing the project. It’s aim here is to work with small island states who are reliant upon imported fossil fuels to meet their demand to foster and promote renewable energies and a sustainable supply of energy. The importation of fossil fuel are high in cost, so another important initiative, the Sustainable Energy for All (se4all) intends to double the share of renewables in the global energy mix to 36% by 2030. SIDs are already beginning to set new and ambitious targets to reach in order to expand renewable energies.
The Nansen initiative is an agenda for the protection of cross-border displaced people in the context of climate change related disasters. The Nansen Initiative addresses the environmental challenge of displaced people from climate change disasters by encouraging (sub-)regional cooperation. The Cancun Agreement (COP16) was a point in which states recognized adaptation challenges from climate change migration. Following the cancun agreement was the Nansen Conference on Climate Change and Displacement, here Norway and Switzerland pledged the need to confront climate change related displacements and the protection of those who are affected. The Nansen Initiative is a bottom-up approach with a multi-stakeholder involvement. Civil society and intergovernmental regional consultations took place. Liberal institutionalism argues that cooperation between states is necessary. It is crucial that countries, regulatory bodies and civil society participate and cooperate to address environmental challenges such as these to ensure the safety and protection of displaced people.

Conclusion
The extent to which environmental challenges can be addressed be addressed through national policies requires civil society, i.e protests and the work of NGOs to influence policy. Taking a look at how other countries use market-based instruments to address industrial pollution would be useful for China, specifically water trading systems and other command and control instruments. It is essential that regulatory bodies
