Abstract

Globalization's inexorable interconnectedness has swept non-state actors onto the stage of global governance, weaving them into its intricate tapestry. Yet, the body of literature is fixated on their ability to sway the levers of state power. This focus overshadows not only their but also the potential contributions, nimbleness, diverse vantage points, and unburdened agility of armed non-state actors (ANSAs) who are known for their most egregious examples. With their sprawling and deftly governance capacities, ANSAs move beyond local issues and incrementally take actions on global policies. States, international organizations, and NGOs look further afield to grow their global clout in shaping, implementing, and accomplishing climate policy while climate change's incipient ascent has taken place. However, too little is still known about conflict areas and ANSAs. By shattering the illusion of ANSA as mere bystanders of environmental concerns, this study asserts that full-fledged environmental protection can be achieved with their engagement.
