IPR are legal rights governing, controlling the use and exercise of the conceptions of a human mind creations which are distinctive. IPR laws tends to be country-specific in nature and hence cumbersome when it comes down to secure the right. It is the exclusive right of the granted by the government for protection of original work of inventor. Population growth, pollution from industrialization, urbanisation, carbon dioxide from decaying trees, coal burning, ozone layer depletion, natural gases and fossil fuels lead to methane travelling into the Earth's atmosphere any transportation vehicles, water vapour, and many other small things all contribute to making global climate change even worse.

It is widely contested how intellectual property laws affect the spread of clean development technology. Industrialised countries, who highlight the advantages of these rights and believe that patents offer a powerful incentive for the creation of new technologies, are on one side of the argument.

On the other perspective, developing nations allege that patent laws prevent them from gaining access to innovations that might raise their quality of living and enable them to combat climate change. They stress that private sector organisations in developed nations are the primary owners of the majority of patents relating to clean development technology.

Economic development that benefits the environment instead of harming it is necessary for combating climate change. Innovative green technology solutions, such as those for alternative energy production, energy conservation, more environmentally friendly modes of transportation, agriculture, and forestry, can help by enabling us to accomplish more with less. The study explores from the perspective of law and economics an appropriate structure model of patent protection.

Introduction
IPRs and its laws are essentially state-mandated restrictions that govern, regulate the use of, exercise, and transfer of human conceptual frameworks. IPR regulations can vary from country to country, making it difficult to acquire the right. Laws governing intellectual property rights provide innovations, musical compositions, and literary works legal protection by giving creators exclusive rights to their works, as the objective of the law is to encourage creativity.

The ability to duplicate, distribute, issue or change the work is one of the rights given to the creator of the work. Laws pertaining to intellectual property rights, such as those governing patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets, might differ from one nation to the next.

Climate change may take many forms, including global warming, extreme cold, rain, wind, and anything else that deviates from the regular climatic conditions that sustain biodiversity. It is important to protect intellectual property, which is the end product of someone's labour and ideas. In order to solve the problems caused by climate change, humans must emphasise green technology more. Key component of the response to climate change is the creation and application of clean technology.

"In the context of long-term sustainability and attempts to eradicate poverty,"[1] countries must cut their greenhouse gas emissions; accomplishing this aim would need a significant change in global investment, production, and consumption patterns.

With the advent of so-called "clean development" technology, intended to cut emissions while preserving living standards, this change has already started in developed nations. Unfortunately, only a small number of developing nations have broadly adopted these technologies, despite the fact that they are crucial for establishing a sustainable, low-carbon growth route. These technologies include large-scale solar, wind, and other renewable energy systems.

Many developed countries have seen the emergence of new types of green technology and have recruited the help of intellectual property rights to safeguard this new technology. Green Technology is referred to as being covered by so-called "Green Patents." The latest technology is protected by a patent and offers several environmental benefits.

Literature Review
The significance of IPRs in safeguarding intellectual properties concerning climate change is multifaceted. "Climate Change, Technology Transfer, and Intellectual Property: A Practitioner's Guide" by John Barton, underscore the pivotal role of patents, copyrights, and trademarks in fostering innovation and incentivizing the development of climate-friendly technologies.

Patents, in particular, have been a focal point in the discourse. Studies from the Journal of World Intellectual Property by Carlos M. Correa[2] highlight how patents stimulate research and development in renewable energy technologies. Conversely, critics argue that the stringent enforcement of IPRs may impede technology diffusion, hindering the dissemination of sustainable solutions in developing countries[3].

However, challenges persist concerning the efficacy of IPRs in addressing climate change concerns and deliberated on the ethical dilemmas posed by exclusive rights and monopoly control over essential climate technologies, potentially impeding global access and affordability. The review unveils a nuanced landscape concerning the role of IPRs in protecting intellectual properties from climate change.

While IPRs stimulate innovation and technology development, they pose challenges related to accessibility, equity, and the safeguarding of traditional knowledge. The synthesis of diverse viewpoints underscores the necessity for a balanced approach that harnesses IPR incentives while ensuring equitable access and recognition of diverse knowledge systems. This review provides a foundation for further exploration and policy formulation in addressing these intricate issues at the intersection of IPRs and climate change.

Hypothesis
In the context of climate change in IP laws, they need to be re-examined in order to consider a solution which will both, avoid the current situation that overemphasises the inviolability of private rights in the global trading system and seek to address the shortcomings of the lack of legally binding agreements under the environment and climate regime. The innovation ecosystem's cornerstone is the intellectual property rights and a significant part of invention information is made available because to the patenting system.

Research for technological information are possible in a number of open patent databases throughout the globe which makes it possible for an innovation to be used legally in nations where a patent has been issued, unrestrictedly in nations where a patent has not been issued, and to be developed further to produce new patentable inventions so effective that the these patents can play a major role in controlling the climate change.

Research Methodology
The paper has followed the descriptive methodology with the doctrinal approach which is carried with the careful research on the way of analysis of various articles, journals and websites are also been referred to prepare this paper.

Research Questions

1. What are IPR laws?
2. Whether the adaptation to IP laws is the answer to strengthen the climate and its condition?
3. Whether the IP laws give provisions for improving the environment caused due to climate change?
4. Whether the Intellectual Properties can be protected from the climate change and what kind of protection is the answer?

Research Objective
The research is about the study of concept of climate change and whether the intellectual property rights are the answer for the changes caused due to enhancement in the environment and the advancements in the technologies. The aim of the research is to analyse whether adapting to the IP laws, the changes caused in the climate and environment can be the answer by looking into certain matters in order to identify the economic growth through this adaptation.

Scope Of The Study
Patent laws provide innovators exclusive rights to their innovations, protecting intellectual property rights. For a predetermined amount of time, they provide inventors the sole authority to create, exploit, and commercialise their innovations. As they give innovators a financial incentive to create new goods and services, patents are a crucial component of the innovation process. Additionally, they enable innovators to recover their research & development expenditures. Additionally, patents offer defence against rivals who may otherwise plagiarise and profit from the inventor's work.

Limitations Of The Study
The study only focuses on the effective enforcement of IP laws in identifying whether the provisions of these laws can combat the climate change and innovations. This study is limited to this extent.

Ip Laws And Climate Change
IP rights and climate change are intertwined. Climate change is having numerous unfavourable effects on people all around the planet. The growing field of green technology is crucial. Climate change is creating heavy rain, cyclones, and tsunamis in addition to melting glaciers. The flora, wildlife, and forests�home to numerous animal species-are all being impacted by these catastrophes.

In addition, people and businesses contaminate the environment in a number of ways, such as by releasing pollutants into the air and water over the legal limit, polluting the atmosphere and water during Indian festivities, and releasing greenhouse gases from air conditioners such methane, CO2, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons, which contribute to environmental pollution and climate change.

Utilizing latest technology to preserve and safeguard the environment is referred to as "green technology." For instance, waste water treatment may make water drinkable and free of contaminants that are dumped into seas and rivers, and eliminating industrial emissions can reduce air pollution, which in turn reduces the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which in turn causes global warming. Recycling solid waste management requires a commitment from both individuals and businesses.

India does have green technology, but it is utilised only in modest proportions and it is quite obsolete. Solar power, hydropower, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources are all available in India. Only a few locations in India, not the entire population, have access to this technology. The intellectual property system aims to publicise and disseminate the technology that might reduce climate impact.

Patent protection is typically scrutinised more closely than other IP rights, and is particularly significant in the development of climate solutions. Technologies, however, frequently draw a web of different IP protections and need a number of licence agreements in order to be effectively commercialised. The Green Patents can be extremely helpful in addressing these issues and resolving these environmental-related issues.

Green Patents
A green patent is one for an innovation that benefits the environment, is connected to renewable energy sources, energy conservation, or benefits the environment in some other way. For advancements in a range of industries, including waste management, energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and the avoidance of water contamination, green patents may be issued. Green patents can support and defend creative responses to environmental problems.

The application of green patents is encouraged and widespread in industrialised countries. They are making use of every aspect of it to strengthen the economy, solve their issues, and protect the environment. India has its unique environmental difficulties that may be addressed by using green patents as a vehicle for innovation.

Despite the fact that intellectual property rights do not directly solve the problem of greenhouse gas emissions, they may be utilised to support the protection of the intellectual property of individuals who create new technologies and procedures that may lower emissions. Intellectual property rights may ensure that innovators are paid for their efforts in creating new technologies and procedures that will help lessen the consequences of climate change by defending the rights of creators and inventors.

Although the patenting system has undoubtedly contributed significantly to the advancement of green technology, it has also benefitted some of society's worst criminals. The greenhouse effect has been considerably enhanced while simultaneously advancing civilization thanks to its ground-breaking technological advancements. The proliferation of energy technology, which began the industrial revolution, the development of agricultural machinery, which destroyed a significant section of our rainforests, and the introduction of new industrial pollutants, which harmed our environment, are examples of this. To lessen this harm, it must apply the same framework to develop the necessary green technology.

International Perspective Through Conventions
Issues lying in the intersection of Intellectual property rights and climate change are in concern. Internationally, there has long been awareness of potential conflicts between resolving environmental issues and intellectual property issues. From the Earth Summit, Agenda 21[4] asks for taking into account the function of patents and other intellectual property rights, their influence on developing country access to and transfer of ecologically sound technology, as well as taking into account just incentives for innovation.

The fact that a lot of practical technological information is in the public domain and not subjected to patents is acknowledged by Agenda 21. From the discussions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UFCCC)[5] to the conference on climate change and innovation held by the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) member countries have actively explored ways to connect the chain or rather harness the IP system to combat Climate Change and to reduce the accumulation of greenhouse gases.

In the meetings[6], it could be observed that the developed counties had interests in the enforcement of IP protection and laws and they were reluctant to the new international environmental obligations as this obligations would put the competitiveness, standard of living and other interests at stake.

But the complexity arouse when the IP laws in different countries had different objectives, with respect to this the developing countries were reluctant to the enforcement of IP laws through international conventions as the notion of climate change was more related to the international environment protection and sustainable development, moreover if IP laws are enforced, the opinion of developing countries was that the enforcement would put an adverse effect on the innovation and technology as it would create negative rights of IPR and thus the further innovations and creativity of that particular work would create restrictions[7].

Intellectual property enforcement in combatting the climate change involves a lack legal international instruments and other challenges involved in the international agreements negotiations, innovations in IP to protect the environment. Although the concept of Green Patents have been considered in many developed and developing countries, it cannot only be the single answer or the impactful solution to the climate change.

The green technology has given rise to spread the awareness of protecting the environment in certain ways which was a part of this conference meeting, but it must looked into the fact that the provisions of this law doesn�t provide the apt answer to the climate change as there are other major factors which plays an eminent role in the causes and effect of climate change which cannot be covered under this provisions.

The climate change is a part of evolution process of the environment and atmosphere, therefore there are other prominent legislature which gives answer to the climate change and can help effectively in controlling and improving the environment and climate for sustainable development.

ANALYSIS
The analysis of the text reveals several pertinent dimensions. Firstly, it underscores the potential of green patents in incentivizing environmental innovation while shedding light on their limitations in providing a comprehensive solution to climate change. It emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that considers other influential factors driving climate change beyond patent protection. Secondly, it elucidates the nuanced relationship between IP laws and climate change, highlighting the conflicting interests between developed and developing nations within international forums. It accentuates the necessity for a balanced approach that addresses both IP protection and sustainable development goals without stifling innovation.

The relationship between IPRs and environmental protection is elaborated, emphasizing the role of patents in compensating innovators and creators for developing technologies that mitigate climate change effects. However, a critical viewpoint emerges, highlighting the paradoxical nature of technological advancements that, while solving environmental issues, have also exacerbated climate problems. This paradox calls for a paradigm shift in utilizing the existing patent framework to develop necessary green technology, balancing innovation with environmental protection.

The paper initially portrays the detrimental effects of climate change on ecosystems, emphasizing the urgent need for technological interventions through green technology. It underscores the role of green patents as a potential solution to environmental challenges. Green patents, pertaining to innovations benefiting the environment or renewable energy sources, are highlighted as instruments to incentivize and protect inventive solutions.

The discussion[8] introduces the dichotomy between industrialized nations and India concerning the utilization and encouragement of green patents. While industrialized nations leverage green patents to boost their economies and protect the environment, the text indicates India's limited adoption and outdated use of such technologies, showcasing disparities in technology access and implementation across nations.

Moving to the international perspective, the paper discusses the intersection of IPRs and climate change within international conventions. It references Agenda 21 and UNFCCC discussions, indicating an awareness of the complexities between patents, technology transfer, and environmental conservation. It sheds light on the divergence between developed and developing countries' interests, where developed nations prioritize IP protection, while developing countries emphasize sustainable development and innovation freedom.

Moreover, it hints at the limitations of solely relying on the IP framework to combat climate change, emphasizing the need for complementary legislative measures and global cooperation while green patents offer promise in stimulating eco-friendly innovations, the complexities surrounding their implementation and effectiveness necessitate a comprehensive approach involving multi-dimensional strategies beyond IP protection to effectively combat climate change and promote sustainable development.

Therefore in answering to the research questions, intellectual properties can be protected from any climate change and other environmental measures through constant dynamic discussions from national to international level by various body of authorities such as WIPO, UNFCCC etc,. The focus must be made on both providing protection to the Intellectual Properties as well safeguarding the environmental pattern from any sort of damage and its adverse effects on various other factors.

Conclusion
Intellectual property laws are not the complete answer to climate change. Climate change is a complex environmental issue that requires a multi-faceted approach that includes reducing emissions, increasing energy efficiency, and promoting renewable energy sources. Intellectual property laws can help protect and incentivize the development of new technologies to mitigate the effects of climate change, but they are not a comprehensive solution to the problem.

It is a complex issue as the climate change has different aspects attached to it and the IP laws can just provide partial answer to it as the issue involves various factors which cannot be covered under scope of the IP laws. To address the causes and effects of climate change, governments and organizations around the world are working together to reduce emissions, promote renewable energy, and invest in climate adaptation strategies.

One strategy among this are issuance of green patents which not only focuses on the distinctiveness of the creator but also makes sure that the invention so made doesn�t harm the society and environment in any way.
