Abstract: Since climate change has gained popularity for the public around the world as well as significant debates amongst scholars due to its impact on political and socio-economic aspects. The international community has then noticeably put much effort in tackling with the issue however, it does not seem to be successful. This includes the negligence of states on one of the most sustainable and efficient ways in dealing with climate change ; the development of green energy technology. Although, there are certain areas of cooperation amongst states but it is inadequate. According realism in which the research has adopted as the theoretical framework since it provides a more relative and applicable in explaining the development of green energy technology, particularly focusing on China and India as the case studies. The research refers to John Mearshiemer’s arguments and concepts which suggest that the hegemonic power like the United States plays much important role in this development as it tends to create obstacles e.g. Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and, trade disputes through World Trade Organization (WTO), to block the new emergence powers from achieving their goals, presumably, expanding more economic power. His concept of ‘latent power’ also clearly explained the intention of China and India in developing green energy technology. In other words, their intentions are the mixture of the concern on climate change issue as well as the willingness to expand their own economic powers. As a result, the research is optimistic in a way that these conflicts will somehow reflects in certain progress of resolving climate change issue as states are determined in power competition which encourages more advanced innovation and so on
