The article inquires into the role of NGOs in multilateral diplomacy and the integration of political emotions in diplomacy and their use by NGOs for their climate action and human rights strategies. In conclusion, it is noted that political emotions can be strategically employed to support cooperation and complex problem-solving in diplomacy. Moreover, they serve as a tool that catalyzes cooperation, opinion currents and emotional mobilization.
