Global Climate Governance – New Publication in the Cambridge Elements Series

We are excited about the publication of “Global Climate Governance”, authored by the GGI’s David Coen, Julia Kreienkamp, and Tom Pegram. The book, which forms part of the “Elements in Public and Nonprofit Administration” series at Cambridge University Press, takes stock of the current state of the global climate change regime, illuminating scope for policymaking and mobilizing collective action through networked governance at all scales, from the sub-national to the highest global level of political assembly. It provides an unusually comprehensive snapshot of policymaking within the regime created by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), bolstered by the 2015 Paris Agreement, as well as novel insight into how other formal and informal intergovernmental organizations relate to this regime, including a sophisticated EU policymaking and delivery apparatus, already dedicated to tackling climate change at the regional level. It further locates a highly diverse and numerous non-state actor constituency, from market actors to NGOs to city governors, all of whom have a crucial role to play.

“Global Climate Governance” is freely accessible online until 8 December 2020.
