Transnational Climate Change Governance

A team of the world's leading experts provide the first comprehensive account of the emergence, nature and consequences of transnational efforts to respond to climate change, with implications for wider global politics. Invaluable for researchers, students and policy makers in climate change, political science, international relations, geography, sociology and economics.

The world of climate politics is increasingly no longer confined to the activities of national governments and international negotiations. Critical to this transformation of the politics of climate change has been the emergence of new forms of transnational governance that cut across traditional state-based jurisdictions and operate across public and private divides. This book provides the first comprehensive, cutting-edge account of the world of transnational climate change governance. Co-authored by a team of the world's leading experts in the field and based on a survey of sixty case studies, the book traces the emergence, nature and consequences of this phenomenon, and assesses the implications for the field of global environmental politics. It will prove invaluable for researchers, graduate students and policy makers in climate change, political science, international relations, human geography, sociology and ecological economics.
