Global climate governance has presented problems that have led to
failures, yet it has also opened the door to new transregional
governance schemes, especially in North America. This book
introduces an environmental dimension into the concept of
governance. Almost fifteen years after the climate global
governance concept emerged, results worldwide have not been as
favorable as expected. This book details previous discussions about
the concept of global climate governance and its limits. It
highlights how the Kyoto Protocol has a limited design taking into
account a national approach to global, regional, and transnational
problems, had no obligatory mechanisms for implementation and
explains the emergence of new polluters not committed under it such
as China and India. Furthermore this book explores other levels of
authority such as regional institutions - the North American
agreement on trade (NAFTA) and on environment (NAAEC), as well as
the regional energy working group (NAEWG). The author puts forward
a theoretical proposal for re-territorialization and coordination
of policies for climate change into new forms of articulating
interests in what she terms transnational green economic regions
(TGERs) and tests this on two case studies - the Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Western Climate Initiative
(WCI). This study presents the challenges and opportunities of a
transregional approach in North America.
