The majority of the world's largest carbon emitters are either
federations or have adopted systems of decentralised governance.
The realisation of the world's climate mitigation objectives
therefore depends in large part on whether and how governments
within federal systems can cooperate to reduce carbon emissions and
catalyse the emergence of low-carbon societies. This volume brings
together leading experts to explore whether federal or
decentralised systems help or hinder efforts to mitigate and adapt
to climate change. It reviews the opportunities and challenges
federalism offers for the development and implementation of climate
mitigation and adaption policies and identifies the conditions that
influence the outcomes of climate governance. Including in-depth
case studies of 14 different jurisdictions, this is an essential
resource for academics, policymakers and practitioners interested
in climate governance, and the best practices for enhancing climate
action. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge
Core.
