In the past few years, numerous authors have highlighted the
emergence of transnational climate initiatives, such as city
networks, private certification schemes, and business
self-regulation in the policy domain of climate change. While these
transnational governance arrangements can surely contribute to
solving the problem of climate change, their development by
different types of sub- and non-state actors does not imply a
weakening of the intergovernmental level. On the contrary, many
transnational climate initiatives use the international climate
regime as a point of reference and have adopted various rules and
procedures from international agreements. Rethinking Authority in
Global Climate Governance puts forward this argument and expands
upon it, using case studies which suggest that the effective
operation of transnational climate initiatives strongly relies on
the existence of an international regulatory framework created by
nation-states. Thus, this book emphasizes the centrality of the
intergovernmental process clustered around the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and underscores
that multilateral treaty-making continues to be more important than
many scholars and policy-makers suppose. This book will be of great
interest to students and scholars of global environmental politics,
climate change and sustainable development.
