ABSTRACT

The landscape of climate change governance is shifting; global negotiations have produced modest successes, but have largely failed to trigger a rapid or ambitious transition towards low carbon development pathways. New actors and scales of governance are thus entering the fray: non-state actors, including the private sector (Burch et al. 2013), civil society, and transnational networks (Betsill and Bulkeley 2004) are increasingly influential, and experiments in climate governance are taking place at the urban scale (Bulkeley and Castan Broto 2013).
