ABSTRACT
In a context of multilevel governance, multiple actions and decisions at various levels and scales are required to control GHG emissions and to promote climate stabilization and sustainable development. The number and complexity of the local, national, and transnational interactions, sectors, and networks involved places a premium on policy and behavioral coordination (Tanner and Horn-Phathanothai, 2014, p. 159; UNHSP, 2011, p. 115). The full benefits of jurisdictional coordination are realized when “governments at one level of the system are able to compensate for weaknesses and defects at another level” (Derthick, 2010, p. 59).
