Transnational municipal climate governance within the 27th PhD Workshop
on International Climate Policy, May 28-29, 2015 in Berlin. Please find
the Call for Papers attached. Submission deadline is February 28th.
Best,
Henner Busch and Lena Bendlin
Transnational municipal climate governance
In the absence of an effective international climate agreement,
alternative climate regimes have come to fore. Over the last two and a
half decades, several municipal networks have emerged in response to
climate change. Networks such as Climate Alliance, the Covenant of
Mayors or ICLEI’s Cities for Climate Protection Program bring together
local governments to tackle the challenges of climate change mitigation
collectively. As increasing attention is also paid to climate change
adaptation, several of the networks have integrated adaptation issues
into their portfolio or established complementary schemes such as Mayors
Adapt. These networks share a number of characteristics: They focus on
issues of climate change; membership is voluntary; they operate
transnationally and their members are mainly cities and municipalities.
While these transnational municipal climate networks have received some
attention from the scientific community, many aspects remain under
researched, in particular the actual impact of membership on local
climate governance. For this special session we invite contributions
from researchers who investigate questions of transnational municipal
climate governance with a particular focus on networks.
