Dear colleagues, I would be very grateful for references and suggestions for work across geographies on the role of civil society organisations in the area of climate mitigation policy.
By CSOs, we focus partiucalry on environmental organisations but also related organisations that prefer to self-describe as working on energy, development etc. that have direct implications for environmental outcomes. By climate mitigation policy, we mean this in the broad sense, policies that have consequences for climate mitigation outcomes, even if they are not directly motivated by climate change, and this can extend to things like advocating for and against wind power, hydro etc. for example. We aim to explore how important environmental NGOs are when it comes to influencing climate governance development (i.e. campaigning in support of introduction of CO2 taxation, removal of fossil fuels subsidies, support for or campaigns against wind-power development), performing such governance (i.e. through labeling schemes, involvement in public-private partnerships etc.) and implementation of such policies. . We are particular interested in the national scale (recognising a lot is also happening at the sub-national scale, but we are not focused on this for this exercise). In brief, we are looking for empirical regularities in how these groups function in their roles, and how this functioning is shaped by the various contexts within which they operate. Please do share papers, projects etc. We are particularly keen to get papers from the Global South. Review papers would be particularly useful. Please do share work you are involved in or know of and I will compile and share with the list. Many thanks, Navroz Dubash -- Dr. Navroz K.
