Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to the just-released new special issue of the Earth System Governance journal that advances a sectoral approach to analysing global climate governance. We argue that the analysis of international cooperation on climate change should reflect the diverse characteristics of different sectoral systems: international climate policy is not confronted with one cooperation problem but with a variety of sectorally differentiated challenges.
In addition to the conceptual introduction and a concluding article synthesising the findings, the SI contains analyses of global governance of the following sectors: fossil fuel extractives, power, energy-intensive industries, land transport, and international aviation and shipping. Each sectoral analysis investigates the potential and actual contribution of global governance to advancing decarbonization according to five governance functions: (1) guidance & signal, (2) rules & standards, (3) transparency & accountability, (4) means of implementation, and (5) knowledge & learning. A concluding commentary places the assessment offered in the SI in the broader context of a comprehensive framework for assessing the adequacy of the global response to meet the Paris Agreement’s long-term goals. I hope that you may find the SI and its individual articles useful and stimulating – the following link brings you to the full overview of the SI and the individual articles (all of which are available for free download): https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/earth-system-governance/vol/8/suppl/C Kind regards, Sebastian Jean Monnet Network on Governing the EU’s Climate and Energy Transition in Turbulent Times (GOVTRAN) – visit www.govtran.eu<http://www.govtran.eu>!
