Elin Lerum Boasson and Michaël Tatham were guest editors on the Special Issue: "Climate Policy: From Complexity to Consensus" of the Journal of European Public Policy.
Most governments aim for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, but none know fully how to get there. The papers in this special issue examine the role of climate governance for climate action, addressing three research questions:
- what characterizes enduring climate governance,
- which factors drive climate governance developments, and
- how can these be sustained within the polity?
The special issue consists of the following articles:
- Climate policy: from complexity to consensus?
- The politics of domestic climate governance: making sense of complex participation patterns
- Re-examining policy stability in climate adaptation through a lock-in perspective
- The durability–flexibility dialectic: the evolution of decarbonisation policies in the European Union
- From emissions trading to the European Green Deal: the evolution of the climate policy mix and climate policy integration in the EU
- Public support for national vs. international climate change obligations
- Fueling opposition? Yellow vests, urban elites, and fuel taxation
- What drives engagement in the Clean Energy Ministerial? An assessment of domestic-level factors
