Description
Climate Governance in the Developing World by David Held, Charles Roger and Eva-Maria Nag explores the experiences of twelve states from across Asia, the Americas and Africa as they advance pledges to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The authors map the evolution of climate policies in each country, examining the complex array of actors, interests, institutions and ideas that have shaped their approaches. This comprehensive analysis reveals the political, economic and environmental realities underlying the pledges made by developing states. By understanding these challenges and opportunities, readers can gain insight into the chances of success and failure for these ambitious targets.
