Addressing Climate Change: NGOs, States, and People

Session Submission Type: Created Panel

Session Description

How do countries respond to climate change? How do domestic and international institutions shape resolution of climate change policy for some but not all? This panel considers the international political economy of environmental change from a number of different dimensions including national level institutions, non-state actors, trade agreements, and migration. The papers draw on empirical evidence from the U.S., Germany, and India, as well as NAFTA and OECD countries, to better understand the role that institutions play in helping or hindering successful climate change policies.
