Session Submission Type: Refereed Roundtable (60 minute)
These papers analyze how environmental governance operates across scales, from local carbon policies to constitutional commitments and state-level political conflicts. They highlight the role of institutions, legal frameworks, and political strategies in shaping environmental outcomes. The session emphasizes how governance is not neutral but actively constructed through power, contestation, and policy design.
