Book Description
Earth's climate is in crisis. Climate governance has failed. This book diagnoses climate governance as if it were a sick patient, uncovering the fundamental factors causing the worsening climate crisis. It distils decades of global climate negotiations to reveal the features of international relations that are impeding climate action, and it identifies political obstacles to climate governance across a variety of countries in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. The psychosocial aspects of climate change are explored to show how human nature, overconsumption, and global capitalism conspire to stymy climate action. Remedies are suggested for how to overcome hurdles to effective climate governance internationally and nationally, with ideas provided for individuals to help them align their own interests with those of the global environment. Covering all of the major recent events in climate politics and governance, this is an accessible book for concerned readers who want to understand the climate crisis.

Book Description
With a long history and deep connection to the Earth’s resources, indigenous peoples have an intimate understanding and ability to observe the impacts linked to climate change. Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.

Book Description
"Designed for undergraduate courses in "climate change" politics within environmental studies, politics, and international relations curricula, for which there presently is no basic textbook. The text will integrate science and policy within each chapter by considering technical issues but also their political implications. Moving beyond the "Does climate change exist?" question this text seeks to present the questions students need to address in an interdisciplinary approach seldom used in textbooks. Specialized texts are currently available to explain the scientific scope of the problem, the natural resource economics and the international diplomacy or public administration dimensions. But none explains all of these. This text will address these broad approaches, as well as considering the broad philosophical and ethical debates behind the specific issues raised. The premise of the book is that while the science of the problem is well understood, with several chapters devoted to solutions, climate change is also increasingly a political problem. The text will address "the collective action problem" early in the text, discuss the strength of the scientific evidence, the failure to come to terms with related social and political problems, and discuss the scope of the problem and will address why so little has been done. The text will also consider the clash between theories of collective action and interest group theories, and the increasingly prevalent view of climate change as a security threat affecting some groups and countries more than others. The second part of the book discusses that there is no single magical solution, but there are many partial measure solutions which are already underway. We also discuss forms of solving the associated political problems but note that different solutions produce different "winners" and "losers." Changes to how we produce and consume energy will be driven by market forces and by steady efforts to inform the public. The best indications are that "sacrifice-based" solutions do still exist but that we all need to be informed and make choices that will lead us in that direction"--

Book Description
Climate change governance is in a state of enormous flux. New and more dynamic forms of governing are appearing around the international climate regime centred on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). They appear to be emerging spontaneously from the bottom up, producing a more dispersed pattern of governing, which Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom famously described as 'polycentric'. This book brings together contributions from some of the world's foremost experts to provide the first systematic test of the ability of polycentric thinking to explain and enhance societal attempts to govern climate change. It is ideal for researchers in public policy, international relations, environmental science, environmental management, politics, law and public administration. It will also be useful on advanced courses in climate policy and governance, and for practitioners seeking incisive summaries of developments in particular sub-areas and sectors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Book Description
This book explains the causal pathways, the mechanisms and the politics that define the quantity and quality of policy learning. A rich collection of case studies structured around a strong conceptual architecture, the volume comprises fresh, original, empirical evidence for a large number of countries, sectors and multi-level governance settings including the European Commission, the European Union, and individual countries across Europe, Australia, Canada and Brazil. The theoretically diverse chapters address both the presence of learning and its pathologies, deploying state-of-the-art methods, including process tracing, diffusion models, and fuzzy-set techniques.

Book Description
This comprehensive handbook provides a detailed and unique overview of current thinking about marine governance in the context of global environmental change. Many of the most profound impacts of global environmental change, and climate change in particular, will occur in the oceans. It is vital that we consider the role of marine governance in adapting to and mitigating these impacts. This comprehensive handbook provides a thorough review of current thinking about marine environmental governance, including law and policy, in the context of global environmental change. Initial chapters describe international law, regimes, and leadership in marine environmental governance, in the process considering how existing regimes for climate change and the oceans should and can be coordinated. This is followed by an exploration of the role of non-state actors, including scientists, nongovernmental organisations, and corporations. The next section includes a collection of chapters highlighting governance schemes in a variety of marine environments and regions, including coastlines, islands, coral reefs, the open ocean, and regional seas. Subsequent chapters examine emerging issues in marine governance, including plastic pollution, maritime transport, sustainable development, environmental justice, and human rights. Providing a definitive overview, the Routledge Handbook of Marine Governance and Global Environmental Change is suitable for advanced students in marine and environmental governance, environmental law and policy, and climate change, as well as practitioners, activists, stakeholders, and others concerned about the world’s oceans and seas.
