Looking forward: strategically advancing subnational government climate action

Chapter 18 in Decentralized Governance and Climate Change, 2025, pp 359-368 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The chapters in this volume cover a wide range of issues related to climate change and the proven and prospective roles of decentralized actors in intergovernmental systems to respond to its causes and effects. Many authors underscore that developing a comprehensive and synthetic analytical framework is challenged by locational differences in climate response priorities, diversity in the structure and degree of empowerment of intergovernmental systems, the interdependence of administrative, fiscal and governance aspects of climate action, and variations in appropriate forms and degrees of intergovernmental and nongovernmental collaboration, among others. This chapter offers some closing observations that provide an initial basis for more productively considering future efforts to build a synthetic and comprehensive analytical framework on the role of subnational governments in climate change response.
