Abstract:
This thesis examines emerging commitments by local governments in Oregon to address climate change, and situates those efforts within climate policy development at the international, national, regional, and state governmental levels. It also reviews the literature for local climate initiatives and seeks to expand upon that knowledge by surveying “Climate Policymakers” in Oregon. The survey results provide insight into the challenges and opportunities associated with local government and state-level efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Oregon.

The threat of anthropogenic climate change is arguably the defining issue of the 21st Century. Climate change has devastating global implications to which various authorities worldwide have responded by declaring a climate crisis. Australia, however, has neglected to address this issue. The Liberal-National Coalition, which has almost exclusively held government since John Howard was elected Prime Minister in 1996, maintains its scepticism on anthropogenic climate change despite international scientific consensus. It established Australia as a climate laggard, a reputation which was suspended

With climate change escalating and Indonesia a highly vulnerable developing country to climate change and with policy development for climate change adaptation at an embryonic stage of formulation and implementation, there is an urgent need for Indonesia to enhance policy development to make it appropriate in scope and practice. A major gap in policy development is to determine the requirements for effective climate change adaptation policy development at the local level in Indonesia, especially with regard to vulnerable coastal communities.

This D.Phil. thesis is an international comparative study looking at the development and implementation stages of policies tasked to reduce emissions from transport.

Examining the relationships and interplay that exists between departments responsible for climate change and transport at the sub-national (state) level and those with their local and national counterparts, this research tries to unpick the organisational intri

Abstract:
This dissertation investigates the effects of natural disasters and political institutions on municipalities' climate change policies.

Additionally, the existing theoretical frameworks explaining local policy adoption and public service provision do not pay attention to the roles of extreme events in local governments' policy choices.

The Bush administration's decision to abandon the Kyoto Protocol can be explained by prospect theory. The change in federal climate policy between the Clinton and Bush administrations was due to the difference in domain that each president operated under. President Clinton operated under a domain of losses as he associated continued fossil fuel use with future socio-economic and environmental damages from climate change. This domain of losses increased President Clinton's risk tolerances and explains his pursuit of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement to limit greenhouse gas emission

A literatura sobre a atuação dos governos subnacionais nas relações internacionais, mais conhecida como Paradiplomacia, evidencia o caráter predominantemente cooperativo presente na relação entre governos centrais e subnacionais no que se refere a temas de política externa. No entanto, o que os estudos não costumam dedicar atenção é sobre a dimensão das tensões e conflitos incutidos nessa relação, já que, na prática, a coordenação entre ambas as esferas de governo não é tão automática quanto parece. Dessa maneira, num primeiro momento, o trabalho pretende chamar a atenção para uma esfera ainda

L'objectif de notre thèse vise à évaluer les résultats engrangés par les marchés du carbone. Afin de pouvoir explorer différents aspects des marchés du carbone à un niveau mondial et en raison de la diversité des instruments qui se cachent derrière ce vocable, nous avons choisi de réaliser une thèse par article. Sur base de nos analyses empiriques nous avons pu vérifier dans quelle mesure les avantages et les limites théoriques des marchés du carbone se sont réalisés en pratique. <p><p>Une hypothèse forte des marchés du carbone dotés d’un système de plafonnement est qu’ils permettraient de gar

Abstract:
This thesis explores climate policy integration (CPI) particularly looking at the structures and processes at the national policy scale and draws on insights from two developing countries, Pakistan and Malaysia. Climate policy integration is an emerging area of research in scholarly and policy literature that has been advanced as a mechanism for dealing with an integrated climate and development challenge. However, the literature is deficient in terms of coverage of developing countries, evidence of CPI at national scales, exploration of structures and processes and the conditions under which

Abstract:
Since the 11th Five Year Plan of 2006-2010 China has pursued a number of ambitious climate-related energy reforms. While a consensus is now emerging over the importance of these reforms, the motivations behind China's recent shift towards reducing carbon emissions and increasing energy efficiency remain unclear. To date most analyses of China's motivations for emissions reductions have primarily sought to analyse the costs and benefits of emissions reductions, the bureaucratic politics driving climate-related policy-making, and the incentives shaping China's engagement with international cli

The study deploys Allison and Zelikow’s triple model from their famous analysis of the Cuban Missile Crisis as lenses in unmasking the complexities associated with processes of foreign policy decision making, on climate decisions in South Africa.
