The Missing Link in Spurring Climate Action? A Spotlight on National Climate Institutions

 

Navroz Dubash, professor in the School of Public International Affairs and the High Meadow Environmental Institute, presented “The Missing Link in Spurring Climate Action? A Spotlight on National Climate Institutions.” Dubash was the final speaker in the spring 2025 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series.

How do countries organize themselves internally to address climate change? To what extent can internal governance arrangements help create a more favorable national politics for climate action? While a lot of thinking has gone into mechanisms for global collaboration on climate change, national climate governance is under-studied. This talk argued that seemingly prosaic national and sub-national climate governance arrangements may be the missing link in accelerating transitions to low-carbon, climate resilient futures.
