Special issue on innovations in climate policy

ENVIRONMENTAL POLITICS, Vol 23, No 5: SPECIAL ISSUE: ‘Innovations in Climate Policy’ A special issue comprising ten new papers (four of them Gold ‘Open Access’) explore the governance of climate change from a fresh perspective
Governance gaps are arising from the struggle to seal the deal on a comprehensive new international agreement. But failure at the international level should not, the authors argue, be confused with a lack of innovation at national and sub-national levels. Policy innovation in these domains should, however, be analysed holistically, in terms of invention, diffusion and evaluation. The challenges that arise from doing so are systematically explored against studies of policy innovation dynamics in relation to feed in tariffs, emissions trading and adaptation partnerships etc.
