Democratizing Global Climate Governance

"Climate change presents a large, complex and seemingly intractable set of problems that are unprecedented in their scope and severity. Given that climate change is both generated and experienced internationally, effective global governance is imperativefor its resolution; yet, current modes of global governance have so far failed to provide effective responses.
