The governance of climate change has traditionally been conceived as an issue international co-operation and considered through the lens regime analysis. Increasingly, scholars global have highlighted multiple parallel initiatives involving a range actors at different levels which this is being addressed. In paper, we argue that phenomenon warrants re-engagement with some conceptual cornerstones studies. We highlight challenges posed by increasing involvement non-nation-state (NNSAs) in...

Abstract In 2015, the United Nations agreed on 17 Sustainable Development Goals as central normative framework for sustainable development worldwide. The effectiveness of governing by such broad global goals, however, remains uncertain, and we lack comprehensive meta-studies that assess political impact goals across countries globally. We present here condensed evidence from an analysis over 3,000 scientific studies published between 2016 April 2021. Our findings suggests have had some...

Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals aim to improve access resources and services, reduce environmental degradation, eradicate poverty inequality. However, the magnitude of burden that would arise from meeting needs poorest is under debate—especially when compared much larger burdens rich. We show ‘Great Acceleration’ human impacts was characterized by a Inequality’ in using damaging environment. then operationalize ‘just access’ minimum energy, water, food infrastructure. achieving...

Ethiopia has recently committed to economic transformation and industrialisation through a low-carbon development trajectory. Existing literature highlights innovation as critical driver of industrialisation, the need for 'green' innovations improve resource productivity reduce pollution. However, empirical studies investigating nexus between green systems in developing countries are limited. Based on nine semi-structured interviews survey 117 firms, this article assesses sectoral Ethiopia's...

Decarbonising the transport sector in Global South presents an opportunity to contribute towards achieving net-zero by mid-century. Several studies have modelled different pathways decarbonise system, but consensus is unclear due heterogeneous nature of technologies, infrastructure, locations, and consumers. In this sense, study applies a systematic quantitative review investigate progression low carbon identified how can increasingly carbon-constrained world. The results show that while...
