Mitigating Global Emissions: Networks of Political Mobilization and International Cooperation

Monday, 11 July 2016: 09:00-10:30
Location: Hörsaal 41 (Main Building)
RC24 Environment and Society (host committee)

Language: English

This session welcomes papers analyzing on climate change policy. Despite the common urgency in reducing emissions to avert worsening climate change, societies have responded differently, their emissions trajectories over the past decade going either downwards, stabilizing or continuing rapidly upward. The emphasis of this session will be on two points. First, how are cross­societal differences appearing in the way major newspapers framed the issue of climate change. Second, how is the policy network in each countries to mobilize coalitions advocating different responses. These political mobilization processes brought about the policies that led to a society’s emission trajectories. We would like to focus on advocacy network mobilizations, policies and outcomes. We will discuss about a cross­case analysis of the structural factors conducive to different emissions trajectories, and a global analysis showing the causal effects on domestic politics and trajectories that are associated with differences in how individual cases link with international climate change actors and information sources.
