Five disclaimers here.
First, this is inevitably incomplete – the academic study of climate governance is necessarily enormous and expanding rapidly. If I haven’t listed some important/useful work, let me know! Non-appearance here should NOT be taken as a snub. Far more likely it’s evidence of my ignorance or inefficiency.
Second, this list contains articles that go beyond “climate governance” to look at other (in my opinion related!) topics. But there is a signal-noise issue for anyone looking narrowly at climate)
Third, presence here is not an endorsement. There may be articles here (and see disclaimer three) that have dodgy empirics but good analysis, or – more likely – good empirics but ‘meh’ analysis. There will be some though, that are bloody fantastic.
Fourth, I haven’t read every word of every article here. I will flag when I have read an article, linking to a blog or whatever.
Fifth, I may abandon having this here as a webpage and switch to some other citation management format (I probably should). If I do, I will let you know…
