How do countries organize themselves internally to address climate change? To what extent can internal governance arrangements help create a more favorable national politics for climate action? While a lot of thinking has gone into mechanisms for global collaboration on climate change, national climate governance is under-studied. This talk argues that seemingly prosaic national and sub-national climate governance arrangements may be the missing link in accelerating transitions to low-carbon, climate resilient futures. Navroz Dubash, professor of public and international affairs, and the High Meadows Environmental Institute (HMEI), present “The Missing Link in Spurring Climate Action? A Spotlight on National Climate Institutions” in Guyot Hall, Room 10, and online via Zoom. Dubash is the final speaker in the spring 2025 HMEI Faculty Seminar Series. 

This seminar is free and open to the public. Lunch will be available in the Guyot Atrium at noon. All attendees can register here in advance to attend this event via Zoom livestream.
