The Show Must Go On? Revisiting the Script of International Climate Cooperation Ten Years After Paris
This special issue reflects on the state and direction of global climate governance ten years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement. Informed by Michel Foucault’s political thought and the wider field of climate governmentality studies that his work has inspired, we trace the power/knowledge regimes, political rationalities, and many practical tools and techniques that make climate change thinkable and knowable as a political problem. In this…
Measure-ability
Transparency is at the center of the Paris climate regime and one of the key mechanisms by which it seeks to catalyze voluntary climate action. In this article, we analyze the micropolitics of transparency and the power that resides in the seemingly technical and mundane reporting provisions of the Paris Agreement. Informed by Michel Foucault’s decentered account of power and government, we trace the ways of thinking and reasoning that underpin t…
Inequality matters
Despite globally rising inequality levels, consideration of this core aspect of social sustainability is largely missing from climate policy assessments. This way, climate policy risks becoming a missed opportunity for reducing inequalities, instead causing unequally distributed effects. This study responds to calls for greater coherence between social dimensions of sustainable development and climate action. We chart the state of play for inequa…
Resolving climate action and inequality in tandem? A global review of states’ climate pledges to the Paris Agreement
Climate change and inequalities are intrinsically linked, both in terms of unequal responsibilities for causing emissions, and who bears the brunt of its effects. The impact of and consequences for inequalities also need to be considered when policy responses to climate change are designed, but such consideration is hitherto underdeveloped in both research and practice. In this article, the construction of interlinkages between climate action and…
Governing through the nationally determined contribution (NDC)
The Paris Agreement places states’ nationally determined contributions (NDCs) at the center of global climate politics. While previous research on the NDC has provided important suggestions for enhanced legitimacy and effectiveness of global climate governance, I examine the NDC not in terms of its content, but as an instrument for governing climate conduct in the post-Paris regime. By analyzing state submissions to post-Paris NDC negotiations, I…
The nationally determined contribution (NDC) as a governing instrument

Accelerating Climate Action
The 2015 Paris Agreement is often depicted as a turning point for global climate governance. Following years of diplomatic gridlock, it laid the foundations for a new global climate regime that invites states to partner with nonstate actors in the transition to the low-carbon society. This article critically examines the political rationalities that inform the pluralization of climate politics after Paris and the turn toward cooperative modes of …
Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime
The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. Since climate change entered the international political agenda in the 1980s, efforts to construct an effective global response have been organized under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Recently, this UN-led interstate diplomacy has been criticized for its inability …
A discursive cartography of nationally determined contributions to the Paris climate agreement
The 2015 Paris Agreement was adopted in a geopolitical context that is very different from the post-Cold War era when the Climate Convention was negotiated. This new global climate deal responds to a more fragmented and multipolar world signified by the rise of major economies in the South. This paper examines the geopolitical landscape in which the Paris Agreement is enacted and implemented. We conduct a discursive analysis of the Nationally Det…
