The anchoring policy perspective on policy change: Mechanisms, Applications and Analytical Challenges
Climate Change Policy
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity in the twenty‐first century and has become the subject of intensive political and policy attention. A range of debates and contributions made by geographical research to understanding and shaping climate change policy is examined. The examination begins with a discussion of debates on the definitions, geographical properties, and goals of mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damages…
The challenges of engaging island communities: Lessons on renewable energy from a review of 17 case studies
Islands have attracted growing attention as sites of renewable energy generation, both for generating commercial low-carbon energy and to improve local energy conditions. However, significant challenges exist in achieving fair distribution in the benefits and costs of developments located on or around islands and in engaging local communities on proposals for installations. A broad literature exists on the merits of different community engagement…
Climate Change Policy
This entry examines debates in geography and related disciplines on climate change policy. It begins by reviewing some of the main challenges facing climate policy, where attention is drawn to disputes over burden sharing between countries in the Global North and the Global South on action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the capacity of countries and communities to adapt to the effects of climate change. It then examines the charac…
Spatializing Climate Justice: Justice Claim Making and Carbon Pricing Controversies in Australia
Recent years have seen significant academic attention to conceptualizing climate justice and how its ideas might be mobilized in political debates on climate policy. This article contributes to these debates by advancing two arguments. The first concerns the need for greater examination of how climate justice coexists and competes with more established political and justice considerations during the negotiation of climate policies. I argue that d…
Renewable energy, neoliberal governance and the tragedy of the C ornish commons
In this commentary I explore new forms of government‐sponsored neoliberal environmental governance being pursued under the banner of the green economy to promote renewable energy in the UK . Drawing on analysis of the UK feed‐in tariff and controversies over single wind turbine developments in C ornwall, I highlight problematic features of combining centrally‐driven government agendas with market instruments for the safeguarding of procedural and…
Climate Change
The Green Economy: Functional Domains and Theoretical Directions of Enquiry
The green economy is a highly complex construct in terms of its attempts to integrate economic, environmental, and social concerns, the wide range of actors involved, its material outcomes, and the forms of governance needed to regulate processes of economic greening. As such, it poses new empirical and theoretical challenges for social science research on socioenvironmental futures. This paper has two main aims. The first is to survey the emerge…
Climate Clever: How Governments Can Tackle Climate Change
The fall (and rise) of carbon pricing in Australia: A Political Strategy Analysis of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme
In April 2010, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced the deferral of his flagship climate-change policy, the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, after it twice failed to gain the support of the Australian Senate. The decision contributed to the curtailment of Rudd's premiership and confirmed climate change as one of the most toxic issues in Australian politics. Although deficits in policy design and structural obstacles caused by Australia's carbon-…
Ecological Modernisation and the Governance of Carbon: A Critical Analysis
In this paper, we use insights derived from a critical evaluation of ecological modernisation theories to examine the origins and influence of new, market-based, forms of carbon governance. Focusing on two key examples—emissions trading in Europe and the global market in offsets—we argue that ecological modernisation theories can help us understand the processes through which the seemingly intractable problem of climate change has been reframed a…
Creating a climate for change: Communicating climate change and facilitating social change – By Susanne C Moser and Lisa Dilling
Copenhagen and the new political geographies of climate change
Geography and the Politics of Climate Policy
Despite widespread recognition that many of the severest obstacles to climate policy are political (in the form of resistance from political parties, business groups and electorates) rather than scientific, technological or economic and a growing literature on the spatial dimensions of climate governance, geographical research has yet systematically to address how geographical thinking can inform the development of political strategies to assist …
Scales and networks of neoliberal climate governance: The regulatory and territorial logics of European Union emissions trading
The growing influence of neoliberal approaches to environmental governance has significantly increased the involvement of industry non‐state actors in international and national climate governance. However, the implications of this neoliberalisation and hybridisation of climate governance, and particularly state–industry relations during these processes, remain under‐integrated with wider geographical debates on the scalar and network politics of…
Theorising Transitional Pathways in Response to Climate Change: Technocentrism, Ecocentrism, and the Carbon Economy
The carbon economy has emerged over the last decade as an important but controversial development in the harnessing of economics to address the challenge of climate change. In this paper we utilise the concepts of policy change and transition theorisations to analyse carbon commodification within the broader range of possible responses to the climate problem. We argue that the neoliberal, technocentric, and ecological modernisation values underpi…
Revolutions and second-best solutions: Education for Sustainable Development in Higher Education
Despite widespread policy support for education for sustainable development in higher education, and a strong academic literature arguing for a radical rethink of curriculum, pedagogy and institutional culture, progress towards the educational reforms advocated remains limited. Based on in‐depth interviews with lecturers at a case‐study university, this article explores reasons for the slow pace of change, in particular how constraining variables…

Market Environmentalism, New Environmental Policy Instruments, and Climate Policy in the United Kingdom and Germany
The search for effective and efficient climate policy has led to a major expansion in the use of market-based instruments and voluntary agreements (New Environmental Policy Instruments [NEPIs]) at national and international levels. Yet, despite the prevalence of these instruments as an outcropping of the broader shift toward neoliberal approaches to environmental policies, tremendous diversity exists in the way signatories to the Kyoto Protocol h…
Climate policy implementation: Geographical perspectives
Neoliberalism, climate governance and the scalar politics of EU emissions trading
The neoliberalisation of international climate policy through devices such as emissions trading has led to a significant restructuring of governance competencies between supranational, national and non‐state actors. This article explores the implications of this restructuring for the scalar politics of climate governance by examining the European Union emissions trading scheme, the world's largest multi‐state carbon‐trading scheme. Analysis shows…
National adaptation to European integration: Institutional Vetoes and Goodness-of-Fit
Despite extensive research examining the implications of European integration, the determinants of national adaptation to EU legislation remain poorly understood. There is particular debate as to whether successful adaptation is determined by the compatibility of national and European procedures and practices ('goodness-of-fit'), or domestic institutional veto points. When implementing the Packaging Waste Directive, Britain introduced new legisla…
Principles, policies and practice: Evaluating the environmental sustainability of Britain's packaging regulations
This paper examines recent developments in the UK packaging regulations, legislation transposing the European Union Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC). It explores the way in which the UK regulations have adopted market-based environmental policies, including the use of economic instruments. The environmental benefits gained from the market-based approach are assessed against the policy principles adopted within the EU environmental programme. …

Flexibility, Harmonization and the Single Market in EU Environmental Policy: The Packaging Waste Directive
This article explores problems surrounding the implementation of European Union (EU) environmental policy within Member States. It focuses on harmonization and flexibility within the implementation process, from both a free‐trade and an environmental perspective. The context is the Packaging Waste Directive, legislation requiring Member States to establish packaging waste recycling systems. The directive has encouraged Member States to employ eco…
