Abstract
Faced with the threat of climate change, some countries have managed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while in other countries emissions keep growing. What explains this national variation? The 20-country comparative research project Comparing Climate Change Policy Networks looks at the role of interorganizational policy networks and media discourses in shaping national policy responses to climate change. This talk presents recent findings of the project from Finland, Sweden, India and the United States.
