Mountains beyond Mountains: the challenges for non-state actors to contribute to climate governance

This hybrid panel will explore issues surrounding the role of non-state actors in the fight against climate change. The movement from state-centred regulation towards transnational regulatory models that transcend national borders forces us to de-construct and re-construct our understandings of the role of the state versus those outside the state such as corporations and NGOs.
