Reinvigorating International Climate Policy: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective Nonstate Action

The document proposes a comprehensive framework to coordinate sub- and nonstate climate actions, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to ensure that 'bottom-up' governance delivers meaningful results during the 2015 United Nations climate conference negotiations.

• The author argues that a comprehensive framework is necessary to catalyze, support, and steer the emerging groundswell of climate actions from cities, regions, businesses, and civil society. Without this coordination, there is a risk that 'bottom-up' climate governance will fail to produce meaningful results.
• Based on social science research, the proposed framework for sub- and nonstate climate actions should be designed to promote accountability, ambition, and experimentation while preventing unnecessary overlaps.
