Fragmentation

This book chapter, part of the Research Handbook on Climate Governance, examines the increasing institutional fragmentation of global climate governance and argues for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to transition from a high-regulatory role to one of a complexity 'manager' or 'orchestrator'.

• Global climate governance is experiencing increasing institutional fragmentation, characterized by a growing number of climate change initiatives operating independently of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
• The author argues that the UNFCCC can maintain a leading and coordinating role if it shifts its strategy away from high regulatory ambitions and instead focuses on acting as an 'orchestrator' or 'manager' of complexity within the institutional environment.
