The purpose of this conference is to examine these challenges and explore potential avenues for democratizing climate governance. ANU invites proposals that address issues of accountability, representation, participation, and legitimacy, as well as the appropriate roles of national and transnational institutions, civil society, scientists, scholars, communities, and citizens confronted with issue complexity. Climate governance manifests in various forms and at various levels, as such ANU invites papers concerned with public, private, and hybrid modes of governance at local, national, and/or global levels.Understanding and responding to the democratic challenges posed by climate change will require advances in theory as well as empirical research, and we welcome papers that fall into either or both of these categories. Papers that approach the challenge from a discursive or deliberative perspective are especially encouraged, however we welcome a range of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives.Conference DetailsThe Democratizing Climate Governance Conference is hosted by the ANU Centre for Deliberative Democracy & Global Governance, co-sponsored by the ANU Climate Change Institut, and is endorsed by Earth System GovernanceThe purpose of the conference is to examine the challenges that climate change poses considerable to democracy.
