WRI created this topic guide on national climate change governance in response to a request from the UK government as part of the GSDRC Topic Guide series. It seeks to help guide Development office staff, their partners, and other stakeholders in addressing the governance constraints and opportunities to effective, equitable, and coherent climate policy development and implementation. It considers political economy, institutions, the role of civil society, the private sector and coalitions, in driving long-term commitment, overcoming vested interests, and enabling flexible and adaptive approaches required for uncertainty.
