From Governance Experiments to Low-Carbon Transformations: The Political Institutionalization of Climate Change Mitigation in Emerging Economies

The DFG project " From Governance Experiments to Low-Carbon Transformations: The Political Institutionalization of Climate Change Mitigation in Emerging Economies " addresses the research question of which necessary and sufficient conditions lead to a continuation or political institutionalization of low carbon development measures in the emission-intensive sectors of energy and agriculture at the subnational level of emerging, democratic economies. Using a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) approach, we will examine and compare the above-mentioned sectors at the subnational level in Brazil, India, Indonesia and South Africa.
