ANNOUNCEMENTS
A new and dynamic form of climate governance has emerged transcending the barriers of state, non-state and intergovernmental negotiations, known as ‘Transnational Climate Governance’. Transnational Climate Governance is a form of governance structure where the actors therein try to fight the impacts of climate change by partnering with governments, international organizations, civil societies, sub-national and non-state entities that span across borders. This new form of governance is dissolving the archaic form of state and non-state boundaries and setting forward a new way of partnership and collaboration that is aloof to geographical boundaries. The concept of transnational climate governance has been well appreciated especially in the developing countries, but the expertise needed to study and do research about it is missing in such countries. In this paper, we examine the nature and characteristics of transnational climate governance in the Indian context. This shall be done by studying the transnational climate partnerships and arrangement in two sets of Non-State Actor Zone for Climate Action (NAZCA) initiatives and initiatives that aren’t registered under NAZCA. Thereafter, any difference that should exist in between the two shall also be studied and finally drivers or factors responsible for climate action in India shall be studied from the database.
Keywords: Transnational climate governance, NAZCA, partnership, collaboration, initiative, climate action.
