What explains cross-national variation in efforts to address climate change?

Meer over het boek

The essay explores the often-overlooked factor of countries' vulnerability to climate-related risks, such as floods and droughts, in the context of climate change efforts. It emphasizes how geographical location and economic development significantly influence this vulnerability. Low-income countries, particularly reliant on sensitive sectors like agriculture, are highlighted as facing the greatest risks. This analysis aims to shed light on the disparity in climate policy responses based on these vulnerabilities, contributing to the broader discussion in environmental politics.
