Climate change is a complex policy challenge that requires adequate actions and governance arrangements at the international, national, regional and local level. With its ambitious climate policies, the EU is frequently seen as an international leader in climate governance. Yet the EU can only live up to this leadership potential if it adopts ambitious climate measures and makes sure these are implemented in the multi-level polity. Given that the redistributive impact of climate policy measures becomes increasingly visible, realising climate change mitigation and adaptation goals does not only require adequate governance arrangements, but also social acceptance. Against this background, the panel invites papers that study the EU’s internal climate politics, broadly understood. We invite contributions describing and explaining the role of the various actors involved in EU and national climate policy, namely: policy-makers, political parties, bureaucracies, non-majoritarian institutions (agencies, central banks, courts, financial supervisors), business actors, environmental organisations, and social movements. We are particularly interested in papers that address a) the emergence of new climate-related issues such as security and finance, and b) the contested nature of climate policy, for instance by exploring the link between climate policy and populism.
