Environmental Governance at different levels: from the sub-national to the regional

Abstract

The papers in this panel examine environmental governance at different levels from the sub-national to the regional, including the role of public environmental agencies, regional international organisations and bureaucratic politics. One paper examines forestry as part of the European Green Deal and the role of regional international organisations as forest policy makers respectively. Two further papers look at how bureaucratic politics affect environmental governance outcomes as well as how and why public environmental agencies differ. Another paper deals with the topic of how to tackle toxins and evaluates past processes in this context in order to draw conclusions for today's debates. Overall, this panel provides insights into various institutions at different political levels and shows what influence they have on environmental governance processes.
