Abstract (may include machine translation)

This chapter maps and assesses the global climate change institutions and policies that relate to energy. First, it introduces the links between climate change governance and energy and discusses some current trends in energy use and their implications for climate change policy. Subsequently, it introduces the global climate governance architecture, including international and transnational arenas and institutions, before analyzing each setting in more detail. It then discusses energy-related interlinkages between climate change and other issue areas, and suggests options for managing these interlinkages. The chapter concludes by providing an outlook on future research challenges in global climate governance.
