Imagining Sustainability: Aspirations, Experimentation, and Collective Dimensions in Climate Governance

Abstract

This panel brings together approaches to climate governance with broader conceptualisations of sustainability. Bringing empirical evidence from different cases, it examines a variety of approaches in climate governance from goal setting and aspirations to national action plans, experimentation and cash transfer programs. This is followed by a broader discussion looking at the concept of the sustainability state and the lack of strong sustainability policies in the European transport sector.
