Climate Change: The Ultimate Tragedy of the Commons? Jouni Paavola

In this paper, Jouni Paavola investigates the potential of institutional diversity and polycentric governance to deal effectively with climate change. Starting with the recognition that top-down governance solutions are a “false panacea,” Paavola observes that although climate change is, indeed, a global commons problem, that does not necessarily mean global governance is the most effective or efficient way of dealing with it.

Climate change: the ultimate ‘tragedy of the commons’?

This paper examines the rationale and potential of institutional diversity and polycentric governance in the area of climate change. The paper argues that polycentric governance of climate change is already a reality, and that voluntary, bottom-up solutions can be comparable in terms of significance and performance with major emitting states.

Climate Change Is Victim Of 'Tragedy Of The Commons'
