Innovations in climate policy: the politics of invention, diffusion, and evaluation

Andrew Jordan, Dave Huitema · 2014 · Environmental Politics

Summary. This paper argues that climate policy innovation at national and sub-national levels deserves greater scholarly attention. The authors propose a comprehensive framework for understanding policy innovation across three stages: invention of new policy elements, diffusion into wider use, and evaluation of effects. They identify analytical and methodological challenges in integrating these perspectives and present a framework applied throughout the volume to examine climate mitigation and adaptation policies.
