ABSTRACT

What kinds of national climate institutions can solve the governance challenges that the Paris Agreement devolves to them? This article identifies three stages of climate institutions in Brazil, a major emitter of greenhouse gases through deforestation that managed to reduce such emissions for nearly a decade. It shows that a narrow definition of climate institutions that seeks purpose-built state institutions fails to capture important dynamics there, and that such institutions have little direct impact on outcomes. In Brazil’s political landscape, national presidents exercise a decisive influence on their climate ambitions and capacities. However, positive and negative feedback loops also brought some effective climate action from the layering of climate purposes into existing institutions, as well as through non-traditional institutions like private governance arrangements for agriculture.

巴西的气候机构:建设和拆除气候能力的三个十年

摘要

什么样的国家气候机构可以解决《巴黎协定》交给他们的治理挑战?本文确定了巴西气候机构的三个阶段,巴西是温室气体的主要排放国,通过砍伐森林设法减少了近十年的此类排放。它表明,寻求专门建立的国家机构的气候机构的狭义定义未能捕捉到那里的重要动态,而且此类机构对结果几乎没有直接影响。在巴西的政治格局中,各国总统对其气候雄心和能力具有决定性影响。然而,正负反馈循环也将一些有效的气候行动从气候目标的分层引入现有机构,
