Positing that disagreements between diverse actors have hindered effective climate change mitigation measures, our multidisciplinary study aims to propose ways to overcome division and fragmentation in climate change governance. Focusing on low-carbon hydrogen projects, we present ways of building effective and sustainable climate change governance through multi-stakeholder cooperation. In this study, experts from law, political science, economics, business administration, and chemical engineering collaborate in investigating climate change governance from the following five perspectives:
-
Climate Change and International Politics;
-
Climate Change and Trade;
-
Corporate Climate Responsibility and Civil Society;
-
Climate Change and Corporate Management;
-
Climate-change-related Technologies and CC(U)S.
We aim to propose a comprehensive institutional design that fosters inclusive cooperation between various stakeholders such as states, business, NGO‘s, citizens, and experts, focusing on low-carbon hydrogen projects. This design encompasses the issues of low-carbon hydrogen certification standards, trade and technology transfer rules, codes of conduct for countries and companies, models for shared value creation, and the international standardization of technology.
