Prof. Aseem Prakash writes on how local governments are the ones who have to lead decarbonization and climate politics:
"Did Glasgow influence U.S. climate policy? It neither accelerated nor derailed Biden’s climate agenda. The reason is that climate politics is increasingly local. This is not to say that global climate conferences are a waste of time and resources. They shine the spotlight on climate issues and increase their salience."
