Local climate governance in China: hybrid actors and market mechanisms

Based on the empirical analysis of the effectiveness of four provincial centres for the diffusion of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), a market mechanism for emission reductions, Miriam Schröder scrutinizes the strengths and weaknesses of hybrid actors' performance on the local Chinese carbon market.

She has published on these topics in a range of journals, including the 'Cambridge Review of International Affairs', 'Applied Energy' and the 'Journal of Environment and Development'.
