Description
Governing Sea Level Rise in a Polycentric System explores the complex institutional frameworks needed to address one of climate change’s most pressing challenges. Authors Vantaggiato and Lubell investigate how organizations at different governance levels—from local municipalities to international bodies—can work together to manage rising sea levels despite fragmented authority and competing interests.
The book provides critical insights into why coordination is difficult in polycentric systems, where multiple centers of power operate without a single overarching authority. Through case studies and theoretical analysis, it examines both private sector and public sector responses to sea level rise. The work offers practical guidance for policymakers, business leaders, and researchers seeking to understand and improve collaborative governance in climate adaptation.
