Abstract
En 中文
The climate (im)mobilities community is increasingly engaging with governance frameworks. This manifests in the literature in two ways. First, normatively motivated contributions engage with how climate (im)mobilities governance frameworks should be designed. Second, empirical research includes governance as a contributing factor to people’s mobility decisions. In this contribution we directly examine the notion of governance in relation to climate (im)mobilities and consider the concept of ‘climate mobilities governance’ as a subject of analysis in its own right. We argue that considerations of the complexity regarding the phenomena of climate (im)mobilities identified in the literature should be extended to the concept of governance and that doing so requires better integration of empirical and normative theorizing. We present a series of considerations for conceptualizing ‘climate (im)mobilities governance’ by extending insights from other domains of global governance, namely global environmental governance. We then clarify the relationship between normative and empirical insights with respect to these considerations and suggest a normative framework that can integrate empirical considerations when evaluating governance structures for climate (im)mobilities.
