From Local Governments to Transnational Green-economic Regions in North America [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This chapter addresses an alternative approach to providing public global climate goods, by assuming that Local Governments (LGs) are the starting point for constructing a new concept of region. The chapter explores the individual strategies of North American LGs to address climate change. The chapter explores theoretically how a transnational approach can merge with regional governance to provide global public goods such as clean air in North America. The chapter proposes that the entities leading the reconfiguration of North American climate policy are the transnational green-economic regions (TGERs). The chapter premise quite simple: greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions are the product of energy resources used by economic activities. Thus regional institutional design is needed to give coherence to any climate policy. The chapter explains North America there are tight economic links among LGs, where regional experiences start to serve as a basis for integrating important parts of their economies and their energy climate policies.
