Counting carbon or counting coal? Anchoring climate governance in fossil fuel-based accountability frameworks

Working paper by Fergus Green, Declan Kuch on 31 Aug 2021

Such transparency would provide opportunities for democratic oversight of climate governance efforts and channels to hold states accountable for their climate performance.
