“…What is more, geographic dependence may be found with respect to the policy instruments because governments of a same geographic area may share a similar socio-economic, political and environmental conditions, which could lead to the choice of similar instruments (Lenschow et al, 2005;Knill, 2005). Actually, in this work the choice of the kind of environmental policy instrument are similar in the same geographical area, whereas they differ from those of the other territories.…”

Regional governments represent an increasingly relevant component in climate change policies, which showcase a high interest in the climate change sphere and provide several benefits connected with their governance. This study aims to shed light on this scale of governance by describing the climate change policies of 61 regions from all over the world and by analysing the possible connections between the regional environmental policy instruments and the level of mitigation and adaptation commitment. The results show that the regional governments of this work appear to be an active component in climate policy, since they all have their own GHG emission reduction targets, devise their own climate policies and instruments and participate in international climate networks. All regions have reported mitigation and adaptation commitments, with different levels of ambition. In addition, it is observable that while some regions (mainly the North) focus mostly on mitigation targets, other (the South) focus on adaptation. Finally, there does not seem to be a connection between the level of climate commitment and the preference for some policy instruments.

“…Undeniably, sustainable development has local dimensions (e.g. Apostolopoulos and Liargovas, 2016;Liargovas and Apostolopoulos, 2016;Ferry and Eckersley 2016;Liargovas and Apostolopoulos, 2014a;Liargovas and Apostolopoulos, 2014b;Salvati and Zitti, 2008); and, as a consequence, universities have to be more actively involved as key stakeholders to address complex processes towards sustainable development (Apostolopoulos and Liargovas, 2018). This will help universities to attract the necessary funds and advance knowledge exchange with society.…”

“…The utilization of natural and energy resources, as well as decision making and policy formulation, should reflect local or regional characteristics. As underlined by Liargovas and Apostolopoulos (), a European transition through the Europe 2020 strategy towards sustainability, requires a more regional approach. Furthermore, Moreno Pires, Fidelis and Ramos () focused on setting up common measurement indicators for sustainable development at the local level, but up until now, this contribution has been largely ignored by the EU.…”

This article develops an innovative scheme, beyond the existing decision making system, towards a participative and deliberative approach to environmental policies in the European Union. It adopts a bottom‐up approach whereby environmental priorities reach the European level directly from the local networking process and engagement. Indeed, there is a gap in the literature regarding conceptual approaches based on decision making schemes that can unlock local forces towards environmental change. By using a multi‐criteria method, two scenarios (direct democratic and pre‐defined bottom‐up) of social‐network modeling are created. Both scenarios aim to promote the effective use of social networks through aggregation functions to combine the responses of local stakeholders. This paper contributes to the academic debate of the interaction between public engagement and environmental policies. It does not advocate that the debate in political level can be replaced by math‐based decision making schemes but the use of them can enrich political discussions.
