“…The diverse market support mechanisms identified—investment, subsidies, taxation, and research—were considered vital to motivating the commercial sector to assist with the delivery of the energy transition. The significance of taxation supports the approach of Gaspar and Amaglobeli (2021), who argue that while taxation in climate change literature is too often placed as a government top‐down mechanism, it is more appropriately a way to view market governance in action, underpinned by hierarchy. Government may be the immediate benefactor, but the way the market is constructed, developed and implemented will determine the success of carbon‐based taxation (Geroe, 2019; Goulder, 2013).…”

While the world is still in the grasp of COVID‐19, countries are contemplating how to get their economies back on their feet. With a unique opportunity to do so in a sustainable manner, there is an urgent need to revisit the governance of climate change. Opportunities are clearly there: the resurgence in top‐down policies in the pandemic might spill‐over to climate governance; green economic stimuli might cause an increase in market‐based approaches; or an increased focus on solidarity, inclusion and collective buy‐in may drive more inclusive network‐based governance. Using the classic trichotomy of hierarchy, market and network governance, we have analysed the findings of 60 interviews with expert representatives from government, industry and third sector parties in the UK and the Netherlands. Their consideration of the key policies and measures needed to help the transition forward point towards a clear desire for a more hierarchical approach. In addition, mixing the three approaches, especially market and hierarchy, is considered the best way forward.
