Abstract: The regime complex of the Paris Agreement set new parameters for climate governance of coupled human environment systems during the Anthropocene. Two significant and pressing challenges emerged from it: (i) how to make a diverse multitude of actors accountable for their activities and (ii) how to orchestrate effective climate governance. Accountable and effective climate governance will be: reliable (based upon principles of accepting rather than contesting emerging knowledge); transparent (open to the identification of different albeit complementary agendas); flexible (able to accommodate both the uneven effects of climate change and the specific requirements of different communities); and robust enough to withstand inevitable conflicts.
