Call for Papers: IIM Bangalore and Geneva Graduate Institute host International Conference from 23 to 25 October 2024

IIM Bangalore and Geneva Graduate Institute will collaboratively host the international conference on ‘Local environmental democracy and green transitions: Mapping institutional mechanisms and political mobilizations’ on 23 to 25 October 2024, in Geneva.

As people and ecosystems confront escalating environmental challenges, there is a growing recognition of local stakeholders’ pivotal role in decision-making processes. The international conference seeks to explore how local institutional mechanisms and political mobilizations shape green transitions. It asks: What is the interplay between environmental democracy and the pursuit of green transitions efforts worldwide? Which constellations of actors can be observed and how do they map onto decentralized institutional environments?
