Abstract: | This article provides a first step towards a better theoretical and empirical knowledge of the emerging arena of transnational
climate governance. The need for such a re-conceptualization emerges from the increasing relevance of non-state and transnational
approaches towards climate change mitigation at a time when the intergovernmental negotiation process has to overcome substantial
stalemate and the international arena becomes increasingly fragmented. Based on a brief discussion of the increasing trend
towards transnationalization and functional segmentation of the global climate governance arena, we argue that a remapping
of climate governance is necessary and needs to take into account different spheres of authority beyond the public and international.
Hence, we provide a brief analysis of how the public/private divide has been conceptualized in Political Science and International
Relations. Subsequently, we analyse the emerging transnational climate governance arena. Analytically, we distinguish between
different manifestations of transnational climate governance on a continuum ranging from delegated and shared public–private
authority to fully non-state and private responses to the climate problem. We suggest that our remapping exercise presented
in this article can be a useful starting point for future research on the role and relevance of transnational approaches to
the global climate crisis.
