Title: Aligning subnational climate actions for the new post-Paris climate regime Authors: Angel Hsu, Amy Weinfurter, and Kaiyang Xu Year: 2017

In "Aligning subnational climate actions for the new post-Paris climate regime," Angel Hsu, Amy Weinfurter, and Kaiyang Xu (2017) analyze the role of subnational actors in implementing climate actions, particularly in the context of the Paris Agreement. The authors emphasize the importance of collaboration between various stakeholders, including governments, businesses, and civil society organizations, in driving climate action at the subnational level.

The paper highlights the significant role of philanthropists, foundations, and environmentally conscious businesses in supporting climate initiatives. These actors contribute financial resources, expertise, and influence, enabling subnational entities to develop and implement effective climate policies and projects.

Hsu, Weinfurter, and Xu's research underscores the importance of a multi-stakeholder approach in addressing climate change, with philanthropic and private sector support playing a crucial role in driving subnational climate action and contributing to the overall goals of the Paris Agreement.
