Climate change demands urgent action – but can democracies move fast enough? Drawing on China, the European Union, and the United States, Irana Abdullayeva challenges the assumption that either authoritarian or democratic governance alone can meet the climate crisis. She argues that the future of climate policy lies not in choosing between them, but in combining decisive leadership with democratic legitimacy. Readers gain a comparative framework for evaluating climate governance across political systems and its broader implications for public policy and global crisis management.
