| Sumario: | This research seeks to investigate and assess the impact of subnational government actors on global climate governance. It departs from theoretical findings that such governance has become increasingly multifaceted and fragmented since the 1990s, with the subsequent inclusion and strengthening of subnational and non-state actors in its processes. This phenomenon is connected to the conformation of a neoliberal global order, in which environmental concerns are subordinated to dominant economic, commercial and political interests in international politics. In addition, it seeks to show that, regardless of how significant the participation of subnational governments in global climate governance is, they are also subject to limitations that their national counterparts find in trying to make this governance effective, especially due to systemic and long-standing dependence on the consumption of carbon and other greenhouse gases in industrialized economies, a phenomenon known as carbon lock-in. In order to deepen the knowledge about the participation of Brazilian subnational actors in climate governance and their interaction with carbon lock-in, we develop a case study of the state of São Paulo, whose international action in favor of combating climate change has stood out in the country, especially for the presentation of commitments and goals that are bolder than the national average. The study shows that, despite the fact that São Paulo’s bureaucracy is relatively advanced in its climate commitments and aligned with several international trends in this area, it is still not dealing directly with the root causes of carbon lock-in, especially due to the close relationship with the oil and gas industry, whose influence has only increased in the state since the discovery of pre-salt reserves in deep waters near the Brazilian coast |
