Effective governance of natural resources demands evidence for decision making at local, national and international levels. To build solid evidence, continued efforts is much needed for scholars and policymakers to evaluate the policy outcomes as well as understand the practices of policy implementation and program management. This proposed panel brings together papers in both policy analysis and policy implementation that provide evidence on environmental policy at various levels and generate implications to local stakeholders such as firms, workers and disadvantaged residents. These papers seek to answer questions such as: what are the local impacts of policies made at different levels? What shapes policy implementation at local and regional levels? What roles can local organizations play to promote sustainable development? By addressing these questions in the context of governing climate change, environmental pollution, and scarce natural resources, this panel contributes to the knowledge on environmental policy research as well as provides practical implications to policymakers and stakeholders.
