Concentration of Political Power and Adaptation to Climate Change in Developing Countries: Evidence Using the Quantile Regression Method

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of constitutional power concentration on adaptation to climate change in 113 countries observed between 1995 and 2023 using the quantile regression method. The results reveal that the concentration of constitutional power hinders countries' adaptation to climate change through inequalities ...
