Abstract
We still have a long road to global sustainability before us, as nations struggle to implement sufficient measures on a large scale. Climate governance is undergoing a shift from a centralised approach towards a multi-level governance approach. This approach offers more flexibility to deal with a heterogeneous policy environment and implement policy that matches local preferences. The perception of regulatory costs with respect to raising public support is investigated in a multi-level governance setting. A qualitative research using semi-structured interviews is performed in a case study of the Regional Energy Strategy in Friesland, a multi-level climate governance arrangement currently in the making. From this research it is concluded that perceived costs of raising public support are high, leading to high uncertainty and retention of the status quo in the policymaking process.
