Abstract
In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change performance. Results are less significant for the structural dimension but are also negative. Despite the negative relationship, the dimensions could still be important if considering their interrelation.
