  The Paris Climate Agreement of 2015 allows countries to set their own emissions reduction targets in
\nthe form of \u201cNationally Determined Contributions\u201d (NDCs) and is formally non-punitive, meaning that
\ncountries do not face any sanctions for non-compliance. The approach adopted in the Paris Agreement
\nis often described as one acknowledging the primacy of domestic politics (Falkner 2016). This puts a
\nspecial focus on the question of how characteristics of domestic political institutions shape the
\nambition and credibility of NDC pledges. Of major interest in this context is the effect of democracy,
\nwhich is the topic of this Master thesis. The idea is to empirically investigate this question using two
\nsources of data: (1) a unique dataset of views by climate policy experts (Victor et al. 2022) and (2)
\nratings on a range of climate policy performance indicators published by \u201cClimate Action Tracker\u201d
\n(Boehm et al. 2022) and \u201cGermanwatch\u201d (Burck et al. 2022). To answer the research question using
\nthese data sets, it will be necessary to first add additional data from other sources (e.g., democracy
\nindices) and then perform descriptive and econometric analyses. The basis for the empirical analysis
\nshould be a careful literature analysis that reviews both theoretical and empirical literature on the
\ninterplay between democracy and how a country performs with respect to environmental and climate

the work should be delivered gradually to have time to discuss it with the supervisor. starting with the empirical part wich consists on 2 set of data to analyse , all data are collected . should be anlysed through R programm and interpreted and discussed.<\/p>\n

The structure of the thesis will be as
