Background: Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human health in the 21st century. This study aimed to explain the challenges of environmental governance in the context of climate change.
Material and Methods: The present study was conducted using a scoping review method according to the Arksey and O'Malley framework without applying time limits.
Results: This review showed that environmental governance in the face of climate change is confronted with multiple factors, which can be categorized into four main groups: institutional and policy challenges, economic and financial challenges, social challenges and climate justice, and scientific, technological, and knowledge-related challenges.
Conclusion: The challenges of climate change within the framework of environmental governance are complex and multifaceted. Addressing these issues requires strengthening governance at local, national, and international levels, enhancing inter-institutional cooperation, developing financial mechanisms, and incorporating climate justice into national and international policymaking. Furthermore, future research should focus on identifying and analyzing successful governance models.
