This Chapter provides insights into climate governance and the implications of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain in influencing corporate environmental outcomes. We first offer an overview of the traditional corporate governance mechanisms in the context of increasing environmental challenges worldwide. We next define climate governance and discuss various mechanisms and prior findings on their effectiveness. We finally review the roles of the two cutting-edge technologies (AI and Blockchain) in climate governance. Potential applications are also discussed in this chapter.
