Purpose: The general objective of this study was to examine sustainable leadership models for climate governance.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. The study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Findings: Preliminary empirical review revealed that that sustainable leadership was essential for effective climate governance, requiring adaptive, inclusive, and long-term strategies. Leadership gaps, especially in resource-limited regions, hindered global progress, highlighting the need for collaborative and resilient leadership models.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Transformational Leadership theory, Institutional theory and Stewardship theory may be used to anchor future studies on climate governance. The study recommended enhancing leadership theories, investing in leadership development, and embedding sustainable leadership into policies. Strengthening leadership capacity was crucial for advancing theory, improving practice, and ensuring resilient climate governance worldwide.
