#ESGfindings on Climate Governance

Climate change has been a key issue area of Earth System Governance research from the very beginning, resulting in more than 100 directly climate governance relevant publications over the course of the last years. More than 40% of our Research Fellows are currently active in research primarily related to climate change governance.

To make the findings from this research by the Earth System Governance global community visible and easily accessible in the run-up to and during the UNFCCC COP21 in Paris, we will share key findings via our @ESG_Climate account on Twitter and on Facebook.

This page will be updated frequently with information related to climate governance and the UNFCCC COP21 from the Earth System Governance network.

The experts synthesise work on ‘orchestration’, ‘transnational governance networks’ and ‘partnerships’, and translate evidence emerging in social science into a practical policy approach.
