  • The Changing Landscape of Climate Governance
    PENN: CURRENT RESEARCH ON SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT The Changing Landscape of Climate Governance The Role of Cities as Political Actors and Policy Implementers WILLIAM BURKE-WHITE Richard Perry Professor and Inaugural Director, Perry World House Professor of Law, Penn School of Law LAURA BARRON Program and Communications Manager, Penn Institute of Urban Research 2 Penn: Current Research on Sustainable Urban Development | The Changing Landscape of Climate Governance: Role of Cities as Political Actors and Policy Implementers FINDING THE POLITICAL WILL TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE: GLOBAL, NATIONAL, AND LOCAL PERSPECTIVES Addressing the impacts of climate change and limiting further impact is the most critical aspect of achieving global environmental sustainability, as laid out in the United Nation’s SDGs and New Urban Agenda. The experiences of the past decades, however, have demonstrated that stopping climate change is a challenge not only of effective implementation of mitigation and adaptation techniques, but also of finding the political will to undertake bold moves needed to deal with existing climate change and limit future global warming. Climate change, often described as a problem of the global commons, requires commitment and coordination across most, if not all, nation states. The bold moves needed today require significant political will to drive cooperation where problems are complex, time-horizons are long, interests poorly aligned, and institutions weak. Traditionally, climate politics has been focused at the international level of governance—through international institutions and international legal agreements among national governments that can work together to coordinate needed global responses (Bodansky 2001). International diplomatic meetings and agreements from Rio to Kyoto, Copenhagen to Paris, have been the locus of action for international political and legal commitments to address climate challenges.

  • The Bottom-Up Alternative: the Mitigation Potential of Private Climate Governance After the Paris Agreement
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLE\42-2\HLE205.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-JUL-18 10:11 THE BOTTOM-UP ALTERNATIVE: THE MITIGATION POTENTIAL OF PRIVATE CLIMATE GOVERNANCE AFTER THE PARIS AGREEMENT Maria L. Banda* ABSTRACT The 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change has sought to inject renewed energy into the international climate regime. As a “bottom-up” treaty, however, it allows States to set their own emissions targets. Even before the U.S. withdrawal, States Parties’ commitments fell far short of what is required to achieve the treaty’s objectives. The low level of State ambition, coupled with the lack of an international enforcement mechanism, means that pri- vate initiatives—including through courts, investor actions, and voluntary business commit- ments—will be critical, especially in the U.S., if the climate regime is to deliver on its goals. This Article seeks to contribute to both the theoretical and empirical literature on private climate governance and develop a richer understanding of bottom-up options for the imple- mentation of the Paris Agreement where State leadership is weak or lacking. First, it develops an analytical framework to evaluate the effectiveness, or the mitigation potential, of private climate governance. Second, it provides a critical assessment of three promising forms of pri- vate climate governance: (a) disclosure of company emissions and climate risks; (b) voluntary commitments to reduce emissions; and (c) carbon labeling. The Article shows empirically that these private initiatives face a number of constraints that make them unlikely to generate significant mitigation action in the near term without regulatory backing. However, other bottom-up options, such as climate litigation, can play an important role in closing the ambi- tion deficit by increasing government accountability and facilitating the de facto implementa- tion of the Paris Agreement in the U.S.

  • The Challenges of US Climate Governance
    01-0331-0 CH 1:Cohen-Easterly 7/1/10 11:59 AM Page 3 1 Introduction: The Challenges of U.S. Climate Governance barry g. rabe olicy analysts and policymakers continue to search for metaphors to describe Pthe unique complexities posed by climate change. According to economist William Nordhaus, “If global warming is the mother of all public goods, it may also be the father of decision making under uncertainty.”1 Other policy analysts have referred to climate change as “perhaps the most hotly debated and controver- sial area of environmental policy ever” and as “one of the most complex challenges that the human race has ever created.”2 In the final days of a federal government career that spanned five decades and included a leading role in many foreign and domestic policy challenges during thirty years in the U.S. Senate, Republican John Warner of Virginia put it more simply: “Without question, this is the most com- plex problem I have ever faced.”3 Most of those comments were uttered prior to the tumultuous climate policy events of 2009–10, which included prolonged political combat over dauntingly complex legislative proposals before Congress, fallout over revelations from hacked e-mails that raised questions about the integrity of some high-profile climate scientists, and the melodramatic albeit largely inconclusive Copenhagen climate summit. The discovery that accumulating levels of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in the atmosphere could cause a “greenhouse effect” that both elevated global temperatures and disrupted the climate is not new, though its saliency has grown markedly in recent years.

  • Directors Quarterly-Jan 2020
    Insights from the KPMG Board & DIRECTORS Governance Institute January QUARTERLY 2020 Foreword For many Boards, the new year and new decade got off to a rocky start as they face the impact of the Coronavirus, in addition to addressing challenges relating to geopolitical risks, climate change, economic uncertainty and business disruption. Refreshingly, the recently held World Economic Forum in Davos focused on ‘Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable world’. Boards should not feel alone as they navigate this uncertain world – as the ecosystem needed to create change is coming together. Governments, regulators, customers, employees and suppliers are demanding more from corporates in terms of long-term sustainability. For these reasons, we have curated this Directors’ Quarterly to focus on geopolitical risks, climate governance and key priorities for Boards and Audit Committees. 2 2020 Geopolitical We hope you find this helpful as you consider WHAT’S Risk Outlook your Board priorities for the year ahead. 3 Climate governance INSIDE 5 Board Priorities 2020 Audit Committee 6 Priorities 2020 Irving Low Lee Sze Yeng Head of Board & Head of Audit Governance Institute KPMG in Singapore KPMG in Singapore 1 DIRECTORS QUARTERLY-JAN 2020 Geopolitical Risk Outlook 2020 What should you watch out for in 2020? 2020 is a tipping point. Geopolitical risks have been intensifying for nearly a decade, but we have yet to experience a true international crisis. Global trends have been strongly favourable, but that’s now changing.

  • Strengthening Climate Governance
    COP25 Briefing, December 2019 STRENGTHENING CLIMATE GOVERNANCE THE SITUATION The most recent IPCC report calls for urgent and ambitious action to tackle the unprecedented impacts of the ongoing climate crisis. At the same time, corruption is a major barrier to the success of climate adaptation and mitigation measures. Despite worldwide mobilization on climate, the level of ambition is still insufficient. As Jane Goodall said: ‘the biggest evil that we have to overcome, to save the planet, is corruption’. The scale of the climate challenge is immense and the need to stimulate investments has never been greater. International funding for environmental protection and climate change adaptation and mitigation is set to reach over US$ 100 billion per year by 2020; much more is and will be spent through domestic budgets – around US$ 600 billion. Under the Paris Agreement, countries have committed to a Transparency Framework. But more needs to be done: we need to ensure that this money actually reaches the most vulnerable people and halts the march of climate change. Countries receiving climate financing desperately need and deserve it, so allowing these funds to go missing is not an option. A risky context The rates of corruption in climate vulnerable countries receiving climate finance is a serious cause for concern1. The climate funding landscape is complex and fragmentary, which complicates efforts to track financial flows (there is still no universally agreed upon definition of climate finance), and to ascertain who should be held accountable for decisions/results. An overarching challenge for climate governance is that its domain involves some of the most corrupt sectors, including construction, forestry and the energy sectors: The UN estimates that each year USD 20-40 billion - corresponding to 20-40% of official development assistance2 - is stolen through high-level corruption and hidden overseas.
