Beyond the Status Quo: Towards Transformative Climate Transparency in Least Developed Countries

    Project: NWO project

    Project Details

    Description

    The TRANSGOV project, through its empirical research, questions the widely held claim that transparency (in the form of reporting and review) is a universal driver of climate action. Rather than a neutral means of implementation, recent findings from the TRANSGOV project show that international reporting rules have largely privileged the climate priorities of developed countries. This impact project will bring these findings to the policy and societal context of Least Developed Countries with their unique set of domestic priorities, in order to challenge the status quo of current transparency systems.

    Description

    Transparantie wordt vaak beschouwd als de sleutel tot ambitieuzer internationaal klimaatbeleid. Recent onderzoek van het TRANSGOV-project vertelt echter een ander verhaal: de regels voor internationale klimaattransparantie behartigen vooral de belangen van ontwikkelde landen. Dergelijke inzichten zijn bijzonder relevant voor de minst ontwikkelde landen, die unieke en urgente binnenlandse klimaatprioriteiten hebben. Dit project verkent, in samenwerking met de minst ontwikkelde landen, manieren om de status quo van klimaattransparantiesystemen ter discussie te stellen.
