23 September 2024: UNDP Global Policy Centre for Governance hosted the launch in Norway of the "Connections that Matter: How the Quality of Governance Boosts Climate Action" report.
The joint report by UNDP GPCG and the German Institute for Development and Sustainability (IDOS), highlights the vital links between SDG 13 (climate action) and SDG 16 (peace, justice, inclusion).
The report explores how inclusive, effective and accountable governance systems can produce positive effects on climate action and how strengthening inclusive governance can enable transformational and equitable climate action. It finds that immediate policy and actions by governments, societies and the international community have the potential to benefit from these strong interlinkages to help ensure that people and countries are not left behind.
The Norwegian launch of the report featured a roundtable event on “Governance and Climate Action” with policymakers, expert researchers and civil society representatives. The discussion focused on the interlinkages between inclusive, effective and accountable governance and climate actions and sharing views on the governance challenges and opportunities for more ambitious climate action.
