UNFCCC reform

[Naghmeh Nasiritousi]

Dear colleagues,

 

Multilateralism is under stress and so is climate governance. Some of you may have followed discussions about reforming the UNFCCC. We have explored UNFCCC reform options in two papers and a report which may be of interest to some of you or your students. Please find the publications below:

 

 

Nasiritousi, Naghmeh, Alexandra Buylova, Björn-Ola Linnér. 2025. Matching supply and demand? Exploring UNFCCC reform options, Earth System Governance, Volume 23, 100241.

We would like to thank members of this community who shared their time as interviewees or reviewers, much appreciated!

 

All the best,
