(2022) this event seeks to reflect on essential climate governance functions (narrative and direction-setting; strategy articulation; expert advice; horizontal coordination; vertical coordination; sectoral integration; subnational integration; stakeholder consultation and engagement; finance; and accountability and transparency) and instruments that can be used to enhance ambition and policy coherence, limit backsliding and foster public participation while ensuring a just transition away from fossil fuels and towards socially acceptable renewable deployment.
