“…While some highly authoritative IOs occupy a focal position in their issue area, others have low levels of discretionary authority and often form part of highly fragmented regime complexes. For example, in both global finance and climate governance a plethora of formal and informal institutions differ widely in terms of mandate, membership, and scope (Coen et al, 2019; Levi‐Faur & Blumsack, 2019). Such arrangements are not necessarily without effect (Voeten, 2019) as IO performance often depends on the de facto and not de jure autonomy of IOs (Lall, 2017).…”

Do international organizations (IOs) actually help address global problems? This question is of major concern for global governance scholars and policy makers, yet few existing studies review issues of effectiveness across a range of different issue areas. This paper generates comparative insights on IO performance across seven policy domains, namely climate change, development, finance, investment, migration, security, and trade. Based on a detailed expert survey, we consider how key IOs in these issue areas perform across three different measures of effectiveness: constitutive effectiveness, compliance, and goal achievement. We also investigate causal claims on effectiveness, exploring how IO institutional design -and in particular measures of authority -influence their ability to shape policy outcomes. Taking stock of the distribution of authority across issue areas and policy functions, we ask whether highly formalized, deeply constraining institutional arrangements have a consistently stronger impact on state behaviour or whether less formalized institutions with fewer discretionary powers can also contribute to the effective implementation of internationally coordinated policies. Finally, we identify key cross-cutting challenges for global governance effectiveness, including political conflict and politicization, concerns related to legitimacy and representation, and growing problem complexity.

“…Regional climate planning can also help communities prepare strong and consistent policy proposals for presentations to upper levels of government. Through collaborative planning processes, communities have a potential to accelerate the implementation of effective climate policies to build essential low-carbon infrastructure and better adapt to localized climate change impacts (Coen et al, 2020;OECD, 2017).…”

“…For example, community-level greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are often linked to national and sub-national sectors, limiting municipal authority to reduce their own greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Jaccard et al, 1997;Robinson & Gore, 2005). This discrepancy suggests the potential for partnerships between communities to plan for climate change at a broader regional scale (Coen et al, 2020;Birkmann et al, 2010;Lubik et al, 2020).…”

Regional planning can help functionally-connected communities share expertise and the costs of climate action and amplify collective concerns and needs to upper-level governments. Understanding communities’ climate impacts, policies and barriers to action is foundational to the development of regional-scale climate planning. In support of a nascent climate strategy in the Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities region of British Columbia, our study employs a web-based survey of local government officials (n=106) to identify the existing climate impacts, policy priorities, barriers, and opportunities that guide climate policy-making in the region, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that nearly all communities have experienced climate-related impacts and have implemented a variety of climate policies. However, local governments face substantial barriers—including a lack of financial resources, authority and staffing capacity—to pursue climate action and planning.

“…The largest health impacts will be borne by populations at increased vulnerability due to poverty, limited resources for adaptation, and weak public health and social protection infrastructure. Global governance arrangements play a critical role in climate change mitigation, 2 although the health impacts of global mitigation efforts will affect local populations differently reflecting differences in population structures, underlying health status, and levels of environmental hazards (e.g. air pollution) among other factors.…”

Introduction The health impacts of global climate change mitigation will affect local populations differently. We aimed to quantify the local health impacts due to fine particles (PM 2.5 ) under the governance arrangements embedded in the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs1-5) under two greenhouse gas concentration scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 2.6 and 8.5) in local populations of Mozambique, India, and Spain. Methods We simulated the SSP-RCP scenarios using the Global Change Analysis Model, which was linked to the TM5-FASST model to estimate PM 2.5 levels. PM 2.5 levels were calibrated with local measurements. We used comparative risk assessment methods to estimate attributable premature deaths due to PM 2.5 linking local population and mortality data with PM 2.5 -mortality relationships from the literature. We incorporated population projections under the SSPs in sensitivity analysis. Results PM 2.5 attributable burdens in 2050 differed across SSP-RCP scenarios, and scenariosensitivity varied across populations. Future attributable mortality burden of PM 2.5 was highly sensitive to assumptions about how populations will change according to SSP. SSPs reflecting high challenges for adaptation (SSPs 3 and 4) consistently resulted in the highest PM 2.5 attributable burdens mid-century. Discussion Our analysis of local PM 2.5 attributable premature deaths under SSP-RCP scenarios in three local populations highlights the importance of both socioeconomic development and climate policy in reducing the health burden from air pollution. Sensitivity of future PM 2.5 mortality burden to SSPs was particularly evident in low-and midlle-income country settings due either to high air pollution levels or dynamic populations.
