Description
Summary:As the UN climate change negotiations continue their bumpy ride towards a global deal, a question inevitably arises: If we get an agreement, who is actually going to implement it on the ground in developing countries, and why would they bother? In a new report from the collaborative Climate Change and Rural Institutions research programme, this issue is examined and discussed in the context of emerging lessons from national and local climate and disaster governance in Nepal, Uganda, Viet Nam and Zambia. The report examines the incentives and disincentives in prevailing governance systems for addressing climate change adaptation related global measures such as the Hyogo Framework on disaster risk governance and resilience.
