The Transformation of Global Environmental Governance: Risks and Opportunities

This project adresses the current transformation of global environmental governance that can be described as:
a) increasing trans-nationalization, that is, the growing relevance of private and public actors beyond national governments;
b) increasing supra- and transgovernmentalisation; and
c) increasing fragmentation, that is, increasing segmentation of the policy process through additional layers of decision making and parallell systems of regulations.

The project is carried out by a network composed of a number of the leading scholars in Europe on global environmental governance. It is mainly to function as a base for discussion and dissemination.
