You can now read SF’s most recent governance paper, ‘Financing the Triple Planetary Crisis of Chemicals and Waste, Biodiversity and Climate Change,’ by Craig Boljkovac, Hugo-Maria Schally, Stacy Azores, Felix Dodds, Chris Spence, and Idil Boran. The UN’s reform effort, UN80, offers the opportunity to improve and strengthen the UN’s environment pillar in the areas of climate change, biodiversity, and chemicals and waste.
In their recent report, UN80: Reform of the Multilateral Environmental Agreements, the authors assessed opportunities for reform, including clustering various treaties and strengthening the role of the UN Environment Programme. However, they recognise that successful reform is only achievable if we address issues of financing. This report, which is a companion to the earlier one, considers how finance mechanisms can support key treaties and conventions, and in particular, the multilateral funding mechanisms available to them for implementing their goals and objectives.
