Dahdaleh Institute Faculty Member Idil Boran teamed up with a broad network of 26 leading experts to evaluate the Global Climate Action Agenda (GCAA) and discuss options to improve it to strengthen sub‐ & non‐state engagement in a new decade.

The transition from the pre‐2020 to a post‐2020 agenda provides a political opportunity to recalibrate the design of a catalytic multi-level governance framework. A more collaborative, comprehensive, evaluative and catalytic Action Agenda will exemplify a new avenue of cooperation between governments and sub‐ and non‐state actors and should help to accelerate implementation, raise #NDCs’ ambition and inform ambitious long-term strategies.

In this article, the authors encourage engagement at lower levels of governance through collaboration with regional & national processes in addition to strengthening linkages with sustainable development action can improve reflexivity and deliberativeness in climate governance.
