    Governance, Vulnerability to Climate Change, and Green Growth: International Evidence

    Le, Thai-Ha; Chang, Youngho; Park, Donghyun | November 2016
    Abstract
    We examine the role of governance and vulnerability to climate change in green growth using a global panel data set of 122 countries in 2000‒2012. We find that, as expected, governance has a positive effect on environmental performance and vulnerability to climate change has a negative effect. This suggests that promoting good governance and reducing climate change vulnerability can contribute to a cleaner environment. We find qualitatively similar results for the subsample of high-income countries, but governance does not have a significant effect for the subsamples of upper-middle-income, lower-middle-income, and low-income countries. One possible interpretation is that high-income countries have environmental policies which are strong enough to protect the environment, whereas other countries have relatively weak environmental policies which need to be strengthened.

      National Climate Change Legal Frameworks in Asia and the Pacific: Climate Change, Coming Soon to A Court Near You—Report Three 

      Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2020-12-15)
      National legal and policy frameworks underpin international climate action because they are the backbone of domestic responses to the climate emergency. Unless they support global objectives, local climate action stalls. Concerned by sluggish national responses to climate change or injured by its impacts, citizens are filing lawsuits, making courts central to national climate governance. To adjudicate ...

      International Climate Change Legal Frameworks: Climate Change, Coming Soon to A Court Near You—Report Four 

      Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2020-12-15)
      In 2020, the Paris Agreement is the pinnacle of international law on climate change. It orchestrates global climate action over the coming decades. Countries agreed to limit global warming to well below 2ºC above preindustrial times, closer to 1.5ºC. Humankind will only achieve this temperature goal if we domesticate our international climate commitments. Judges have proven to be instrumental in ...

      Climate Change in Southeast Asia: Focused Actions on the Frontlines of Climate Change 

      Asian Development Bank (Asian Development Bank, 2010-11-01)
      Southeast Asia is on the frontlines of efforts to counter climate change and its impacts. The countries of the region, spread across archipelagos, river basins, and forests, are home to some of the world's most spectacular natural and cultural diversity. With much of the population and infrastructure located in coastal and river delta areas, hundreds of millions of people are at great risk from the ...
