Participatory Climate Governance

Accountability

Accountability refers to the “rules, regulations and mechanisms in place that call upon government actors to justify their actions, criticisms or requirements made of them, and accept responsibility for failure to perform with respect to laws or commitments” (Open Government Partnership, 2016). Specifically, it indicates the juridical, oversight and access to information requirements of laws or policies in a legal context. This includes the provision of information and justification for decisions to stakeholders and corrective measures when an actor fails to meet its obligation, including anti-corruption tactics.

PARTICIPATORY & INCLUSIVE

Participatory and inclusive refers to the open, ongoing, meaningful, and transparent dialogue to deliver equitable social outcomes, particularly by giving space to and empowering people, especially the most disadvantaged, to exercise their right to actively engage, review and challenge climaterelated decision-making.
