Working group lead: William San-Martin

Governance Working Group

The central objective of the governance working group will be to develop a more expansive and action-oriented research agenda for N governance, which will in turn lead to the coproduction of more effective governance options to implement national action plan targets. This working group will bring together experts, disciplines and methodologies that have often been sidelined in the N research community, notably the social sciences and the humanities, with a range of governance scholars and stakeholders.

In addition to identifying policy databases to be added to the collaborative data platform, example outputs include guidance documents and policy briefs for national governments and other relevant stakeholders on the development and evaluation of different governance options for national action plans, a perspective paper on the research agenda for N governance moving forward, and regionally or sectorally specific grant proposals.
