“…This ‘Rio model’ of global sustainability governance was developed in the Agenda 21 action plan (UN, ). At this time it was a system of goal‐orientated multi‐level and multi‐sectoral global governance which aimed to mobilize a broad swathe of actors to pursue sustainability (Jänicke, , ). It is a governance model which is not restricted to government actors, but aims to include a broad variety of business and civil society actors across all levels (Peters and Pierre, ).…”

Multi-level global governance was introduced at the United Nations summit in Rio in 1992 as a new model to achieve a broad global mobilization of different actors in sustainable development. This model has been extended to climate governance. It has become a global system with its own inherent logic, dynamics and stabilization mechanisms. This article deals with the systemic dimension (the architecture) of global multi-level climate governance across levels and sectors. It refers to the model and its practical implementation at different levels. The text poses four hypotheses: (1) the global multi-level system of climate governance can be regarded as a structure which offers opportunities for ambitious innovation-based climate strategies; (2) each level of the global system has its own specific responsibilities, challenges, opportunities and mechanisms for lesson-drawing; (3) the main lesson to be learned is to make use of the cobenefits characteristic to climate mitigation; and (4) the system's multi-sectoral and multi-actor structure provides additional opportunities to address such co-benefits and to mobilize different interests in the pursuit of climate policy objectives. After outlining these hypotheses in more detail, the article will then conclude with a set of policy recommendations.

Abstract:In the challenging context of intense negotiations and radical developments in the field of climate policy, informing stakeholders about opportunities and pathways and about scientific insights and warnings is important to help create positive dynamics. Policy makers need digestible information to design good policies, and understand their options and the possible impacts of these options. They need access to well-structured knowledge, as well as appropriate techniques to manage information and data. However, available information is often difficult to access, not in the right format and of limited use to stakeholders. The range of knowledge needs identified has to be effectively addressed by providing interested parties with suitable, to-the-point information, covering the identified gaps. This is the main aim of this article that proposes the design and development of a climate policy database, which contains all the resources that can cover the identified knowledge gaps. The resources are derived from a broad range of existing reports, research and climate policy decisions at different levels. The goal is to render climate policy associated stakeholders able to extract key policy conclusions. The added value of this database was verified by users and stakeholders that generally argued that the climate policy database facilitates solid understanding of climate policy implications and fosters collaborative knowledge exchange in the field.

“…Jänicke's [23] attempt to ascertain mechanisms for the global diffusion of climate-friendly technologies leads to the identification of three interactive, partly overlapping processes based on virtuous policy-market cycles, the emulation of best practices from domestic markets and pioneer countries and the integration of vertical and horizontal dynamics in multi-level systems of governance. Even if the focus is on the European system of multi-level climate governance, general recommendations are addressed to policy makers.…”
