The TRANSGOV project, through its empirical research, questions the widely held claim that transparency (in the form of reporting and review) is a universal driver of climate action. Rather than a neutral means of implementation, recent findings from the TRANSGOV project show that international reporting rules have largely privileged the climate priorities of developed countries. This impact project will bring these findings to the policy and societal context of Least Developed Countries with their unique set of domestic priorities, in order to challenge the status quo of current transparency systems.
