Currently discussions all-too-often  revolve around reform of the UN system, which does not encompass a  broader perspective on how best to govern the global commons. The role  of cities and local government is crucial in the broader  conceptualisation of governance. By 2050 cities may account for 90% of  the global economy \u2013 to address the challenge that this will pose, local  governments will need to take leadership in implementing innovative  initiatives to reduce environmental impact. This kind of action is  exemplified by the launch of the Cities for Climate Protection campaign  for voluntary CO2 emission reductions in the aftermath of the Rio Earth  Summit in 1992. Building on this, the paper argues for &#8216;responsive  evolution&#8217; in global governance, developing multi-stakeholder and  multi-layered governance to make global institutional arrangements more  responsive to tomorrow&#8217;s needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Konrad Otto-Zimmermann This paper argues that the conceptualisation of international environmental governance must be broadened.
