#53: Renewables, climate targets & the accountability trap with Prof. Susan Park

This week India & Heidi learn about 'the accountability trap'
with Prof. Susan Park from the Sydney Environment Institute. What
you'll learn:



What incentives do states have to meet their agreed climate
targets? (hint: not a lot)

What happens if states don't meet these targets (hint: not a
lot)

What is the 'accountability trap'?

How can we hold states responsible for not meeting these
targets?



Also listen in at 17:48 to hear the sweet sweet voice of Sir
David Attenborough as he calls out the Aus Gov for their lack of
action on climate change.


Susan Park is Professor of Global Governance at the USYD and
acting deputy director of the Sydney Environment Institute, where
she focuses on how state and non-state actors use formal and
informal influence to make the Multilateral Development Banks
(MDBs) greener and more accountable.
