International NGOs and the Climate Sector: Global Governance in the 21st Century
 

NGOs, especially the large international NGOs, have become increasingly visible as de facto developers of global policy, a development which raises significant questions about their standing in the structure of global governance. What criteria establish the credibility and legitimacty of NGOs and by whom or what are these judgements made? Is there a potential or actual conflict of interest between the "donors" which support an NGO and the beneficiaries of its activities? Should international NGOs be regulated, and if so, by whom or by what? The climate negociations provide a good illustration of this issue. In sheer numbers alone, NGO presence is difficult to miss: some 1,100 were registered for the COP meetings in Paris in 2015, with over 7000 participants, a presence which has not significantly diminished with subsequent COP meetings.
