ABSTRACT
This part introduces some of the key principles and elements that need to be in place for what could be termed a climate governance integrity system, a web of interconnected checks and balances that protects against corruption and undue influence. The contributions in this chapter situate such a system in the context of norms, practices and experience of related governance frameworks and environmental regimes, enabling us to learn from and benchmark climate governance against important standards and insights already established. The subsequent chapters then focus on how these principles are applied concretely with regard to adaptation and mitigation policies.
