Type of Organization Predicted to Be Most Effective on Climate Change
Experts predict that over the next ten years private companies and their associations will be the most effective organizations in terms of developing and implementing appropriate solutions to climate change.
When asked to choose two types of organizations that they predict will be the most effective at developing and implementing solutions to climate change over the next ten years, two-thirds of experts (68%) point to private sector companies and their associations.
National governments, including the EU, are seen as the second most effective type of organization (57%), followed distantly by NGOs (33%), and science and policy research organizations (25%). Fewer than one in ten experts (8%) foresee the UN and its agencies playing the most effective role in developing and implementing solutions to climate change over the next ten years.
