数字技术的兴起为气候治理的透明度和问责制带来了机遇和挑战。本文考察了它们在气候结果背景下对信息流和问责制的影响，分析了三个案例（世界银行气候仓库、气候追踪和开放气候），以评估数字解决方案在提高数据可用性和可靠性方面的潜力，特别是对非国家行为体（NSAs）而言。利用奥斯特罗姆的“使用规则”框架，我们探讨了数字技术如何塑造透明度的结果，突出了挑战和意想不到的后果。我们分析了这些倡议如何构建、设计和实施其数字方法规则，以定义参与者的数据收集、目的和访问规则，所有这些都是影响《巴黎协定》透明度和问责制的关键方面。我们的研究结果揭示了这些数字技术在操作规则方面的不确定性，这些不确定性削弱了它们提高透明度的潜力。出现了三个关键问题：(1)建立适当的规则来管理数据质量的准确性和可信度；(2)解决权力失衡问题，促进包容和公平的透明度；(3)协调数字化解决方案的使用规则，促进后巴黎气候机制的协调和多中心主义。这些见解阐明了数字方法在弥合透明度和问责制差距方面的作用，强调了在全球气候治理中需要仔细设计规则并进行协调，以便有效实施。关键政策见解数字技术有可能在《巴黎协定》气候治理体系中创造新的透明模式，特别是在非国家和次国家行为体层面。通过比较使用数字技术改善气候数据的三个案例，我们评估了各种正式和非正式的“使用规则”，以生成数据并促进行动者和倡议之间的共享，以提高透明度和问责制。为了利用数字技术在提高气候治理透明度和问责制方面的潜力，政策制定者应优先协调使用中的规则，解决权力失衡问题，并确保制定适当的规则来管理数据质量和结构。
The rise of digital technologies poses opportunities and challenges for transparency and accountability in climate governance. This paper examines their impact on information flows and accountability in the context of climate outcomes, analyzing three case examples (World Bank Climate Warehouse, Climate TRACE, and OpenClimate) to assess the potential of digital solutions to improve data availability and reliability, particularly for non-state actors (NSAs). Using Ostrom's ‘rules in use’ framework, we explore how digital technologies shape transparency outcomes, highlighting challenges and unintended consequences. We analyze how these initiatives frame, design, and implement their rules for digital approaches to define their participants’ data collection, purpose, and access rules, all of which are crucial aspects impacting transparency and accountability for the Paris Agreement. Our findings reveal uncertainties in the rules' operationalization for these digital technologies that undermine their potential to enhance transparency. Three key issues emerge: (1) establishing appropriate rules to govern data quality for accuracy and credibility; (2) addressing power imbalances to foster inclusive and equitable transparency; and (3) aligning rules in use across digitally-enabled solutions to promote coordination and facilitate polycentrism in the post-Paris climate regime. These insights shed light on the role of digital approaches in bridging transparency and accountability gaps, emphasizing the need for careful rule design and coordination for effective implementation in global climate governance.KEY POLICY INSIGHTSDigital technologies have the potential to generate new modes of transparency within the Paris climate governance system, particularly at the level of non-state and subnational actors.By comparing three case examples employing digital technologies to improve climate data, we evaluate various formal and informal ‘rules in use’ for generating data and facilitating sharing across actors and initiatives to enhance transparency and accountability.To leverage the potential of digital technologies in advancing transparency and accountability in climate governance, policymakers should prioritize the alignment of rules in use, address power imbalances, and ensure the creation of appropriate rules governing data quality and structure.
