he Example of the Global Compact Local Networks‘.
The study features the UN Global Compact as an exemplary platform for addressing global sustainability challenges. It highlights collective action and policy dialogues as the right governance mechanisms for the safeguarding of common goods and presents five enablers for the successful initiation and implementation of such initiatives. Examples from 23 Global Compact Local Networks around the world as well as 36 case studies of collective action and policy dialogue are featured.
The study was launched at the Rio+20 Conference in June 2012 as part of the Corporate Sustainability Forum.
