Good regulatory practices to protect global commons

Organised by

• Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies
• GGP: Global Governance Programme

This workshop will bring policy practitioners and academics together to explore the design and value of effective regulatory processes across policy fields. Speakers working in very different policy fields will share views on the processes that prove most effective – or ineffective – in achieving public policy objectives today in an interconnected, digitalised world. In particular, it will highlight processes increasingly used to protect global commons – typically for environmental or human health and safety protection, and their relevance for also achieving other public policy objectives, such as increased trade and investment flows. A variety of complementary processes and settings – at national, bilateral, regional, multilateral or plurilateral levels – are available for regulators and policymakers to rely on.

The goal of this workshop is to exchange on the processes that speakers consider essential across countries and policy fields today, determine the strengths and weaknesses of existing frameworks and identify priorities for GRP and IRC processes to be most helpful for governments today.
