MABUHAY! WELCOME!

This is the blogspot for Environmental Governance (version 2.0) of Prof. Ebinezer R. Florano Ph.D. of the University of the Philippines-National College of Public Administration and Governance. This site chronicles the random thoughts of Prof. Florano on Environmental Governance. Feel free to e-mail him at efloranoy@yahoo.com. The original EcoGov blogspot can still be viewed at www.ecogov.blogspot.com. Thank you very much.

"Environmental Governance" - Definition

"Multi-level interactions (i.e., local, national, international/global) among, but not limited to, three main actors, i.e., state, market, and civil society, which interact with one another, whether in formal and informal ways; in formulating and implementing policies in response to environment-related demands and inputs from the society; bound by rules, procedures, processes, and widely-accepted behavior; for the purpose of attaining environmentally-sustainable development, a.k.a., "green growth."

Conceptualized by Ebinezer R. Florano in Florano (2008), "The Study of Environmental Governance: A Proposal for a Graduate Program in the Philippines." A conference paper read in the EROPA Seminar 2008 with the theme, "Governance in a Triptych: Environment, Migration, Peace and Order," held on 23-25 October 2008 at Traders Hotel in Pasay City, Philippines.

COP18 Extends the "Life" of Kyoto Protocol

Congratulations to the UNFCCC for the agreements (see PDF copy here) made to renew the life of the Kyoto Protocol. Many will malign your accomplishment, but, it is important to know that there is no perfect international treaty because there will be winners and losers. The road is still long and winding, hence, the UNFCCC and member-countries should keep the lines of communication open, and be open for ideas for improvement.
