Governance for Resilience
In policy research, “governance” has emerged as a fundamental idea, representing a transition from traditional forms of government to more contemporary approaches characterized by horizontal and vertical steering.
This paradigm shift entails a departure from bureaucratic, centralized, top-down rules towards more inclusive, decentralized, flexible, and less hierarchical decision-making processes. ICRA Institute recognizes the significance of this transformation and engages in a comprehensive exploration of pertinent issues within this framework.
Central to ICRA Institute’s agenda is evaluating current environmental governance structures and their effectiveness in facilitating the transition to sustainability. Through meticulous analysis, the institute seeks to identify the most successful theories that explain variations in the efficacy of different governance models. Furthermore, ICRA Institute endeavors to address the challenge of examining unforeseen consequences arising from governance interventions, striving to develop strategies for comprehensive impact assessment.
ICRA Institute also recognizes the importance of fostering collaboration and cooperation among multiple institutions operating near problem areas. Understanding the potential for synergy, ICRA Institute explores ways these institutions can connect, overlap, and interact to maximize their collective impact. By promoting cross-sectoral collaboration, the institute aims to enhance the resilience of governance frameworks.
Another critical aspect of ICRA Institute’s work lies in transforming non-sustainable behaviors into sustainable ones. By delving into this complex issue, the institute seeks to identify strategies and interventions to promote sustainable behaviors.
Through research and analysis, ICRA Institute aims to contribute to developing innovative approaches that drive positive change and foster sustainability.
ICRA Institute places great emphasis on stimulating innovation in governance approaches. Acknowledging the need for dynamic and adaptable governance systems, the institute actively explores avenues for encouraging novel ideas and practices.
ICRA Institute aims to pave the way for effective and progressive governance solutions by fostering an environment conducive to innovation.
