摘要：

Integrity in the monitoring/measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) of environmental data is critical for effective environmental governance. In this talk, Wanxin Li will share her observations and research findings on the institutionalization of information transparency, which has enabled social learning and co-production. It is clear technologies and governance models are intertwined with each other in dealing with the principal-agent problem and have implications for environmental data quality, institutional capacity and government accountability. Both Chinese and international experiences will be discussed.

She is highly experienced with evidence-based and transdisciplinary policy research for achieving sustainability transitions.

Her research output appears in tier one academic journals such as Nature and Land Use Policy. Besides the academia, her work has been well received by policymakers, practitioners, and international organizations. For example, she was invited to speak at the OECD International Conference on Environmental Compliance Assurance in Paris, and the Trade and Environment Session of the WTO Public Forum in Geneva. She is also highly effective in guiding students to learn the craft of designing and executing problem driven independent projects.
