AbstractThis paper addresses the role performance information plays in the accountability regimes of international climate change financing institutions and how this can be improved. It has been argued that the quality of the performance information of projects financed by public and private sources, as well as how that information is used, influences decisions made by the various actors in the accountability regimes, including the ability to hold actors to account. A theory‐based framework is developed to analyze and enable the improvement of the information produced and used in climate finance accountability regimes. The framework is tested by applying it to the Green Climate Fund via document analysis and key informant interviews. With the help of the framework, gaps are identified, and improvements are suggested so that account holders and account givers can better fulfill their respective roles in the given accountability regime.

AbstractThe concept of resilience has been increasingly adopted on the European Union's (EU) policy agenda as a principle for agro‐food policy‐making. However, resilience is an ambiguous concept, allowing for different understandings and uses in the context of agro‐food policy‐making. This study analyses whether and how resilience is framed and contributes to framing in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post‐2020 reform process by policymakers and stakeholders. Combining deductive and inductive coding, we analysed 123 policy documents of EU institutions and stakeholders related to the CAP post‐2020 reform debate and the associated Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. Five distinct resilience frames were identified: (1) income resilience frame, (2) farmers' supply chain position resilience frame, (3) climate change impact resilience frame, (4) disease resilience frame and (5) ecological resilience frame. Whereas the resilience concept has been deployed by various actors, they differ in their preferred policy actions towards greater resilience.
