Measurement, Reporting and Verification (A note on the concept with an annotated bibliography)
Under the ENTWINED research consortium, funded by the Swedish MISTRA Foundation, IISD is undertaking research on accountability as it relates to the World Trade Organization, including a comparison with accountability measures and approaches used in multilateral environmental agreements.
This research has involved the review of a wide range of articles, books and other publications. The bibliographies, with brief annotations from our researchers, are made available here for the interest of the policy community.
