Abstract

The 2015 Paris Agreement emphasized non-state actors (NSAs) in climate action, but “greenwashing” concerns persist. The UN introduced a framework for NSA accountability through improved reporting. Yet, data remain inconsistent, especially in the Global South. We propose refining reporting, broadening data collection, and using innovative tech like AI for better tracking and accountability.
