In a nutshell
- Improvements to working conditions affects the involvement of NGOs in climate change actions.
- Making NGOs more professional has a positive effect on elaboration of climate strategies but a negative effect on participation in the COPs meetings.
- Exclusion from government law-drafting is major determinant of NGO involvement in climate change actions.
- NGOs that cooperate with the government and are funded by international organizations are more likely to be involved in climate change actions, climate negotiations and implementation of climate projects.
- NGOs working on project implementation lack the resources to undertake other activities.
- A larger budget and more funding sources are positively correlated with engagement in policy change/policy negotiations and increases the probability of implementing projects.
