Climate change, financial stability, threats to health, peace and security are all major global challenges. Yet solutions are elusive amid rising nationalism and public skepticism of global institutions. These issues can hold benefits and/or costs for people around the world, which is why scholars, policy-makers and civil society activists now frequently see them as global public goods (GPGs). But attaching the public-good label to global challenges can be problematic, as the theory of public goods originated in a domestic policy context. This event examines the latest academic and policy debates on GPGs and presents the findings of Global Public Goods, a new book edited by Inge Kaul. What are the benefits of examining global challenges through the lens of GPGs? Does it help resolve these challenges more swiftly and effectively? And how can we ensure the adequate provision of global public goods in an era of increasing nationalism?
