UN Convention Action Agendas Robustness Assessment Using 5C Scorecard

A study by Hollie Folkard-Tapp assesses the robustness of three United Nations convention Action Agendas using a scorecard based on five principles. The analysis, operationalized through 16 questions and 28 indicators, was applied to publicly available documentation and published on figshare in April 2026. The 63.7 KB document reveals variation in the catalytic, collaborative, and credible capacities of the Marrakech Partnership, CBD, and Riyadh Action Agendas.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking governance mechanism robustness based on the described 5C principles (Complementary, Catalytic, Collaborative, Comprehensive, Credible).
• Analyzing strategic coherence and oversight of non-state initiatives based on the assessment of the Global Climate Action Portal.
• Evaluating the design and implementation of nascent action agendas based on the study of the Riyadh Action Agenda.
• Applying a transparent evaluative framework for cross-convention alignment analysis as described in the methodology.

Strengths

• Assessment is based on a defined scorecard with 5 principles, 16 questions, and 28 indicators.
• Analysis covers three major UN convention Action Agendas: UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD.
• Methodology is described as transparent and replicable for analyzing orchestration mechanisms.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 63.7 KB DOCX file, indicating a very limited scope, likely a supplementary document or report.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; data structure must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality and content require manual inspection.
