Abstract

This report is an attempt to do something novel: rather than explore how many people think the world is in trouble, it looks at the willingness of people in key countries around the world to support real, credible, and global solutions. The Global Governance Survey examines attitudes to the state of the world, revealing deep concern over conflict, economics, corruption, and other global issues, as well as potential global governance responses to issues of peace and security, pandemics, climate change, and institutional reform. It looks at views in twelve major countries: the Group of 7 (the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany, Italy, and Japan) and the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). It finds a surprisingly broad agreement about responses to aggression, war crimes, and international law and justice. Pandemic response is seen as a bright spot, and there is wide support for measures to prevent another while providing for Universal Health Care. There is also consensus for action on climate, including the Loss and Damage fund agreed to, in principle, in 2022 to compensate for climate impacts, as well as policies to push for further action. There are substantial majorities for creating an international anti-corruption court, broadening permanent membership and restricting the veto in the UN Security Council, and strengthening linkages between the UN and the G20, as well as with national parliaments. The citizens of the twelve countries display a marked preference for multilateral action on security, climate, global health, and human rights issues. The survey also shows the spread of a sense of global citizenship. The most important finding lies in its conclusion: that the peoples of the countries surveyed are well ahead of their leaders in their willingness to accept innovation in global governance to confront the world’s challenges.
