Summary
− ESG-Agency scholarship on accountability is linked to legitimacy and agency theories and to research on architecture and power. − ESG-Agency scholars often consider accountability as an isolated, static and normative property, with relatively little critical reflection on its broader, evolving role in earth system governance. − Greater theoretical development is needed on how accountability operates between extremes of governance level (individual to international) and how this relates to international environmental governance initiatives.
