What role does trust play in global climate governance? For decades, claims of mistrust and distrust have dominated climate change policy arenas: doubts about climate change science and disagreements over rights and responsibilities related to mitigation, adaptation, loss, and damages undermine trust, impeding progress toward effective global climate action. And although frequently invoked in explanations of weak or failed climate action, there is limited research exploring the role of trust as a distinct concept in global climate governance. Here we seek to address this gap by developing a relational framework that focuses attention on how trust dynamics shape cooperation in four types of relationships: reliance, reciprocity, responsibility, and recognition. Applying this framework to the UNFCCC, we consider how efforts like expanded participation impact the relational landscape in global climate governance. We focus in particular on Indigenous Peoples and non-state actors to demonstrate how the UNFCCC's efforts to address its legitimacy and credibility problems have neither adequately considered trust nor created opportunities to develop the transformative relationships needed for more effective climate governance. We suggest that greater attention to trust can help scholars and practitioners better understand how relational phenomena shape the landscape of governance possibilities.

在全球气候治理中采用关系方法：探索信任的作用

信任在全球气候治理中扮演什么角色？几十年来，不信任和不信任的主张一直主导着气候变化政策领域：对气候变化科学的怀疑以及对与缓解、适应、损失和损害相关的权利和责任的分歧削弱了信任，阻碍了有效全球气候行动的进展。尽管在解释气候行动薄弱或失败时经常被引用，但探索信任作用的研究有限作为全球气候治理中的一个独特概念。在这里，我们试图通过开发一个关系框架来解决这一差距，该框架将注意力集中在信任动态如何影响四种关系中的合作：依赖、互惠、责任和认可。将此框架应用于 UNFCCC，我们考虑扩大参与等努力如何影响全球气候治理的关系格局。我们特别关注土著人民和非国家行为者，以展示 UNFCCC 解决其合法性和可信性问题的努力如何既没有充分考虑信任，也没有创造机会来发展更有效的气候治理所需的变革性关系。
