Multi-Level Governance

Multi-Level Governance (MLG) refers to a system where decision-making authority is distributed across different levels of government—local, regional, national, and even international. Instead of a single authority making all decisions, various layers cooperate and share responsibilities, ensuring that multiple perspectives and interests are considered. MLG facilitates collaboration among governments, organizations, and communities, enhancing policy effectiveness and responsiveness. This approach is especially important in addressing complex issues like climate change or public health, where actions at one level can significantly impact others.
