They argue that when rules exist that protect individual organizations\u0026rsquo; autonomy, more diverse groups are likely to join, and confidence in the collaboration\u0026rsquo;s work increases. Through data analysis of similar groundwater sustainability efforts in California, the authors find that inclusive representation, unweighted voting power structures, and unanimity decision rules create effective protective governance structures.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe full article can be read at \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.envsci.2021.08.024\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.envsci.2021.08.024\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe article analyzes governance structures that create effective sustainability collaborations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The article analyzes governance structures that create effective sustainability collaborations."}],"uid":"34946","created_gmt":"2022-02-22 18:32:22","changed_gmt":"2022-02-22 18:41:21","author":"gwyner3","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2022-02-22T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2022-02-22T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"650785":{"id":"650785","type":"image","title":"Brian An","body":null,"created":"1631744009","gmt_created":"2021-09-15 22:13:29","changed":"1631744009","gmt_changed":"2021-09-15 22:13:29","alt":"Brian An","file":{"fid":"246951","name":"Brian An AE2I3371-Edit-Edit.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Brian%20An%20AE2I3371-Edit-Edit.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Brian%20An%20AE2I3371-Edit-Edit.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":1569459,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Brian%20An%20AE2I3371-Edit-Edit.jpg?itok=WlIEfBwW"}}},"media_ids":["650785"],"groups":[{"id":"648414","name":"_OLD: Ivan Allen College \u0022The Buzz\u0022"},{"id":"1289","name":"School of Public Policy"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"166890","name":"sustainability"},{"id":"189929","name":"sustainability planning"},{"id":"340","name":"collaboration"},{"id":"190027","name":"collaborative governance"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:gwyner3@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EGrace Wyner\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECommunications Officer\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Public Policy | Sam Nunn School of International Affairs\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
