A Watershed in Global Governance? underwent an external round of peer review, in which 10 persons external to our institutions reviewed and provided comments on the report. The formal reviewers included five persons who were actively involved in the WCD process, and five with experience in global governance processes, or who were working in the issue areas at the intersection of environment, development, and justice. Additionally, the report was submitted to several people close to the WCD in order to check for factual accuracy. All of these comments are listed below. In response to specific and overall comments provided by reviewers, the authors crafted a detailed response memo, also available below.
