Graeme Auld, Professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration (SPPA), has received the Yvan Allaire Medal in recognition of an outstanding contribution in governance of public and private organizations from the Royal Society of Canada.

The prestigious award recognizes “the relevance and originality of the candidate’s research and publications on the subject of governance in private organizations; the impact of his or her research and contributions; and the influence and reach of his or her research.”

Auld’s research focuses on “comparative environmental politics and policy, global environmental governance, and the rise of private governance and authority.

Much of his work examines the formation, evolution, and impacts of non-state and hybrid forms of global governance across economic sectors. He also researches the design and efficacy of policy aimed at tackling global problems such as climate change.”

“Graeme Auld’s ground-breaking work in the field of environmental policy and governance has influenced both his academic colleagues and his collaborators outside of academia,” said Mary Francoli, Interim Dean of the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs, which includes the School. “It reflects the calibre of social science research conducted in the School, the Faculty, and �Ӱ�ԭ�� University as a whole.”

The award was presented at the Fairmount Chateau Laurier in Ottawa on September 15, 2026.
