Tackling transformational change in climate policy appraisal
Progress in implementing climate policy in the United Kingdom consistent with the country's target to achieve net zero emissions by 2050 has been modest. This is despite the well-established physical risks of climate change, the UK's broadly accepted intention to act decisively, and the international recognition of the need for transformational climate action. Previous research suggests that the practical and theoretical limitations of existing d…
Best of times, worst of times
The 2022 oil and gas crisis resulted in record fossil-fuel profits globally that rehabilitated the oil and gas industry, obstructed the energy transition and contributed to inflation, but their magnitude and beneficiaries have been insufficiently understood. Here we show the size of profits across countries and their distribution across socio-economic groups within the United States, using company income statements, comprehensive ownership data a…
Cocréation d’un projet sur les réalités autochtones au service du développement des compétences en littératie médiatique multimodale (LMM) et de la compétence numérique d’élèves du primaire
Le projet Premiers Peuples, ou projet p1P, faisant partie du projet de recherche-action MultiNumériC, avait pour objectif d’amener des élèves de 6e année du primaire à être de meilleurs citoyens en développant leur compréhension des réalités des Premiers Peuples au Québec et au Canada. Il s’inscrit dans une initiative de cocréation de projets pédagogiques pour soutenir le développement de la compétence numérique par la littératie médiatique multi…
Heterogeneous capital stocks and economic inertia in the US economy
The timescales of capital investments, and therefore the turnover dynamics of capital stock, have limited representation in macroeconomic modelling. This hinders analysis of the economic inertia produced by these timescales, which is particularly important in the context of a rapid net zero transition in which vast quantities of long-lived investments may need to be prematurely abandoned. We set out to determine the minimum model that is required…
La bande dessinée historique en univers social
Cet article, qui prend la forme d’une documentation de pratique, rend compte d’un projet de cocréation issu d’une recherche-design en littératie médiatique multimodale (LMM) : la création en classe d’une bande dessinée à caractère historique (BD-US). Au cours de ce projet, des élèves de la 6e année du primaire ont produit une oeuvre multimodale (texte - images) afin d’en apprendre davantage 1) sur la période historique des années 1900 à 1960 et 2…
Stranded fossil-fuel assets translate to major losses for investors in advanced economies
The distribution of ownership of transition risk associated with stranded fossil-fuel assets remains poorly understood. We calculate that global stranded assets as present value of future lost profits in the upstream oil and gas sector exceed US$1 trillion under plausible changes in expectations about the effects of climate policy. We trace the equity risk ownership from 43,439 oil and gas production assets through a global equity network of 1.8 …
Global socio-economic and climate change mitigation scenarios through the lens of structural change
Exploring the possibility space
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) have emerged as key tools for building and assessing long term climate mitigation scenarios. Due to their central role in the recent IPCC assessments, and international climate policy analyses more generally, and the high uncertainties related to future projections, IAMs have been critically assessed by scholars from different fields receiving various critiques ranging from adequacy of their methods to how thei…
Which policy mixes are best for decarbonising passenger cars? Simulating interactions among taxes, subsidies and regulations for the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, China, and India
Risk-opportunity analysis for transformative policy design and appraisal
The climate crisis demands a strong response from policy-makers worldwide. The current global climate policy agenda requires technological change, innovation, labour markets and the financial system to be led towards an orderly and rapid low-carbon transition. Yet progress has been slow and incremental. Inadequacies of policy appraisal frameworks used worldwide may be significant contributors to the problem, as they frequently fail to adequately …
Net emission reductions from electric cars and heat pumps in 59 world regions over time
Low-carbon transition risks for finance
The transition to a low-carbon economy will entail a large-scale structural change. Some industries will have to expand their relative economic weight, while other industries, especially those directly linked to fossil fuel production and consumption, will have to decline. Such a systemic shift may have major repercussions on the stability of financial systems, via abrupt asset revaluations, defaults on debt, and the creation of bubbles in rising…
