  • The evidence gap index

    Open AccessSarah Lück, Max Callaghan et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2025

    Climate change impacts are already evident and projected to worsen throughout the 21st century, even with mitigation efforts. Systematic mapping is key to organizing scientific evidence and identifying gaps, but current methods lack geographical context in relation to climate impact risk. In this study, we leverage machine learning to scale up systematic mapping and use automatic geolocation to track place-based research. We then enhance conventi…

  • Under what conditions and why is carbon pricing effective? A realist synthesis of ex-post evidence

    Open AccessNiklas Döbbeling, Diana Danilenko et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    To get on track for the rapid emissions reductions required to meet the Paris Agreement temperature goal, we need to understand what climate policies work, under what conditions, and why. In this review, we study how carbon pricing policies lead to emissions reductions and which context factors make each of these mechanisms more or less effective. We systematically review the evidence from 80 ex-post carbon pricing evaluations, covering 21 policy…

  • Machine learning evidence map reveals global differences in adaptation action

    Open AccessAnne J Sietsma, Emily Theokritoff et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    Climate change adaptation policies are urgently needed, but the large volume and variety of evidence limits the ability of practitioners to make informed decisions. Here, we create an evidence map of adaptation policy research, selecting and categorizing 8,691 documents using state-of-the-art transformers-based machine learning models. We combine policy-relevant categories, such as the NATO-typology and governance levels, with automatically extra…

  • Demand-side climate change mitigation

    Open AccessFelix Creutzig, Joyashree Roy et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    It is now well established that the demand side can contribute substantially to climate change mitigation thus increasing the solution space. The recent IPCC synthesis report for the first time explicitly reflected this class of solutions. Here, we provide an overview of an unique set of 22 review papers published in the focus issue of Environmental Research Letters. We also extract a key set of insights, ranging from the varied but rapidly evolv…

  • Coal transitions—part 2

    Open AccessJan C Minx, Jérôme Hilaire et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    A rapid phase-out of unabated coal use is essential to limit global warming to below 2 °C. This review presents a comprehensive assessment of coal transitions in mitigation scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement, using data from more than 1500 publicly available scenarios generated by more than 30 integrated assessment models. Our ensemble analysis uses clustering techniques to categorize coal transition pathways in models and bridges evid…

  • Countries need to provide clarity on the role of carbon dioxide removal in their climate pledges

    Countries need to provide clarity on the role of carbon dioxide removal in their climate pledges, Lamb, William F, Schleussner, Carl-Friedrich, Grassi, Giacomo, Smith, Stephen M, Gidden, Matthew J, Geden, Oliver, Runge-Metzger, Artur, Vaughan, Naomi E, Nemet, Gregory, Johnstone, Injy, Schulte, Ingrid, Minx, Jan C

  • How global crises compete for our attention

    Open AccessTim Repke, Max Callaghan et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2024Referencias: 9

    The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted peoples’ daily lives and dominated the public discourse. It thus displaced people’s attention to and concerns about climate change. We analyse 13.5 million tweets by 3.2 million distinct users on climate change posted before and after the onset of the pandemic (2018–2021) and show that attention to climate dropped substantially in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. While research has helped to explain this drop i…

    Open AccessMarina Romanello, Claudia Di Napoli et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2023

  • Quantifying global carbon dioxide removal deployment

    Open AccessCarter M Powis, Stephen M Smith et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Despite the importance of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) in most climate change mitigation scenarios that limit warming to well below 2 °C, the study of CDR is still a nascent field with basic questions to be resolved. Crucially, it is not known how much CDR is currently deployed at a global scale, nor how that compares to mitigation scenario estimates. Here, we address this problem by developing an estimate of global current CDR activity. We draw …

  • Attention, sentiments and emotions towards emerging climate technologies on Twitter

    Open AccessFinn Müller-Hansen, Tim Repke et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023Citada por: 3Referencias: 12

    Public perception of emerging climate technologies, such as greenhouse gas removal (GGR) and solar radiation management (SRM), will strongly influence their future development and deployment. Studying perceptions of these technologies with traditional survey methods is challenging, because they are largely unknown to the public. Social media data provides a complementary line of evidence by allowing for retrospective analysis of how individuals s…

  • Enhancing the review process in global environmental assessments

    Open AccessJean Palutikof, Sarah Boulter et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 7

    External review is a fundamental component of Global Environmental Assessments, ensuring their processes are comprehensive, objective, open and transparent, and are perceived as such. Here, we focus on review of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports. The review process has received little scrutiny, although review comments and author responses are public. Here we analyse review documents from the Fourth and Fifth Ass…

  • A review of trends and drivers of greenhouse gas emissions by sector from 1990 to 2018

    Open AccessWilliam F Lamb, Thomas Wiedmann et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions can be traced to five economic sectors: energy, industry, buildings, transport and AFOLU (agriculture, forestry and other land uses). In this topical review, we synthesise the literature to explain recent trends in global and regional emissions in each of these sectors. To contextualise our review, we present estimates of GHG emissions trends by sector from 1990 to 2018, describing the major sources of emissi…

  • Coal transitions—part 1

    Open AccessFrancesca Diluiso, Paula Walk et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    A rapid coal phase-out is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, but is hindered by serious challenges ranging from vested interests to the risks of social disruption. To understand how to organize a global coal phase-out, it is crucial to go beyond cost-effective climate mitigation scenarios and learn from the experience of previous coal transitions. Despite the relevance of the topic, evidence remains fragmented throughout different r…

  • Progress in climate change adaptation research

    Open AccessAnne J Sietsma, James D Ford et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The scientific literature on climate change adaptation has become too large to assess manually. Beyond standard scientometrics, questions about if and how the field is progressing thus remain largely unanswered. Here we provide a novel, inquisitive, computer-assisted evidence mapping methodology that combines expert interviews ( n = 26) and structural topic modelling to evaluate open-ended research questions on progress in the field. We apply thi…

  • Discourses of climate delay

    Open AccessWilliam F Lamb, Giulio Mattioli et al.ARTICLEGlobal Sustainability2020

    Non-technical summary ‘Discourses of climate delay’ pervade current debates on climate action. These discourses accept the existence of climate change, but justify inaction or inadequate efforts. In contemporary discussions on what actions should be taken, by whom and how fast, proponents of climate delay would argue for minimal action or action taken by others. They focus attention on the negative social effects of climate policies and raise dou…

  • What are the social outcomes of climate policies? A systematic map and review of the ex-post literature

    Open AccessWilliam F Lamb, M Antal et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    It is critical to ensure climate and energy policies are just, equitable and beneficial for communities, both to sustain public support for decarbonisation and address multifaceted societal challenges. Our objective in this article is to examine the diverse social outcomes that have resulted from climate policies, in varying contexts worldwide, over the past few decades. We review 203 ex-post climate policy assessments that analyse social outcome…
