Coal transitions—part 2: Phase-out dynamics in global long-term mitigation scenarios
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…
Coal transitions—part 1: A systematic map and review of case study learnings from regional, national, and local coal phase-out experiences
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…
The role of local knowledge in the governance of blue carbon
There are more than 1500 partnerships and initiatives currently addressing Sustainable Development Goal #14 (Life Below Water), with blue carbon activities – carbon-oriented conservation and restoration projects in coastal ecosystems – representing a small proportion. A key challenge for blue carbon initiatives is the integration of social and cultural dimensions within governance mechanisms – a common problem in global environmental governance. …
Social approaches to energy transition cases in rural Italy, Indonesia and Australia: Iterative methodologies and participatory epistemologies
Transdisciplinary research methods in community energy development and governance in Indonesia: Insights for sustainability science
How geoengineering scenarios frame assumptions and create expectations
A scenario process to inform Australian geoengineering policy
Ecosystem Approaches to Community Health and Wellbeing: Towards an Integrated Australian Governance Framework in Response to Global Environmental Change
Geoengineering governance-by-default: An earth system governance perspective
Between Tun Mustapha and the deep blue sea: The political ecology of blue carbon in Sabah
Blue carbon: Knowledge gaps, critical issues, and novel approaches
A global estimate of carbon stored in the world's mountain grasslands and shrublands, and the implications for climate policy
Engaging with carbon markets: The Libya case
Climate change and the emerging carbon-constrained economy of the 21st Century present new challenges and opportunities for countries of the Middle East and North Africa. This paper discusses the potential for Libya to participate in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the main flexibility mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, which is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development. The paper considers the interacti…
More than CO2: A broader paradigm for managing climate change and variability to avoid ecosystem collapse
Why are there so few afforestation and reforestation Clean Development Mechanism projects
Die Entstehungsgeschichte des "Mann ohne Eigenschaften" von Robert Musil (review)
Fast zwanzig Jahre lang schrieb Robert Musil am Mann ohne Eigenschaften, ohne mit dem Roman fertig zu werden. Warum der Autor nicht in der Lage war, sein Lebenswerk rechtzeitig abzuschließen, ist noch immer eine Frage, mit der sich die Forschung gern befaßt. Musil selber verglich einmal den ersten Band vom Mann ohne Eigenschaften mit einer Brücke, die am anderen Ufer keine Stütze hat. Weil aber jedes Lesen und Verstehen aussetzt, wo es sich nicht…
