DeepDCarb Publications - January 2023

12/1/2023

 
Global climate action requires cooperation on various levels of the political system. In the international arena high-level forums on clean energy have emerged additionally to the UNFCCC framework.

In the recent article Who takes the lead? A disaggregate analysis of the EU's engagement in the Clean Energy Ministerial and Mission Innovation published in the Journal of Cleaner Production as part of the special issue The End Game: How to Achieve Carbon Neutrality we analyse the cooperation between the major economies on clean energy technologies in the frame of the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM; initiated in 2010) and Mission Innovation (MI; initiated in 2015).

DeepDCarb Publications - October 2022

31/10/2022

 
Despite the proliferation of national climate change advisory bodies, very little is known about what advice they provide, to whom, and when. In ​Advising National Climate Policy Makers: A Longitudinal Analysis of the UK Climate Change Committee - recently published in Global Environmental Change - we systematically analyse all 700 of the recommendations made by the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) in the period 2009–20. The article shows for the first time how the CCC’s mitigation and adaptation recommendations have changed over time with respect to their addressee, sectoral focus and policy targets. We reveal that they became: more numerous per year; more cross-sectoral in their nature; clearer in targeting a specific addressee; and more focused in referring to specific policy targets.

New DeepDCarb Publications - July 2022

20/7/2022

 
In Climate Policy Ambition: Exploring A Policy Density Perspective, we measure climate policy density from 2000-2019 by drawing on three publicly available databases: Climate Change Laws of the World, Climate Policy Database and the Policies and Measures Database. All three measurements show an upward trend in the adoption of climate policy. However, our empirical comparison also reveals differences between the measurements with regard to the degree of policy expansion and sectoral coverage, which are due to differences in the type of policies in the databases. Since the choice of the database and the resulting measurement of policy density ultimately depend on the questions posed by researchers, we conclude by discussing whether some questions are better answered by some measurements than others.

New DeepDCarb Publications - March 2022

23/3/2022

 
A number of papers by DeepDCarb team members have recently been published.

'The political challenges of deep decarbonisation: Towards a more integrated agenda'' appears in the inaugural issue of the newly launched Climate Action journal. As the societal commitment to deep decarbonisation will eventually emerge from the interaction between policies, publics and politicians, in this paper we review the existing literatures on these three to identify salient research gaps. Our findings show that existing work has largely focused on one aspect in isolation. Thus, we set out a more integrated research agenda that explores the three-way interaction these, arguing that greater integration is required to understand better the conditions under which different political systems address societal commitment dilemmas.

New publication on public engagement with climate change

1/12/2021

 
A contribution co-authored by Dr Irene Lorenzoni is featured in the 30th anniversary issue of Global Environmental Change. Progress in understanding and overcoming barriers to public engagement with climate change is one of ten invited commentaries from authors among the highest cited papers from the journal over the period 2001-2019. It follows up on the 2007 publication Barriers perceived to engaging with climate change among the UK public and their policy implications and the new commentary reflects on research published over the past decade and a half on engagement with climate change, from diverse disciplines and perspectives.

A New Review of the Climate Change Transformations Literature

28/10/2021

 
In our update last month, we announced details of recent DeepDCarb publications, including Transformations for climate change mitigation: A systematic review of terminology, concepts, and characteristics. Brendan Moore has recently written a blog post outlining the key findings from this paper, and this can be accessed here.

New DeepDCarb Publications - September 2021

24/9/2021

 
This month, two new peer-reviewed papers were published from the DeepDCarb project.

The first of these 'The Challenging Paths to Net-Zero Emissions: Insights from the Monitoring of National Policy Mixes' features in a special issue of The International Spectator focusing on Europe’s transition to sustainability. Examining data from the last 10 years that member states have reported to the EU on the climate policies that they have or will put in place to achieve collectively agreed EU targets, the analysis reveals that the average expected per-policy-instrument emission reduction has declined, while national policy mixes have remained generally stable over time.
