The rising importance of cities, states and regions, firms, investors, other subnational non-state actors in global national responses to climate change raises a critical question: what extent does this action deliver results? This article introduces conceptual framework that researchers practitioners can use as template assess the progress, implementation, impact by sub- actors. is used review existing studies track achievement such between 2014 mid-2019. While have made important advances...
To keep the window open to limit global warming 1.5 C, countries need accelerate transformation towards a net-zero emissions future across all sectors at far faster pace than recent trends, according this report from World Resources Institute and ClimateWorks Foundation, with input Climate Action Tracker. For example, finds that get on track for emission cuts required by 2030, world needs to: Accelerate increased share of renewables in electricity generation five times faster; Phase out coal...
Momentum for national net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) commitments is growing quickly. Nonetheless, there are justifiable concerns over their credibility. And as no country has fully decarbonized yet, it difficult to determine whether current efforts likely trigger the scale of transformation required achieving net zero. Yet will be too late if we wait until mid-century assess have achieved this global benchmark. As nations enhance near-term action reach climate goals, critically important that...
This paper considers the growing need for frameworks that provide confidence governments are increasing near-term climate action to reach net-zero GHG emissions targets. National already taking concrete action, but it is difficult determine extent which current and planned future will enable transformations necessary radically decarbonize economies while ensuring a just transition. To explore this challenge, we present framework showing key national actions achieving transition net zero.
The University of Arizona Library, in collaboration with the campus commercialization unit, created a partnership that contributes to early development inventions pipeline. library-commercialization business-intelligence workgroup was incorporated into overall business-development workflow 2014 and is comprised librarians professionals working together provide insight decision support for strategies emerging from university research aligns market drivers. These efforts are recognized by...
This paper provides key insights into the 29 long-term climate strategies formally communicated to United Nations as of June 2021, identifying common trends and major transformations that countries envisage across all sectors their economies. It finds generally demonstrate a significant commitment reaching goals Paris Agreement. However, more many nations need submit strategies, well regularly review revise them over time.
Since the Paris Agreement, subsequent COP decisions have increasingly encouraged Parties to align their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) with 1.5°C, building on earlier calls NDCs long-term, low-emissions development strategies (LT-LEDS) “towards just transitions net zero.” This research examines characteristics that might constitute alignment of national net-zero targets, mitigation goals in LT-LEDS, and collective 1.5°C goal, summarizes implications recommendations for those...
Abstract For more than fifty years the United States waged wars of removal in Florida against Seminole Indians. This article unpacks how Seminoles deployed their knowledge about Florida’s environment and, crucially, an understanding American fears to resist and loss territory. Taking movement, home construction, language placing it dialogue with sources from soldiers settlers involved wars, this reveals a new facet Indigenous resistance colonial violence, rooted relationships natural world....
This paper examines the co-benefits of a pathway to net zero emissions (NZE) in Ethiopia focusing on economic, social and environmental impacts climate change mitigation adaption. Using novel, participatory, systems dynamics modeling approach – Green Economy Model (GEM) authors assess NZE against business-as-usual (BAU) scenario 2050. Assumptions, design model, features pathways were gathered through collaborative initiative, working with representatives government local experts. The...
In 2018, the University of Arizona Libraries entered into a 5-year evidence-based acquisition agreement with ProQuest to provide access over 250 primary source collections; otherwise fiscally prohibitive acquire. The model ensures perpetual collections selected by that meet teaching and research needs our faculty students while providing constituencies broad collections. This article covers implementation assessment this compared other EBA PDA models new learnings particular model.
The paper specifically explores the corollary benefits for economic development and environmental sustainability of a low-carbon, climate-resilient, green pathway Ethiopia—a that is consistent with attaining country’s medium- long-term goals. analysis compares net zero emissions (NZE) business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. BAU scenario embeds optimistic (high) growth assumptions from Ethiopia’s 10-Year Development Plan, it incorporates gradual early incremental adoption several climate...
The paper highlights practices, challenges, and lessons learned from Ethiopia’s experience to mainstream climate change considerations into development strategies. It narrates evolution with national planning along the policy cycle [planning, implementation, monitoring evaluation (M&E)]. further summarizes how Ethiopian mainstreaming process has evolved become a core pillar of agenda.
