Co-benefits rarely enter quantitative decision-support frameworks, often because the methodologies for their integration are lacking or not known. This review fills in this gap by providing comprehensive methodological guidance on quantification of co-impacts and into climate-related decision making based literature. The article first clarifies confusion literature about related terms makes a proposal more consistent terminological framework, then emphasizes importance working...
Global climate governance has undergone a significant transformation in the past decade. Previously it might reasonably have been characterized as system governed by UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol, with secondary role for national policy regimes. Since then, large array of initiatives acting across international borders joined regime, including those created subgroups governments, private sector actors various types (specific industrial sectors, institutional investors, etc.),...
The results are presented from a survey of national legislation and strategies to mitigate climate change covering almost all United Nations member states between 2007 2012. This data set is distinguished the existing literature in its breadth coverage, focus on policies (rather than international pledges), use objective metrics rather normative criteria. limited does not cover subnational or sectoral measures. Climate important because they can: enhance incentives for mitigation; provide...
Abstract This paper, and the special issue it introduces, explores whether, how, rise of regulatory state South, its implications for processes governance, are distinct from cases in North. With exception a small but growing body work on Latin America, most deals with US or Europe, takes relatively undifferentiated “legal transplant” approach to developing world. We use term “the South” invoke shared histories many countries, rather than as geographic delimiter, even while acknowledging...
Abstract India occupies an intriguing dual position in global climate politics—a poor and developing economy with low levels of historical per capita emissions, a large rapidly growing rising emissions. Indian politics has substantially been shaped around the first perspective, increasingly, under international pressure, is being forced to grapple second. This review examines initial crystallization positions its roots national politics, then modest ways which have revisited domestic debates...
Global climate change governance has changed substantially in the last decade, with a shift focus from negotiating globally agreed greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets to nationally determined contributions, as enshrined 2015 Paris Agreement. This paper analyses trends adoption of national legislation and strategies, GHG targets, renewable energy efficiency almost all UNFCCC Parties, focusing on period 2007 2017. The uniqueness added value this reside its broad sweep countries, more than...
Achieving a truly sustainable energy transition requires progress across multiple dimensions beyond climate change mitigation goals. This article reviews and synthesizes results from disparate strands of literature on the coeffects to inform policy choices at different governance levels. The documents many potential cobenefits for nonclimate objectives, such as human health security, but little is known about their overall welfare implications. Integrated model studies highlight that...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) conducts policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive assessments of climate science. In this review, we engage with some the key design features, achievements, and challenges that situate characterize IPCC as an intergovernmental organization is tasked producing global environmental (GEAs). These include process working through consensus to assess summarize science need knowledge from many 195 nation-states possible, despite structural...
Growing political pressure to find solutions climate change is leading increasing calls for multiple disciplines, in particular those that are not traditionally part of research, contribute new knowledge systems can offer deeper and broader insights address the problem. Recognition complexity compels researchers draw on interdisciplinary marries natural sciences with social humanities. Yet most approaches fail adequately merge framings disparate resulting reductionist messages largely devoid...
How do states respond to the challenge of climate governance? The Paris Agreement has led heightened interest in domestic policies, but attention underlying national institutional architectures lagged behind. This literature gap deserves be addressed, because change brings considerable governance challenges. Drawing on a collection country studies, this paper outlines framework explain path-dependent emergence institutions, based interplay political international drivers, and bureaucratic...
The Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement pose new conceptual challenges for energy decision makers by compelling them to consider implications of their choices development climate mitigation objectives. This is a nontrivial exercise as it requires pragmatic consideration interconnections between systems social environmental contexts working with plurality actors values. There are an increasing number indices, frameworks academic studies that capture these interconnections,...
India is a significant player in climate policy and politics. It has been vocal international negotiations, but its role these negotiations changed over time. In an interactive relationship between domestic positions, increasingly become testing ground for policies that internalize considerations into development. This article critically reviews the arc of politics begins by examining changes knowledge ideas around change India, particularly areas ethics, impacts, India's energy transition,...
Abstract Carbon emissions—and hence fossil fuel combustion—must decline rapidly if warming is to be held below 1.5 or 2 °C. Yet fuels are so deeply entrenched in the broader economy that a rapid transition poses challenge of significant transitional disruption. Fossil must phased out even as access energy services for basic needs and economic development expands, particularly developing countries. Nations, communities, workers economically dependent on extraction will need find new...
As a significant emitter of greenhouse gases, but also as developing country starting from low emissions base, India is an important actor in global climate change mitigation. However, perceptions vary widely, energy-hungry deal-breaker to forerunner carbon future. Developing clarity on India's energy and future challenged by the uncertainties development transitions, including its pathway through demographic urban transition within rapidly changing policy context. Model-based scenario...
