Policymakers are confronted with a growing urgency to act upon climate change, while simultaneously, justice considerations increasingly foregrounded in discussions on energy transition policies. Yet, the dynamics between and transitions not well understood. In this study, we investigate these thoroughly by taking stock of bridging different bodies literature urgency, justice, transitions. We found main be enabling jeopardizing. Moreover, there is much nuance within dynamics. find, for example, that policymaking can lead perpetuation injustice, implementing rapid measures also tackle injustice. Our analysis advances understanding supports policymakers navigating their aim just transition. Based our analysis, outline recommendations research policymaking.

Understanding the motivations and implications of climate emergency declarations in cities: The case of Italy

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 178, P. 113236 - 113236

Published: March 14, 2023

This study investigates the climate emergency declaration (CED) movement in cities and its effects synergies with local planning. Urban areas are experiencing a wide range of climate-induced extreme events, particularly those located Mediterranean hotspot. The focus is on Italian cities, which have only recently become key players method based collection, analysis, comparison data CEDs plans (LCPs), integrated information city membership networks, to extrapolate performance indicators CED movement. results show that can motivate municipalities more ambitious action. As February 2021, "climate emergency" was supported by 105 geographically concentrated northern regions (66.7%). motivation behind often attributable populations calling for concrete action (91.1% referred Fridays Future movement) but also greater perception impacts change (85.6% Special Report Global Warming 1.5 °C). Networking plays an important role (85 Covenant Mayors). Interestingly, 36 (34.3%) were not engaged planning previously, shows now they see urgency act. 24.4% aim at carbon neutrality their (most adaptation aspirations), much smaller fraction doing so LCPs generally lower ambition terms greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.

“Our Way of Life is not up for Negotiation!”: Climate Interventions in the Shadow of ‘Societal Security’

Global Studies Quarterly, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 3(3)

Abstract ‘Climate security’ conventionally refers to climate change being a multiplier of threats national security, international peace and stability, or human security. Here we identify hitherto overlooked inverted security discourse in which responses (rather than impacts) are held pose an existential threat dominant fossil fuel-dependent ‘ways life’, justifying extraordinary measures—societal In doing so, seek make three novel contributions. First, set out how societal securitization applies beyond frame relation transnational like change, arguing it promotes not just exceptional measures but also palliative ones that avoid challenging incumbent identities. Second, draw on recent evidence extant literatures show 'societal security' already has substantial material emanations the form measures, deployed domestically against protestors externally migrants, name order cohesion. Third, turn wider policy implications, tilts agendas further away from rapid mitigation pathways toward promissory such as ‘geoengineering’—schemes for future, large-scale technological interventions system—that may appear less threatening established While there sound ecological humanitarian rationales research technologies, context these can be appropriated defend life’ instead. To conclude, reflect how, were attempted, deployment solar geoengineering would affect politics more widely.

Anti-methanogenic potential of seaweeds and seaweed-derived compounds in ruminant feed: current perspectives, risks and future prospects

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology/Journal of animal science and biotechnology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Abstract With methane emissions from ruminant agriculture contributing 17% of total worldwide, there is increasing urgency to develop strategies reduce greenhouse gas in this sector. One the proposed feed intervention studies focused on inclusion anti-methanogenic compounds which are those capable interacting with rumen microbiome, reducing capacity ruminal microorganisms produce methane. Recently, seaweeds have been investigated for their ability ruminants vitro and vivo, greatest abatement reported when using red seaweed Asparagopsis taxiformis (attributed bromoform content species). From literature analysis study, levels up 99% reduction animal feed, although further vivo microbiome required confirm these results as other reports showed no effect emission resulting basal feed. This review explores current state research aiming integrate additives, well examining specific bioactive within that likely be related effects.

Email outreach attracts the US policymakers’ attention to climate change but common advocacy techniques do not improve engagement

Published: Feb. 1, 2025

One of the most challenging aspects climate change mitigation today is not identifying solutions but reaching political leaders with scientists' existing solutions. Although there substantial research on communication, rarely focuses one impactful groups: policymakers. It essential to test theoretically sound methods increase lawmakers' attention evidence. In a series four rapid-cycle randomized controlled email trials (N = 6642–7620 per trial), we three common and derived advocacy tactics U.S. policymaker engagement fact sheet sent via (i.e., norms manipulation, number focused emotional language manipulation). all trials, control message increased more than messages using tactics, measured by clicks. This demonstrates importance testing communication within appropriate populations, especially population considerable influence over policy. None techniques, such as norms, number-focused manipulations, language, were effective in increasing US policymakers' factsheet, according an analysis that used statistical analysis.
