If we are going to be able fight climate change in an effective way there is a need for profound sustainability transformation of society. The question how everyday pro-environmental behavior such as climate-friendly food choices should looked upon this context: something that hides the structural change, or starting point transformation? aim discuss emotions related conflicts encountered when trying make society not always sustainable can used promote transformational learning. Interviews were performed with 15 adolescents. Emotions felt relation and youth cope explored. results show mainly individualized guilt, helplessness, irritation they coped primarily by distancing themselves from felt, but also sometimes problem-focused through positive reappraisal.

Abstract Global industrialization and excessive dependence on nonrenewable energy sources have led to an increase in solid waste climate change, calling for strategies implement a circular economy all sectors reduce carbon emissions by 45% 2030, achieve neutrality 2050. Here we review with focus management, energy, air water quality, land use, industry, food production, life cycle assessment, cost-effective routes. We observed that increasing the use of bio-based materials is challenge terms cover. Carbon removal technologies are actually prohibitively expensive, ranging from 100 1200 dollars per ton dioxide. Politically, only few companies worldwide set change goals. While can be implemented various such as waste, buildings, transportation, assessment required optimize new systems. Overall, provide theoretical foundation sustainable industrial, agricultural, commercial future constructing routes economy.

The growing urgency of the climate crisis necessitates innovative educational approaches to equip people with knowledge and skills address challenges be able influence policy effectively. Education can a central asset promoting action, yet importance change education has been underexposed in large influential assessment reports such as those from IPCC. This study provides comprehensive mapping literature on particular focus time period 2008-2023. By combining human coding natural language processing (NLP) techniques, we examined diverse corpus over 6’000 publications peer reviewed literature. findings highlight pivotal role across various disciplines its alignment critical research themes adaptation, mitigation, disaster risk management, sustainability. Our analysis reveals three predominant topics within which are related effective learning methodologies, sustainable development education, adaptation resilience. Additionally, identified emerging emphasizing youth agents, necessity transformative practices energy literacy. Through geoparsing, it was possible infer country mentions case studies. These appeared largely skewed towards English speaking countries United States Kingdom, underpinning diversifying funding fostering an open data culture. insights gained this scoping review underscore potential not only enhance but also drive community engagement initiatives, thus contributing broader action efforts. In essence, suggests for cultivating active informed society capable addressing pressing posed by change. Importantly, calls integration into policy-relevant reports.

Abstract Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been widely employed in economic, social, and environmental impact assessments for low-carbon policies. As net-zero transition has become a global trend, it is crucial to conduct systematic review of how CGE serve This examined 1002 studies published between 2001 2021, revealing the application policy analysis by researchers 51 countries, including United States, China, Western Europe, Japan, Australia, while Latin America, Central Asia Eastern Europe are limited. Climate targets, carbon pricing, energy main focuses analysis, land policy, demand-side actions, several other policies less studied. In addition, generally on economic impacts reduction, with growing amount attention social consequences.

Carbon emissions from the transport sector (COE) has witnessed unprecedented growth, which calls for special measures to control these achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. One of taken limit is climate change mitigation technology related (CCMT). However, there exists relatively scant literature that explores CCMT-COE nexus. Hence, present study whether CCMT curbs COE in top carbon-emitting countries. For this purpose, we employ a panel quantile regression (PQR) approach, probes impact on low-, middle, and high-emission The result shows does not affect at lowest (i.e., 10th quantile) while plunges all other quantiles. In particular, 1% increase 0.13% 25th, 50th, 75th quantile, upsurge impedes 0.22% 90th quantile. light findings, policy should invest mitigating scale it up out.

Most governments aim for net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, but none know fully how to get there. The papers in this special issue examine the role of climate governance action, addressing three research questions: a) what characterizes enduring governance, b) which factors drive developments, and c) can these be sustained within polity? In introductory article, we present ideal-typical models that provide answers questions. are, respectively, market failure, socio-technological transition, public support models. Political science, as a discipline, is ideally suited contribute further development model, bears much promise sustaining energy transition. issue's contributions highlight two concepts crucial regarding governance: complexity consensus. These mutually constitutive: policy packages question, including its (heterogenous) societal dimensions, will have greater chance being more efficacious less contested.

Profound societal change along with continued technical improvements will be required to meet our climate goals, as well improve people’s quality of life and ensure thriving economies ecosystems. Achieving the urgent necessary transformations laid out in recently published IPCC report require placing people at heart action. Tackling cannot achieved solely through technological breakthroughs or new models. We must build on strong social science knowledge base develop a more visible, responsive interdisciplinary-oriented that engages is valued its diversity by decision-makers from government, industry, civil society law. Further, we need design interventions are both effective reducing emissions achieve wider goals such wellbeing, equity, fairness. Given all solutions involve one way another, sciences have vital role play.
