Policy makers are under political pressure to adopt policies that achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Reaching net zero is a demanding challenge requiring durable last; is, withstand short-term turbulence. However, there lack of clarity in the existing literature on both conceptual meaning policy durability and its empirical manifestations. This paper distinguishes between three central dimensions uses them shed new light long-term evolution EU climate policy. It reveals has addressed relationship flexibility by working iteratively across different elements (instruments, programmes, goals, etc.). In revealing these patterns, it addresses greatly neglected feature design processes: dialectical flexibility.

To meet net zero goals, more drastic action is needed than acknowledged by most policymakers, posing a major social challenge that will impact many aspects of people’s lives. This paper emphasises the importance people-centred approach for policy makers to achieve effectively and rapidly while being alert citizens’ needs concerns. We advocate comprehensive inclusive public engagement strategy, discussing insights on four key questions guide policymakers in developing successful strategies. (1) How do climate-friendly transformations happen?, (2) can behavioural change be supported? (3) people involved decision-making zero?, (4) does climate intersect with other societal challenges? conclude clear recommendations: government leadership at all levels (national, devolved, local), underpinned strategy zero, addition fair consistent policies are transparent about scale needed.

Abstract The global climate crisis response envisioned by the Paris Agreement is commonly understood as demanding transformative change. International law, however, lacks a holistic conceptual framing for making sense of what such change would entail, how it might unfold, and who will involve. Moreover, there has been little critical engagement with question at stake when invoking notion transformation. Contributing to broader debate about demands international this article offers appraisal ‘transformation’.

A transition to sustainable energy will require not only technological diffusion and behavioral change, but also policy innovation. While research on transitions has generated an extensive literature, the extent which it used innovation perspective – entailing entrepreneurship or invention, diffusion, success remains unclear. This study analyzes over 8000 publications through a bibliometric review computational text analysis create overview of scholarship, map conceptual engagement with public policy, identify use lens in literature. We find that: (i) though importance is frequently highlighted research, itself analyzed occasionally; (ii) studies focusing have primarily engaged concepts mixes, process; (iii) notions are hardly employed understand sources, speed, spread, successes transitions. conclude that value for untapped propose avenues scholars harness this potential.

Abstract Context Developing ecological networks (ENs) is a widely acknowledged conservation strategy for mitigating habitat fragmentation and ecosystem degradation. Therefore, it crucial to assess the sustainability of ENs before or after their development in order maintain functions service. While most previous studies have explored based on service evaluation structure construction, structures EN rarely been integrally assessed under climate change scenarios. Objective Taking Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration as study area, we aim future current multiple scenarios by integrating its structures. Methods Ten were constructed, including scenario nine Ecological sources derived from importance service, used develop using Linkage mapper toolbox. We then range difference between indicate functional EN. The NetworkX was structural stability sustainability. Results capacity 6.23% projected decline efficiently providing services 2050 selected scenarios, these degradations will also lead 33.55% decrease stability.
