Extensive scientific literature exists on the risks associated with climate change in cities. Contrarily, analysis local governments face moving towards zero emissions targets is sparse, topical, and local. In this study, we provide a first-of-its-kind synoptic risk directly based cities' experiences, inputs, prospects for future, collated through questionnaire to express interest European Mission 100 Climate-Neutral Smart Cities by 2030. This novel dataset contains variety of information 362 cities provided relation all critical (technological non-technological) elements that contribute mitigation, while enucleating may arise along way. The focuses nine domains (including political, financial, regulatory, operational, organisational, collaborative, social, environmental, safety/security risks) delves into possible solutions. These insights will be extremely useful timely i) design precautions safeguards, ii) motivate new policies instruments, iii) inform assistance services forms support, iv) inspire other creation an enabling inclusive environment zero-emission futures. Furthermore, reveals substantial lack supportive when it comes non-technological aspects transition neutrality.

The mitigation scenarios database of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Sixth Assessment Report is an important resource for informing policymaking energy transitions. However, there a large variety models, scenario designs, and resulting outputs. Here we analyse consistent with limiting warming to 2 °C or below regarding speed, trajectory, feasibility different fossil fuel reduction pathways. In 1.5 no limited overshoot, global coal, oil, natural gas supply (intended all uses) decline average by 95%, 62%, 42%, respectively, from 2020 2050, but long-term role highly variable. Higher-gas pathways are enabled higher carbon capture storage (CCS) dioxide removal (CDR), likely associated inadequate model representation regional CO2 capacity technology adoption, diffusion, path-dependencies. If CDR constrained limits derived expert consensus, respective modelled reductions become 99%, 70%, 84%. Our findings suggest need adopt unambiguous near- benchmarks in production use alongside other climate targets.

Climate change and environmental degradation remain the most complex challenges that present future generations of humankind face raise several security risks have received relatively little attention in literature. This paper aims to review evidence arising from these Global South provide forward-looking perspectives on how increase resilience affected individuals communities. We see diverse land use strategies as a key element drive transformation towards greater sustainability resilience. propose rural should be geared promotion resource biodiversity conservation, development agroforestry, tree-based farming systems, diversification crops, utilization climate-resilient cultivars, neglected under-utilized plants. These actions would contribute addressing stemming interconnected climate degradation.

Without rapid changes to agriculture and food systems, the goals of 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change will not be met. Food systems are one most important contributors greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but they also need adapted cope with impacts. Although many options exist reduce GHG emissions in system, efforts develop implementable transformation pathways hampered by a combination structural challenges such as fragmented decision-making, vested interests, power imbalances policy communities, all which compounded lack joint vision. New processes governance arrangements urgently needed for dealing potential trade-offs among mitigation their security implications.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs) has been established to alter our world by addressing the challenges faced humanity in order promote wellbeing, economic prosperity, and protection of environment. SDGs provide a holistic multi-dimensional approach development compared conventional plans that focus on limited range dimensions. As result, linkages between may result differing outcomes. This research is first investigate direct relationship environmental social with firms’ financial performance moderating role green innovation. Data from 67 companies five continents (Europe, Australia New Zealand, Asia, North America, Africa) their top blue-chip firms were collected through content analysis. Generalized least squares (GLS) used test relationships. results showed positive correlation negative significance performance. However, mixed findings regarding moderation variable innovation over found. new extend SDG literature empirical evidence practitioners policymakers.

Abstract Carbon dioxide removal is rapidly becoming a key focus in climate research and politics. This raising concerns of “moral hazard” or “mitigation deterrence,” that is, the risk promises and/or efforts to pursue carbon end up reducing delaying near‐term mitigation efforts. Some, however, contest this risk, arguing it overstated lacking evidence. In review, we explore reasons behind disagreement literature. We unpack different ways which moral hazard/mitigation deterrence (MH/MD) conceptualized examine how these conceptualizations inform assessments MH/MD risks. find commonly recognized feature modeled pathways but conclusions as real‐world existence diverge on individualistic versus structural approaches examining it. Individualistic favor narrow MH/MD, tend exclude wider political‐economic contexts emerges. exclusion limits value relevance such approaches. argue for broader understanding what counts evidence practices propose agenda complements theoretical accounts with empirical studies structures may drive dynamics. article categorized under: The Economy Climate Mitigation > Benefits Social Status Change Knowledge Sociology/Anthropology Policy Governance Multilevel Transnational

Recent proposals in the US and elsewhere aim to tackle climate change socioeconomic inequalities together through a Green New Deal (GND). GND have been criticized by high-profile advocates of carbon-centric policies—advocates who do not perceive be significant drivers argue that GNDs' wider agenda will undermine decarbonization efforts. Here, we show drive emissions-intensive consumption production, facilitate obstruction policies wealthy elites, public support for policy, weaken social foundations collective action. This suggests integrating certain into program social, economic, democratic reforms would achieve more effectively than alone. We common policy components GNDs indeed causal mechanisms which fuel change, enable effective political strategies policies.
