Using interview data with experts working on climate emergency declarations research across the UK, the authors of this paper critically discusses four themes that have underpinned and catalysed the changing geographies of civil-state relationships within the climate emergency and what this may mean for future global climate governance.

In four video stories, this paper explores the impact of varying the type of protagonist species (Elephant and WildDog) and content about the role of humans in causing wildlife loss (Elephant + HumanAction and WildDog + HumanAction) using Facebook A/B split tests. Read more

The authors of this paper assess the quality of state-of-the-art regional climate information intended to support climate adaptation decision-making. They use the UK Climate Projections 2018 as an example of such information. Read more

This paper uses the housing market to examine the costs of indoor air pollution. The authors focus on radon and find that as published risk levels in England show an increase, property prices decrease. Read more

This paper shows that economic models of climate change produce climate dynamics inconsistent with current climate science models. Read more

Measures of inequality aversion are elicited using hypothetical decision tasks. The tasks require an assessment of projects in the presence of environmental inequalities across space and time. Read more

This analysis explores schemes for the monitoring, reporting and verification of fossil fuels, and points to a hybrid fossil fuel-based accountability framework that accounts for infrastructure and production volumes. Such transparency would provide opportunities for democratic oversight of climate governance efforts and channels to hold states accountable for their climate performance. Read more
