  Systematic review of the effectiveness of green financial policies in re-directing finance flows in line with the Paris Agreement

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis I

  H 0107

  Presenters:

  Bjarne Steffen

  Valeria De Los Casares

  Reaching a pathway towards net zero GHG emissions requires massive investments in low-carbon infrastructure. At the same time, it is crucial to rapidly transition finance away from fossil assets. Accordingly, the redirection of finance flows is a key objective of the Paris Agreement (Art. 2.1c). Over the last decade, countries have started to enact policies […]

  Adding Water to the Nexus: A Systematic Review of Carbon, Biodiversity, and Water Offsetting

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis I

  H 0107

  Presenter:

  Felice Diekel

  Offsetting has become an increasingly prominent instrument in climate and environmental policy. The focus here is primarily on carbon and biodiversity offsetting, with water being added as a new type of offset. In the discussions to date, these three offsetting types have largely been considered in isolation. This could lead to new externalities caused by […]

  Co-benefits of CO2 emission reduction from China’s green finance pilot policy between 2012-2020

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis I

  H 0107

  Presenter:

  Leanne Tan

  At present nearly 150 countries and regions are ready to propose or have already proposed carbon neutral targets, and finance is a key issue in global climate governance. China has pledged to "strive to reach the peak before 2030 and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060", which requires up to 100 trillion yuan of financial […]

  Systematic review of the achieved emissions reductions of carbon offset projects across all major sectors

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis I

  H 0107

  Presenter:

  Benedict Probst

  Many net-zero emission targets by governments and fi¬rms rely on offsetting emissions. Several studies have raised concerns about the environmental integrity of individual offset projects, though systematic evidence is missing. We synthesised existing rigorous empirical studies evaluating 2,353 offset projects across all major offset sectors. Our analysis shows that offset projects achieved considerably lower emissions […]

  Long-term Degradation Rate of Photovoltaic Modules: A Meta-analysis

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis I

  H 0107

  Presenter:

  Michael Straub-Mück

  A critical factor in determining the ecological and economic benefits of photovoltaic investments is the projected lifespan of the installed photovoltaic modules. Therefore, a well-founded estimate of the decline in power output over an extended period is essential in assessing whether an installation under a specific set of conditions can meet performance expectations. This power […]

  A Systematic Review of the Literature on Determinants of Public Acceptance of Climate Policies

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Political economy of climate policy II

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Uyanga Turmunkh

  Mitigating dangerous climate change will require a rapid decarbonisation of the world economy, with emissions brought to net zero levels within the next three decades. By now, 145 countries covering close to 90% of the global emissions have announced or are considering net zero targets by 2050 or 2070. However, policies and action put in […]

  Breaching the social contract? Insights on the public acceptability of fossil fuel subsidy removal in Colombia

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Political economy of climate policy II

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Mauricio Boehl Gutierrez

  The elimination of fossil fuel subsidies presents a practical strategy for global south countries to bolster climate mitigation endeavours. In our research paper, we delve into the crucial role of public attitude toward the subsidy removal in Colombia. Since 2022, the Colombian government has gradually elevated gasoline prices to align with global market rates, aligning […]

  Unraveling the Link Between Political Discourse on Climate Change in EU Party Manifestos and Climate Policy Implementation

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Political economy of climate policy II

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenters:

  Silvia Pianta

  Mary Sanford

  How do political parties discuss climate change and climate policies in their manifestos? To what extent does such discourse correlate with countries’ climate policy output? With more ambitious climate action required to achieve global climate mitigation goals, climate change has become increasingly salient in the political arena. However, the literature currently lacks a comprehensives analysis […]

  Public preferences for phasing-out fossil fuels in the German building and transport sectors

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Political economy of climate policy II

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Tim Tröndle

  In most of Europe, the decarbonisation of the building and transport sectors lags behind emission targets. Achieving full decarbonisation requires not only the diffusion of net-zero emission technologies but also the phase-out of technologies that emit greenhouse gases (GHG). However, implementing policy changes in these sectors can have an immediate and significant impact on people’s […]

  The Social, Economic, and Political Trade-offs of Climate Change Adaptation in Uganda: Towards building resilient communities

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) evidence-based climate adaptation action through transdisciplinary, co-created, capacity-focused research and syntheses

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Florence Muhanguzi Kyoheirwe

  Worldwide and Uganda in particular, climate change continues pose significant challenges to communities. The changing climate, characterized by erratic rainfall patterns, prolonged droughts, land degradation, and extreme weather events have adversely affected agriculture, water resources management, public health, and infrastructure development. To address these challenges, various initiatives have been implemented by state actors, non-state actors, […]

  Maximizing the Contribution of Aviation to 2050 Net-Zero Emission Reduction Pathways through Evidence-Based Policy

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Kavita Surana

  The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and multiple influential trade groups such as the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have announced goals to make aviation net-zero by 2050. However, in most net-zero pathways aviation is still considered a hard-to-abate sector that is unlikely to contribute meaningfully to emissions reductions in this timeframe. Designing ambitious policies […]

  Towards Effective Subnational Climate Policy: A Systematic Five-Step Analytical Approach Based on Evidence from German States

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Guido Ropers

  While much of the discussion focuses on international and national climate policy, achieving international climate goals will also require rigorous climate policy action at the subnational level. However, it is challenging to evaluate and formulate the level and type of subnational action required within this complex and interconnected multi-level context. Synthesising insights from projects in […]
