  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Genito Maure

  The intersection of the INACCT Resilience and REPRESA projects presents a unique opportunity to address climate change impacts through collaborative approaches, enhancing climate policy, and sharing key findings to achieve project goals. INACCT Resilience, focusing on inclusive African coastal cities' resilience, and REPRESA, aimed at improving early warnings and resilience to tropical cyclones, both contribute […]

  Demand-side interventions for sustainable food systems: A meta-analysis of food policy interventions targeting food consumption and waste behaviours

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

  H 0107

  Presenter:

  Paul Lohmann

  It is now widely accepted that a significant portion of emission reductions required to meet net-zero targets must come from individual behaviour change. Shifting consumers towards more sustainable food consumption and avoiding food waste have been identified as key levers to mitigate climate change and slow biodiversity decline. However, there remains a lack of knowledge […]

  A welfare theoretical framework to guide policy evaluation

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Rigorous evidence on climate policies. Informing policy design and implementation

  H 3007

  Presenter:

  Matthias Kalkuhl

  We provide a welfare-theoretic framework for synthesizing the evidence on the impact of policy evaluations and providing ‚fair‘ comparisons between policy instruments. We show how to integrate different outcome variables of interest, such as costs of a policy, effectiveness, co-benefits and distributional effects in reduced-complexity metrics. We illustrate the concept for an ex-ante evaluation of […]

  Living, systematic review ecosystem for understanding what climate policies work

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Rigorous evidence on climate policies. Informing policy design and implementation

  H 3007

  Presenter:

  Jan Minx

  Having the best evidence available on what works under what conditions and why is critical for enhanced climate action and progress towards the Paris Agreement. In this presentation we deal with three fundamental challenges for building a rigorous evidence base for evidence-based climate policy. First, there is an evidence synthesis gap in climate policy evaluation, […]

  Rigorous evidence on climate policies to inform policy design and implementation

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Rigorous evidence on climate policies. Informing policy design and implementation

  H 3007

  Presenter:

  Tobias Kruse

  Tobias Kruse (OECD) will present ongoing work on the systematic collection of ex-post empirical evidence on the effectiveness of climate policies as part of the OECD's flagship Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA) initiative. The IFCMA is OECD’s flagship initiative designed to help improve the global impact of emissions reduction efforts around the world […]

  Time is of the essence: Accounting for observed past transformation progress in the ex-ante assessment of climate policies with integrated assessment models

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Rigorous evidence on climate policies. Informing policy design and implementation

  H 3007

  Presenter:

  Gunnar Luderer

  Years of delay in taking meaningful action on climate change, combined with the increasing impetus to pursue the goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C, have compressed the timescale for decarbonizing the energy system to net-zero to a few decades. The focus of research must therefore shift from the fundamental long-term characteristics of net-zero energy systems […]

  Evidence synthesis of data for tracking progress on adaptation globally

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Tracking climate change adaptation from multiple lines of evidence

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Robbert Biesbroek

  Tracking progress to reduce climate change risks through adaptation has become a topic of significant political interest and debate. Especially under the Paris Agreement’s Global Stocktake and Global Goal on Adaptation, there are increasing calls for ways to assess progress on adaptation globally. The COP28 decision text includes calls for an iterative adaptation cycle assessment […]

  Multilingual topic modelling international collaborations: lessons from United Nations initiatives on food, water and climate

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Tracking climate change adaptation from multiple lines of evidence

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Anne Sietsma

  In a variety of domains, the United Nations (UN) asks countries and other actors to submit large volumes of documents. Natural Language Processing, especially topic modelling, can be used to gain insights into such datasets and their underlying politics. Here, we use topic models to analyse three different UN processes: the Global Stocktake under the […]

  Women are under-represented in adaptation policy research and are more likely to emphasise justice topics

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Tracking climate change adaptation from multiple lines of evidence

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Diana Danilenko

  This paper is the first to analyse the role of women authors in fostering justice-relevant topics in climate adaptation research. As representation, citation and payment patterns remain gender-biased across scientific disciplines, we explore the case of climate science, particularly adaptation, as its most human-oriented facet. In climate research and policy, there has been a recent […]

  Current challenges in agricultural intensification and land use change in Latin America: land sparing, land sharing, rebound effect, and leakage.

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Land use: sectoral interventions

  H 0112

  Presenter:

  Julio Díaz-José

  Humanity faces a double threat: burgeoning food demand from a growing population and ecological degradation fueled by agricultural expansion. Crop production can be increased through cropland expansion (more land), and crop intensification (producing more per unit of cropland). Embracing sustainable intensification on existing agricultural land rather than the unsustainable quest for ever-greater acreage has been […]

  Urban form features determine spatio-temporal variation of ambient temperature: Assessing the transferability of land Use classes effect across diverse Urban Contexts

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Land use: sectoral interventions

  H 0112

  Presenter:

  Aicha Zekar

  Driven by ongoing urbanization and accelerated global warming, urban heat stress develops into a major threat for a large part of the world population. While the literature is clear about the relevance of urban form in modifying urban heat, the spatially explicit context of heat modifications by the built environment is insufficiently explored across cities.

  Geospatial Impact Evaluation of Agricultural Intensification Program in Niger

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Land use: sectoral interventions

  H 0112

  Presenter:

  Sanchi Lokhande

  Climate change is exacerbating food insecurity around the world, particularly in drought-prone areas that are already highly vulnerable, such as the Sahel region of West Africa. To improve food security and resilience, the government of Niger, with funding from the West African Development Bank (BOAD), implemented a multi-faceted agricultural production intensification program in 2011 (PIPA/SA).
