Keynote – Mapping out the evidence on the role of natural climate solutions in climate change mitigation
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)Samantha Cheng is Director of Conservation Evidence at World Wildlife Fund. Key messages: Systematic mapping of the evidence on climate solutions is critical for efficient synthesis efforts, the identification of evidence gaps as well as efficiently allocating scarce research funding resources The evidence base for NbIs is significant and growing - with the majority assessing […]

Keynote – Assessing land-based climate solutions in IPCC assessments
H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)Cheikh Mbow is Director General at Centre de Suivi Ecologique, Sénégal. Key messages: Many land-based adaptation and mitigation climate solutions can also combat desertification, land degradation and enhanced food security. Most of the response options assessed contribute positively to sustainable development and other societal goals (high confidence). IPCC assessment would benefit from more efficient closing […]

Evidence Synthesis in Climate & Health: A systematic map of reporting quality and digital tool use
H 0112The field of climate and health (C&H) is expanding rapidly and has experienced a substantial increase in evidence synthesis efforts, to help provide robust guidance for policy and practice. To facilitate the efficiency and effectiveness of such work, a range of tools have been developed to help streamline the evidence synthesis process – henceforth referred […]

The safe use of LLMs for screening in systematic reviews
H 0112Background: The field of Machine Learning (ML) for evidence synthesis aims to develop applications of machine learning that save labour by supplementing or replacing human effort at various stages of the systematic review process. Since ChatGPT popularised Large Language Models (LLMs) in November 2022, several projects have assessed the potential to use LLMs to increase […]

Stakeholder needs for Digital Evidence Synthesis Tools for Climate and Health: findings from a global survey and series of workshops
H 0112Background: The climate crisis's profound impact on human health necessitates immediate, evidence-based action. Fast-growing research evidence on climate and health provides new opportunities but makes staying abreast with and rigorously synthesising evidence increasingly challenging and time consuming. While automation tools for evidence surveillance are being developed, they lack rigorous evaluation and their suitability for climate […]

The Political Economy of Carbon Taxation
H 3005Carbon taxation is often seen as a key instrument for cost-effective greenhouse gas mitigation. Yet, we observe an implementation gap in terms of coverage and stringency. Successful adoption of carbon taxes depends on a myriad of political, legal, economic, technical, and multilateral factors. Considering such circumstances is crucial for successful policy choices to mitigate climate […]

Public support for carbon pricing policies and different revenue recycling options: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the survey literature
H 3005Identifying policy conditions that foster public support is critical for implementing effective direct and indirect carbon pricing policies. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the survey-based literature on change in public support for carbon pricing policies when different revenue recycling options are presented to respondents. Following a comprehensive and transparent machine-learning assisted […]

How political attitudes change with energy prices: Quasi-experimental evidence from Germany
H 3005We study the impact of the 2022-2023 energy crisis in Germany. We collect four waves of panel data to measure how political attitudes change with increasing energy prices for households. Our difference-in-differences estimation exploits unique features of the German energy sector, which allows for a quasi-experimental design. We show that increases in electricity payments lead […]

Coal and political backlash in Colombia
H 3005Voter backlash can pose an important political economy barrier to the public and political acceptability of phasing out fossil fuels. We investigate the case of Colombia, a country heavily dependent on coal exports, which recently announced a complete phasing out of fossil fuels. Using a novel and unique data set, we analyze how municipality-level changes […]
