  How will tropical vegetation respond to climate change? Implications for nature-based solutions and adaptation

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Climate risks and adaptation in cities II

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Emma Ramsay

  Cities are promoting nature-based solutions to adapt to climate change. Urban nature-based solutions including urban forests, parks, and vertical greenery can mitigate urban heat and flooding whilst providing space for recreation and supporting biodiversity. However, the species planted in these systems are themselves vulnerable to climate change, including rising temperatures, extreme precipitation and more severe […]

  The efficiency of cities in using land: A comparison of Africa and Asia

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Climate risks and adaptation in cities II

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Sohail Ahmad

  Inclusive and land use efficient urbanisation is crucial for achieving sustainable development, particularly in African and Asian cities that will have over 90 per cent of the total increase in the world’s urban population in the next three decades. Using density growth rate, as an alternative indicator to SDG11.3.1, in corroboration with 11 in-depth cases […]

  A conceptual framework for assessing climate change risk factors and consequences for human nutrition

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Nutrition and well‐being of women and children in LMICs

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Tyler Vaivada

  Pathways for the impacts of climate change on human health and well-being are multifaceted, and require sustainable multisectoral responses involving adaptation, mitigation, and resilience. Climate change can impact human nutrition and health through several pathways, including direct effects such as heat-related changes in human behaviour and physiology, and indirect effects through agriculture and food systems. […]

  Research priorities for addressing climate change and human health and nutrition gaps

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Nutrition and well‐being of women and children in LMICs

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Jai K Das

  Climate change poses significant threats to global health, with its effects disproportionately impacting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While there is a growing emphasis on producing evidence to understand the relationship between climate change and health, there remains a dearth of evidence for LMICs. We aimed to summarize current evidence on the health impacts of […]

  Does policy design matter for the effectiveness of local content requirements? A qualitative comparative analysis of renewable energy value chains

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Mitigation policy: evidence synthesis II

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Laima Eicke

  Green industrial policies aim to create local value from renewable energy technologies. Local content requirements (LCR) aim to foster domestic industries by prescribing a minimum share of locally manufactured inputs for investments in renewable energy. However, the policy effectiveness of LCR differs. Whilst they fostered local industries with rising exports in some countries these goals […]

  Challenges in building an evidence base to support the adoption of automation tools in evidence synthesis

  Projecting mid-term growth of wind and solar power growth under empirically-grounded policy assumptions

  June 12, 2024 / 12:00 – 13:30 Accelerating low-carbon energy transitions. Which strategies work and what effort is needed?

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Avi Jakhmola

  There is no consensus on the policy effort required to accelerate the growth of wind and solar power for the climate goals. Some point out that the declining costs assure future expansion even without strong policies. Others document increasing opposition and non-cost barriers and argue that policy interventions should intensify, not abate, over time. Here, […]

  Aligning decarbonisation with energy security: the case of REPowerEU

  June 12, 2024 / 12:00 – 13:30 Accelerating low-carbon energy transitions. Which strategies work and what effort is needed?

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Aleh Cherp

  As a policy objective, mitigating climate change needs to be reconciled with ensuring energy security. While decarbonisation is often beneficial to energy security, the opposite is not true: certain energy security strategies may result in increasing rather than decreasing emissions. In this paper we explore the empirical evidence on the effect of this alignment on […]

  Feasible deployment of carbon capture and storage and the requirements of climate targets

  June 12, 2024 / 12:00 – 13:30 Accelerating low-carbon energy transitions. Which strategies work and what effort is needed?

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Tsimafei Kazlou

  Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) plays a key role in many climate mitigation scenarios and strategies, yet the feasibility of its rapid upscaling has been vigorously debated. Recently, there has been growing interest in CCS and if current plans are realised, global CCS capacity would grow eight-fold from by 2030. However, the bulk of today’s […]

  Phasing out coal: technology, policy and justice

  June 12, 2024 / 12:00 – 13:30 Accelerating low-carbon energy transitions. Which strategies work and what effort is needed?

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Lola Nacke

  Rapid phase-out of coal power is essential for achieving climate targets. Here, we synthesize historical evidence on coal decline and phase-out to develop realistic scenarios and inform future policies. We identify 43 countries that have pledged to stop using coal by a specified date. We show that such pledges were initially made by wealthy countries […]
