  The effect of policy norms on public acceptance of pro-environmental policy measures

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Political economy of climate policy 

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Nick Harring

  There is a substantial body of research investigating and mapping the factors influencing citizens' attitudes toward climate policy instruments. Based on reviews and meta-analyses we also have a quite clear idea about the role of various determinants. Despite this extensive examination, there remains considerable variation in policy attitudes that demands further exploration, not the least […]

  Managing expectations in the application of quality and strength of evidence assessments in qualitative synthesis

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Qualitative evidence synthesis. Contemporary approaches in climate policy research

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Andi Coombes

  Approaches to assessing the strengths and limitations of qualitative studies included in evidence syntheses continue to be discussed in the synthesis community (e.g., Garside 2014, Noyes et al. 2023). This presentation discusses such strengths and limitations in the application of evidence quality and confidence in findings assessments we used in a review of food production […]

  Applying Qualitative Synthesis Methods in Environment and Development: Challenges and Lessons Learned

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Qualitative evidence synthesis. Contemporary approaches in climate policy research

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Biljana Macura

  Systematic reviews, renowned for their explicit methodologies in identifying, appraising, analyzing, and synthesizing study findings, have played a crucial role in shaping research, policy, and practice across various sectors, from health to international development and environmental management. In the realm of environmental and development research, the unique complexities and nature of these fields have led […]

  A systematic mixed-methods review of public perceptions on carbon dioxide removal

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Qualitative evidence synthesis. Contemporary approaches in climate policy research

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Finn Müller-Hansen

  Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is a critical component of strategies to limit global warming to well below 2°C. Development and deployment of CDR methods will be crucial in the next decades as CDR needs to be scaled to several gigatonnes by mid-century. How CDR is perceived will play a vital role for this process, as […]

  Just transitions and Green New Deals: concept synthesis of the qualitative literature

  June 12, 2024 / 10:00 – 11:30 Qualitative evidence synthesis. Contemporary approaches in climate policy research

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Thomas Klug

  Global discourses surrounding the low-carbon transition increasingly feature calls for equity and justice. Momentum behind just transition principles is growing, evolving significantly from their introduction by U.S. trade unions in the 1980s. Recently, just transition principles have begun shaping policies and governance strategies internationally. Some approaches focus narrowly on worker protections in industries undergoing structural […]

  Context factors enabling effective climate policies: A taxonomy of entry points

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

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Rahel Mandaroux

  The effectiveness of climate policies depends on context factors specific to the implementing region. Understanding which context factors are key for the success of a sectoral climate policy is vital to determine promising policy interventions in similar regions. We conduct a machine learning-assisted systematic literature review, to answer the research question which combinations of policy […]

  Residual carbon emissions in companies’ climate pledges: Who has to reduce and who gets to remove?

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

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Rosalie Arendt

  Residual emissions need to be balanced by permanent emission removal to reach the goal of net zero, which has been defined as a balance of sources and sinks by the IPCC. To reach this goal, private sector action and a rigorous definition of residual emissions is crucial. To identify how residual emissions are currently used […]

  Synthesising evidence on approaches to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles

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

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Anthony Patt

  Given the reasonable assumption that people will still be driving two and four-wheeled vehicles in 30 years, then the transition away from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), and almost certainly to electric vehicles (EVs), is an essential one for complete decarbonization of the transportation sector. In one country – Norway – this transition is taking […]

  How can we evaluate the policy mix effectiveness? – A systematic literature review

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

  H 0104 (Elinor Ostrom Hall)

  Presenter:

  Ioannis Milioritsas

  Although there is much disagreement about the appropriateness, usefulness, and cost-effectiveness of specific policy instruments, there is a consensus across disciplines that a policy mix, not only single instruments, is needed to fully decarbonize the energy system. However, there is no agreement on assessing the effectiveness and dynamic interaction within a policy mix. As a […]

  Regions at risk: end-of-century impacts of extreme climate change on global population

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

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Tom Wood

  The human population is projected to grow to between 8.9 billion and 12.4 billion by 2100, with 85% expected to live in cities. Over 80% of global GDP is generated in cities, demonstrating the importance of urban environments to human flourishing. As urban infrastructure systems are vulnerable to climate change it is vital that the […]

  How effective are heat risk management strategies in South Asian cities? A systematic review of literature

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

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Divyanshi Vyas

  Residents in South Asian cities are already facing devastating heatwaves; and at global warming of 2°C, their exposure to heat stress is set to triple. Limiting warming to 1.5°C may halve this impact, but deadly heat stress could become commonplace, especially in urban centers (Ashfaq et al., 2021). In the face of escalating climate change, […]

  Ruptures in perceived solution spaces for adaptation to flood risk: Actor-specific insights from Mumbai’s flood risk reduction and general lessons

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

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Deepal Doshi

  Adaptation to the increasing impacts of climate change will require societies to design portfolios of risk management solutions by selecting from an array of available adaptation options. A major step on the way toward a strong social contract for adaptation is understanding how different actors view different adaptation options as well as what adaptation goals […]
