  Designing policies to enable equitable and beneficial electrification in the U.S.

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Cities solutions in cities: buildings and transport

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Morgan Edwards

  Electrifying household energy use is a key policy lever for addressing the climate crisis. However, there are many challenges to designing policies to promote beneficial electrification that reduces greenhouse gas emissions while also advancing health, equity, and affordability goals. This research focuses on the case of the United States, where one billion household machines – […]

  Neighborhood-Scale Building Decarbonization: A Strategy for Eliminating Emissions from the Built Environment to Meet Our Climate Goals

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Cities solutions in cities: buildings and transport

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Kristin George Bagdanov

  Credible, at-scale solutions for eliminating emissions from buildings are still in their infancy. Building decarbonization was cited only once—in a footnote—in the IPCC 6th assessment. However, attention to building decarbonization among policymakers and private sector practitioners is growing, especially in the U.S. This focus is necessary, as we need to decarbonize buildings to achieve local, […]

  Fuel Economy Standards and Public Transport

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Cities solutions in cities: buildings and transport

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Julius Berger

  Corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards are a major environmental policy measure in both the EU and US. They require car producers to reach a fleet-wide level of average fuel efficiency. To design effective and efficient climate policies for the transport sector, it is important to understand the relevant channels of fuel economy standards on […]

  Charging ahead: Firm-level optimisation strategies for sustainable and cost-effective electric vehicle workplace charging

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Cities solutions in cities: buildings and transport

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Marcel Seger

  Decarbonising the transportation sector is forecasted to result in a substantial increase in total electricity demand, mainly incurred from charging electric vehicles (EVs). In an effort to reduce scope 3 emissions, firms are building up extensive workplace charging infrastructure to encourage employees’ update of EVs. However, many businesses tend to underestimate the impact of EV […]

  A Graph Neural Network Approach to Citywide Cycling Infrastructure Prioritization

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Cities solutions in cities: buildings and transport

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Silke Kirstin Kaiser

  Increasing the share of cycling in urban areas has many benefits. Cycling improves the quality of life by reducing noise and air pollution, improves individual health and, most importantly, reduces greenhouse gas emissions. The most important lever for promoting cycling is the improvement of cycling infrastructure. However, public opinion is often deeply divided, especially when […]

  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, […]

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Chandni Singh

  Human migration is an age-old strategy to manage risk. It's nature, quantum, and outcomes are changing under climate change and there is conflicting evidence on whether migration can be successful adpatation or not. Drawing on a review of policies and media, and supplemented by an ongoing evidence map of migration-as-adaptation, this paper discusses key research […]

  H 3005

  Presenter:

  Suzanne Carter

  A key part of CLARE’s theory of change is to support research partnerships, produce knowledge and innovation, strengthen capacity and pursue research impact in support of transformational change. This requires individual research projects’ to focus on impact pathways, as well as identifying and pursuing some “threads” that bring together findings that have potential for transformational […]
