The proposed sustainability due diligence obliges certain European companies and companies of third-countries generating significant turnout in the EU to conduct due diligence in identifying, preventing and ending potential or actual negative environmental and human rights impacts. The proposal includes new means for injured parties to access justice by establishing civil liability and complaints procedures for those experiencing actual and foreseen adverse impacts in relation to the operations of the companies. The report analyses the trade structures between the EU and Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, relevant principles of international law on human rights, environmental law, labour rights, corruption and rule of law, technology transfer, and liability rules, considered important to LDCs. The Draft Directive is almost silent on developing countries and LDCs where one can see that problems of human rights conditions and environmental harms are more prominent.

But to what extent does this remain true of modern China? This book provides an updated perspective on modern China through a series of cutting edge, original studies focusing on public administration in China. The book opens with an overview of the key political institutions and the evolution of public administration research in China, followed by two distinct sections. Part I contains studies focusing on power, governance, and administration. Part II focuses on ‘what works’ in solving wicked problems in Chinese society. The volume shows that China has seen some localisation and decentralisation, alongside experiments with collaboration and networked-based policy making. However, the system of governance and public administration remains innately top-down and centralised with the centre holding strong policy levers and control over society. As the pandemic revealed, this statist approach provided both governing opportunities and disadvantages. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Policy Studies.},

Taking a historical approach, the book examines the evolution of agriculture and the food system in the UK over the last century and discusses the implications of tackling climate change for food, farming and land use, setting the UK situation in an international context. The chapters analyse the key challenges for this transition, including dietary change and food waste, afforestation and energy crops, and low-emission farming practices. This historical perspective helps develop an understanding of how our food, farming and land use system has evolved to be the way that it is, and draws lessons for how the agri-food system could evolve further to support the transition to net zero and avoid catastrophic climate change.Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be essential reading to students and scholars of food, agriculture and the environment, as well as policymakers and professionals involved climate change policy and the agriculture and food industry.},

To achieve reliable verification of climate policy in a useful timeframe, additional work is required and VERIFY scientists have outlined some of the necessary approaches through reports, published literature and in responses to the survey conducted in this deliverable. While several steps have begun to be implemented, others could be in the near future. Some of the required steps are specific to an individual work package while others apply throughout. The body of this report summarises these approaches. Attention is often focussed upon methodological differences, including variation in input data, as well as the implementation of three main approaches: bottom-up (BU) process-based models; top-down (TD) inversions; and national greenhouse gas inventories (NGHGI). A clear finding of the report is that each of the approaches serve an important role and therefore uncertainty can be minimised by planning how best to combine each approach to achieve an optimal estimate. However, continued enhancement of communication and collaboration between scientific research communities and the inventory community will help to reduce uncertainty. In addition, there is a clear need for collection of better-quality data at higher spatial and temporal resolution (both in-situ and remotely sensed) and in areas that are not currently well covered. Tackling those gases and sectors with the highest uncertainty that can impact emissions at the national scale, should have the largest impact on reducing current uncertainty levels.},

It synthesises findings from more than 90 peer−reviewed scientific articles gathered using ScienceBrief. Warming of the surface ocean from anthropogenic (human-induced) climate change is likely fuelling more powerful TCs. The destructive power of individual TCs through flooding is amplified by rising sea level, which very likely has a substantial contribution at the global scale from anthropogenic climate change. In addition, TC precipitation rates are projected to increase due to enhanced atmospheric moisture associated with anthropogenic global warming. The proportion of severe TCs (category 3 & 5) has increased, possibly due to anthropogenic climate change. This proportion of very intense TCs (category 4 & 5) is projected to increase, yet most climate model studies project the total number of TCs each year to decrease or remain approximately the same. Additional changes such as increasing rates of rapid intensification, the poleward migration of the latitude of maximum intensity, and a slowing of the forward motion of TCs have been observed in places, and these may be climate change signals emerging from natural variability. While there are challenges in attributing these past observed changes to anthropogenic forcing, models project that with global warming in coming decades some regions will experience increases in rapid intensification, a poleward migration of the latitude of maximum intensity or a slowing of the forward motion of TCs.},

The average per-capita emissions of CO2 of the EU27 (6.6 t CO2 per capita per year) lies around 40% above the global average. The EU is a net importer of fossil CO2 emissions embodied in imported goods and services. Total consumption-based emissions in the EU27 were 3.7 Gt CO2 per year in this period, 15% above territorial emissions alone. The EU27 share of cumulative CO2 emissions since 1850 was 17% in 2018, substantially below its share in 1960 (27%). For the most recent period for which regional CH4 emissions estimates are available (2003-2012), European anthropogenic emissions of CH4 amounted to 24-25 Tg CH4 per year and represented 7% of global anthropogenic CH4 emissions. For the most recent period for which some regional N2O emissions estimates are available (2007-2016), European direct anthropogenic emissions of N2O amounted to 0.7 (0.4-1.0) Tg N per and represented 13% of global direct anthropogenic N2O emissions.In simple terms, the EU27 contributes significantly to the global emissions of anthropogenic CO2, CH4 and N2O. Emissions of CO2 from the EU27 have been falling since the 1980s. The EU27 contributions to annual emissions and cumulative emissions have also fallen since the 1960s, in part due reduced EU27 emissions and in part due to emissions growth in other nations. Nonetheless, the EU27 exports a significant fraction of its CO2 emissions to other nations and its per-capita emissions remain above the global average.An unprecedented 7% drop in emissions was estimates for 2020 as a consequence of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, which included policies to significantly restrict mobility in many countries. The estimate drop for EU27 is for a particularly large fall in emissions in 2020 (11%), partly because of the stringent and extensive confinement measures in place, and partly due to the large contribution of the transport sector to total emissions in Europe.The departure of the UK from the European Union impacts the contribution of the EU to global CO2 emissions.
