publisher = {Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland},
abstract = {The report provides a concise critical analysis of the Proposal for a Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence by the Commission from the standpoint of the least developed countries (LDCs). 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. There is a need to bring up issues that are crucial to boost the sustainable and equitable development of those countries, most prominently the fight against corruption and development of the rule of law.},

abstract = {China has traditionally been held up around the world as the archetype of centralised governance and a top-down system of public administration. 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.},

abstract = {This book examines the implications of the net zero transition for food and farming in the UK and how these can be managed to avoid catastrophic climate change in the crucial decades ahead.For the UK to meet its international obligations for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, nothing short of a revolution is required in our use of land, our farming practices and our diet. 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.},

series = {VERIFY Project (EU H2020)},
abstract = {The VERIFY project has identified and documented many ways to reduce the uncertainty of GHG flux estimates through the provision of new datasets and modelling methods. 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.},

The chapters that make up this book broaden, deepen, and problematize these thematic axes. Each chapter addresses and offers a rich panorama of how local peace processes are created. Focusing on the department of Tolima, this book aims to create a narrative against the dominant discourses of peace in Colombia and analyzes the various ways in which local communities have been constructing other conceptions and practices of peace. The journey demonstrates the need to recognize other ways of building peace beyond the official narratives and institutional arrangements focused on reincorporation, violence reduction, and victim reparations. The regional tensions analyzed here show that, despite the constraints imposed by violent actors and public policies, organizations and communities have been able to create multiple proposals that require establishing a dialogue among them, as well as with the academia, the media, activists, society, and the international community.society, and the international community.},

We live and feel connected as Monkoxi People because of our relationship to the forest. Today, we need our young people to take care of our home and feel connected to it, to our history, to our identity and to knowledge about the forest.The PhotoVoice project was a way to bring our young people closer to the forest, to the elders, to our stories. For four months, eight of our young people were trained in participatory photography and documented our culture, way of life and challenges. They are: Brenda Chuvirú García, Eliana Peña Chore, Gabi Irene Ipamo Ipi, Johan Pedriel Rodriguez Cesarí, Jorge Andres Guizada Palachay, Juan Said García Chuvirú, Mary Isabel García Parapaino and Victor Hugo García. Now they know their reality and identify with the home that is our territory. The photographers who were trained represent youth voices that document our wisdom and knowledge, making new intergenerational and intercultural dialogues possible.The youth of Lomerío are the present that is building our future and that of new generations. The priority of the Indigenous Organization of the Native Communities of Lomerío (CICOL) is to safeguard the harmonious development of our people. Young people are the ones chosen to build a better world.The PhotoVoice project was part of a larger project entitled “Indigenous International Interactions for Sustainable Development” (INDIS). INDIS was developed by the University of East Anglia in the U.K. and Nur University in Bolivia, with support from the National Geographic Society and the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Civil Peace Service programme. To conclude, I would like to thank all of the institutions and people that contributed to this process of reconnecting our young people to their territory.

Climate models have shown that recent marine heatwaves in all oceans have been longer and more intense than can be explained by natural variability alone. These changes have caused widespread impacts on marine species with changes in distribution, loss of biodiversity, collapse of foundation species including coral, kelp and seagrass and the ecosystems they support, and declines in fisheries and cultural values. Ongoing climate change will lead to additional increases in marine heatwave frequency and intensity, further threatening marine life and the ecosystem services they provide to human societies.},

Models suggest that climate change would act to reduce carbon sinks, leading to an additional increase in atmospheric CO2 of about 10 to 70 parts per million (ppm) per degree Celsius of global warming on decadal to century time scales. Additional carbon feedbacks from permafrost thawing and methane hydrates are uncertain but probably add no more than 30% above this range on century timescales. No runaway carbon-climate feedbacks are anticipated this century.},

By encompassing a variety of policy sub-sectors and theoretical angles, this collection provides a state-of-the-art perspective of EU energy and climate policy, as well as a fresh look into the challenges of European integration.In a context of multiple crises, EU Energy and Climate policy is often identified as one of the few areas still exhibiting strong integration dynamics. However, this domain is not exempt from contestation and re-nationalization pressures. This collection seeks to understand those contradictory integration and disintegration tendencies by problematizing the notion of authority: When, why and by whom is EU authority in Energy and Climate policy conferred and contested? What strategies are used to manage authority conflicts and to what effect? These questions are examined in some of the knottiest aspects of EU energy and climate policy, for example, the adoption of the landmark Governance of the Energy Union Regulation, the long-drawn-out attempts to complete the EU’s internal energy market, the struggle to achieve ambitious EU targets in renewable energy and energy efficiency beyond 2020, the blurring of economic and security instruments in external energy policy, or the heated discussions over the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of European Integration.},

abstract = {This ScienceBrief Review examines the link between climate change and tropical cyclones (TCs, including tropical storms, hurricanes, and typhoons). 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.},

abstract = {Biases and spread in the estimates of each term of the global carbon budget challenge the robust detection of a trend in their central estimates, and moreover inhibit the attribution of a trend in atmospheric CO2 to anthropogenic emissions. We outline the key sources of bias and spread in each term of the global carbon budget, highlight examples of progress made in recent years and opportunities for further progress in the coming decades. Overall, we suggest that the capacity to verify changes in atmospheric CO2 on sub-decadal timescales will require concerted effort to incrementally address biases and uncertainties across all components of the budget.},

abstract = {This book focuses on the gendered experiences of environmental change across different geographies and social contexts in South Asia and on diverse strategies of adapting to climate variability.The book analyzes how changes in rainfall patterns, floods, droughts, heatwaves and landslides affect those who are directly dependent on the agrarian economy. It examines the socio-economic pressures, including the increase in women’s work burdens both in production and reproduction on gender relations. It also examines coping mechanisms such as male migration and the formation of women’s collectives which create space for agency and change in rigid social relations. The volume looks at perspectives from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to present the nuances of gender relations across borders along with similarities and differences across geographical,socio-cultural and policy contexts.This book will be of interest to researchers and students of sociology, development, gender, economics, environmental studies and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for policymakers, NGOs and think tanks working in the areas of gender, climate change and development.},

Second report on EU contribution to the Global Budgets for CO2, CH4, and N2O updated annually Book

abstract = {The EU27 emitted 3.2 Gt of fossil CO2 per year in the period 2010-2019 and thus contributed 9% towards global fossil CO2 emissions. 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. EU27 emissions were 19% lower than in the former EU28 (EU27+UK) in the 1960s, 14% lower in the 1990s, 12% lower in the 2010s and 11% lower in 2019. The difference between EU27 and former EU28 emissions declined throughout the time series as the UK’s share of EU28 emissions fell.},
