Wealthy nations…committed, first in 2009 and again in 2015 under the Paris climate agreement, to a collective goal: $100 billion a year in grants, loans, private sector investments and more by 2020. More than a decade after the first pledge was made, nations have yet to meet their promis...
Countries thus prefer to free-ride on the emissions abatement (i.e., reduction of emissions) of others over reducing their own emissions8,9. The implied tragedy is that if countries pursue their own interests in this way, everyone will be worse off than if they had cooperated and acted in...
N.E.G. was supported by funding from grants NA06OAR4310120 and NA08OAR4310732 from the US National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) CCDD program. N.E.G. is also grateful to the PAGES program and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Research at the University of Bern for their...
lower per capita GDP, and better governance are more likely to be selected as recipients [32]. This selection is driven by the donors’ inclination to allocate mitigation funding towards countries that possess greater capacity for emissions reduction and deforestation control. It is worth noting ...
Each is a grant program that would be administered by state energy offices according to parameters set by the U.S. Department of Energy. States would have to apply for the grants, worth $8.8 billion total. Financial benefits for consumers would vary by their income level and energy sav...
Under all scenarios of MRI-ESM-2.0, the reduction of rainfall is expected to reach 0.1–15% (2040s) and 0.02–17% (2070s), respectively. Projection of climatic variables Figures 8 and 9 showed the variations in average climatic variables (tasmax, tasmin, and precipitation) of all ...
There has not yet been any action taken to address this issue, but if the trend continues some form of individual action – e.g., modification of private land – may be needed to generate the adaptation public good of flood risk reduction. Another example of the absence of the privately ...

(n = 1760) to examine the impact of partisan cues and fatalistic rhetoric on support for the climate provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. We find that Republicans and Independents exposed to Democratic Party cues expressed less support for the IRA. We also find that Independents ...
(Stokes2020). Even in liberal states without significant fossil fuel production, policy efforts often fail to meet their emission reduction targets (Basseches2019; Culhane et al.2021). While there has been a proliferation of research on state-level climate and energy policy since the mid-2000s...
