In 1995 IPCC could only report that the evidence suggests a “discernible human influence” on the climate. In its latest assessment, IPCC declared that the evidence was “unequivocal”. This essay explores how this happened. This essay first appeared ashttps://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environm...
Furthermore, we consider two future climate scenarios to project future LCA-based GHG emissions embodied in electricity, materials, and services: a baseline scenario in line with the Paris Agreement objectives (i.e., SSP 2-RCP 2.6), aiming at a global temperature increase well below 2 °C ...
At present, many studies have used social survey methods to explore UK water citizens’ perceptions of the water sector’s water services, but th
(Candel et al., 2023). This pattern is also reflected in the scientific literature on adaptation which has also grossly understudied military and defence related topics: the recent 3000 + page IPCC AR6 WG2 report only mentions to the word ‘military’ ten times, mostly related to conflict ...

or structures to mitigate damage or exploit opportunities (Ipcc.ch,2024). Thus, with the focus on IK, climate change adaptation involves adjusting to the physical environment or human systems in response to potential or anticipated climatic shocks and their impacts (Jiri et al.2016; Kom et al....
(IPCC2021). Therefore, in the context of the bigger existential challenge presented by the climate crisis, the COVID-19 crisis could be seen as an opportunity to reset and radically change education in order to heal our relationship with the natural world. As Quay et al. (2020) warn, ...
The contrast is striking. While climate science is sending out loud-and-clear messages that fossil-fuel disinvestment must start now, letting go of coal and oil and diverting resources into renewable energy technology systems, to keep warming below the 2 °C limit (IPCC2014), mainstream climate...
