Global benefits of the international diffusion of carbon pricing policies
AbstractCarbon pricing policies are essential for mitigating climate change, but the global benefits of leadership and the international diffusion of these policies are not...
Expansion of organic farming could reduce soil organic carbon stocks
The potential effect of globally expanding organic farming on cropland soil organic carbon stocks has been estimated using a modelling approach. The results reveal...
Soil organic carbon stocks potentially at risk of decline with organic farming expansion
AbstractOrganic farming is often considered a strategy that increases croplands’ soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. However, organic farms currently occupy only a small fraction...
Citizen-led planning increases climate change impact awareness and preparedness
Better adaptation methods are needed in the face of rapid climate change. A pilot process for inclusive adaptation planning reveals that empowering citizens to...
State of global land regulation inadequate to control biofuel land-use-change emissions
Under current land-use regulation, carbon dioxide emissions from biofuel production exceed those from fossil diesel combustion. Therefore, international agreements need to ensure the effective...
Experience exceeds awareness of anthropogenic climate change in Greenland
AbstractAlthough Greenland is a hub for climate science, the climate perceptions of Greenland’s predominantly Indigenous population have remained largely unstudied. Here we present two...
Innovation exceeds fear of climate change in Greenland
Greenland is central to climate research and research now shows that Greenlanders are far more aware of a rapidly changing Arctic climate than of...
Bioenergy-induced land-use-change emissions with sectorally fragmented policies
AbstractControlling bioenergy-induced land-use-change emissions is key to exploiting bioenergy for climate change mitigation. However, the effect of different land-use and energy sector policies on...
