- Publication 26 September 2022 Linking Mitigation and Adaptation in Carbon Forestry Projects: Evidence from Belize Committed action to deal with climate change requires reducing greenhouse gas emissions, i.e., mitigation, as well as dealing with its ensuing consequences, i.e., adaptation. To date, most policies and projects have promoted mitigation and adaptation separately, and they have very rarely considered integrating these two objectives. In this article, we develop a multi-dimensional framework to explore the extent to which climate mitigation forestry projects bring adaptation concerns into their…

The long term energy and emission trajectory of India’s transport sector is assessed under…
- Publication 25 September 2022 Deep decarbonization of iron and steel industry in the age of global supply chain– issues and solutions Deep decarbonization of the global manufacturing sector is needed to achieve the climate targets under the Paris Agreement. As of September 2019, 77 countries have announced targets to be carbon neutral by 2050. However, in the age of globalization, countries are concerned that decarbonization leads to cost increases for industries, companies will move their production bases to countries with less strict energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission regulations. Such relocation of…
