“Making Climate Policy Work” (by Stanford University)
For decades, the world’s governments have struggled to move from talk to action on climate. Many now hope that growing public concern will lead to greater policy ambition, but the most widely promoted strategy to address the climate crisis – the use of market-based programs – hasn’t been working and isn’t ready to scale. In a new book “Making Climate Policy Work” Danny Cullenward and David Victor show how the politics of creating and maintaining market-based policies render them ineffective nearly everywhere they have been applied.
26 January, 14:00 – 15:30 CET
“Encountering Climate in Models and Materials” (by London School of Economics and Political Science)
In this seminar Dr Hannah Knox (Department of Anthropology, UCL) will present the main argument of her new book “Thinking like a Climate: Governing a City in Times of Environmental Change”. Based on ethnographic research that looked at attempts to bring climate science to bear on the governance of cities, the talk focuses on the experience of people living and working in Manchester, UK, and their encounters with the ambivalent materiality of climate models. To understand these encounters she suggests we need to develop an understanding of climate not as a representation of an existing reality but a ‘form of thought’ whose contours are relational, but yet tangible, and whose ramifications are still being worked out. Building on the argument of this book she points to the directions that this research is taking her in now, presenting some nascent ideas about how to continue research in climate-thinking and its world-transforming possibilities.
26 January, 15:30 – 17:00 CET

“Carbon-neutrality: How can the EU and China co-operate to lead global climate change efforts?” (by Euractiv)
As two high-ambition regions sharing a determination to live up to the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the EU and China are natural coalition partners. The EU wants to work closely with China to deploy a ‘climate diplomacy’ to share efforts with the rest of the world, especially with the biggest emitters. Together, they could exert strong pressure on other emitters to increase their ambitions, notably in Asia, a continent accounting for more than half of global emissions, but also in the Americas. It could turn 2021 into a successful year for climate action, culminating in COP-26 in November in Glasgow. Join this virtual conference to discuss how the EU and China can work together to drive the global fight against climate change. Register here and watch the event livestreamed here:
28 January, 12:00 – 13:00 CET
“Carbon Prices versus Regulatory Standards: Which are Better for Equity?” (by University of Oxford, Institute for New Economic Thinking)
Carbon pricing is the most efficient instrument to reduce emissions. However, the geographical and sectoral coverage of substantial carbon pricing is low, often due to concerns that pricing may increase economic inequality. Regulatory standards such as fuel economy standards are more popular. But do they have an equity advantage over carbon pricing? Register here.
28 January, 12:30 – 14:00 CET
“Least developed countries’ reflections of 2020: climate action, ambition and the path forward” (by International Institute for Environment and Development – IIED)
2020 was supposed to be a ‘super year’ for climate policy. Instead, the year was turned upside down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. High-level meetings and international conventions that were due to advance ambition and lead to climate commitments were postponed or adapted. At the same time, countries focused efforts on COVID-recovery, creating opportunities to enhance action for people, climate and nature. So, how did the world fare in terms of advancing climate action? Reflecting on 2020’s major diplomatic moments, this event will explore whether expectations were met for climate action, nationally determined contributions (NDCs), long-term strategies (LTS) and climate finance delivery.

“Lowering emissions by curtailing renewables in power systems” (by International Association for Energy Economics – IAEE)
To lower pollution, it became imperative to integrate as much renewable energies as possible in power systems. This has been translated into forcing the maximum production of variable renewable energy (VRE) – wind and solar – into power systems operation. The increasing operational costs to maximize the VRE output became the price to pay in order to lower pollution. However, it is a misconception that forcing VRE production always lowers pollution. The event’s speaker, Germán Morales-España, will present some examples illustrating that, apart from increasing costs, forcing VRE production can also increase pollution.
