Climate innovation systems can help us reframe international technology policy
2015
07-06
By
David Ockwell and Rob Byrne, ESRC STEPS Centre
Technology and innovation are vital for efforts to tackle climate change in developing countries. But there�s a problem: the system for transferring and developing technology via international climate policy doesn�t seem to work as well as it should. National Systems of Innovation provide an opportunity for a new framing.

Could bioenergy and carbon capture help reverse our emissions?
2015
07-06
By
Our Common Future
So far, the world is tracking along the highest carbon dioxide emissions scenarios envisaged by the IPCC. Energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies and nuclear need to be rapidly deployed in order to prevent us from us from levels of warming which may be in excess of 4�C by 2100. But there may come a time when we need to look at ways of actively hoovering up greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere in order to prevent the worst of climate change.

By
Our Common Future
Targeted technology policies can enhance the effectiveness of carbon pricing and thus be an important element of climate change mitigation. That�s the finding of an analysis of different policy mechanisms that are attempting to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Why gender matters for climate change
2015
07-02
By
Dr Virginie Le Masson
What does gender have to do with climate change? It�s a question I often hear when engaging with practitioners and policy-makers. To answer that question, I tend to avoid using the mainstream argument that women are more vulnerable to climate change than men.

Rescuing historical scientific data
2015
07-02
By
Elizabeth Griffin
Science depends on observations � not just their content but also on the way we collect them, record them, store them and share them. In the past 30 years, data have been �born digital� and thus much more amenable to efficient at data management, but what about all the data that were collected before the onset of the digital age?
