A macroeconomic perspective on climate change mitigation: Meeting the financing challenge

Research article by Alex Bowen, Emanuele Campiglio on 18 Mar 2014

Building on simulations using Integrated Assessment Models and historical evidence, this paper explores some of the issues posed by this dual financing challenge.

Research article by Antony Millner on 11 Mar 2014

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA.

Exploring mangrove social-ecological system dynamics in South-East Asia: linking livelihoods, vulnerability and ecosystem services in Vietnam

However, little is known about the precise impact of human activity on the ecosystem services underpinning these livelihoods. This […]
