Unpacking climate policy
As temperatures and evidence of climate impacts mount, so too do pressures to enhance climate policy ambition and implementation.
What's the Best Way to Tackle Climate Change? An 'Evidence Bank' Could Help Scientists Find Answers
Liberals and conservatives differ on climate change beliefs, but are relatively united in taking action
Liberals and conservatives differ on climate change beliefs, but are relatively united in taking action
The division between liberals and conservatives on both climate-change beliefs and related policy support is long-standing. However, the results of a newly released global experiment show that despite these differences, the two camps actually align when it comes to taking certain actions to combat climate change.

Understanding the science-policy interface in urban climate governance from a co-production perspective: Insights from the cases of Hamburg and São Paulo
Understanding the science-policy interface in urban climate governance from a co-production perspective: Insights from the cases of Hamburg and São Paulo
Urban governance, the interplay of governmental bodies with other actors shaping decision-making and its implementation, plays a key role for mitigation and adaptation measures in cities. While knowledge co-production is advanced as an instrumental approach to support climate action, a gap between knowledge and implementation persists.
