“…Unfortunately, even protection measures may lead to conflicts and can impact human rights (Robinson and Shine 2018). An important example is forced relocation to make space for new constructions or enlargements of existing protection structures such as dikes.…”

“…The #FridaysForFuture movement is right that we need to listen better, but it is not the scientists we need to listen to most. Growing literature on climate justice (e.g., [11][12][13][14][15] and politics of international regime negotiations (e.g., [16][17][18] helps us understand what the implications of the science are for societal and policy action. If a global movement of motivated, intelligent, and resolute students can rise from a single voice to a chorus of 1.5 million in six months, it would do well to select a message that is coherent and supports its core objectiveslistening to science is not such a message.…”

The rhetorical limitations of the #FridaysForFuture movement Citation for published version: Evensen, D 2019, 'The rhetorical limitations of the #FridaysForFuture movement', Nature Climate Change, vol. 9, pp. 428-430. https://doi.The students striking for action on climate change admirably display civic engagement on a pressing issue. Nevertheless, their movement's message focuses far too heavily on the need to "listen to science", which is at most a point of departure for answering the ethical and political questions central to climate action.

“…It achieved this status in 2011 [4] and rea rmed it in 2015 for the Paris Agreement [5]. This has the potential to be a strong model for any emerging nation to follow as the pressure to go beyond simply reducing emissions and reach CN status is set to grow [6][7][8]. But at the same time nations and cities looking to achieve CN status must show how this can be set in strong economic policy.…”

Abstract Background: Bhutan has pledged to remain carbon neutral (CN) in perpetuity. Whether they can sustain this is questionable due to the country’s increasing economic growth (GDP) and commitment to gross national happiness (GNH) outcomes, both of which can lead to a rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The nexus between GHG, GNH and GDP is the essence of the sustainable development global project.Results: Through scenario modelling using the Long-range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model, the study finds that the carbon neutral declaration will derail between 2037 and 2050 without mitigation measures. By putting in place mitigation measures especially in the industry and transport, CN can be retained even under high growth pressure, which may cost just 2% of GDP. CN can be easily retained under low economic growth, but this could undermine GNH.Conclusions: The options to remain CN will require Bhutan to adopt more efficient technologies and electrify industry and transport under both low and high growth scenarios. The additional cost to the Bhutanese economy is feasible through low and high growth opportunities. The options are similar to those confronting emerging nations struggling with issues of climate commitments under economic growth pressures.
