Risk blindness in local perspectives about the Alberta oil sands hinders Canada's decarbonization

Phasing Out Fossil Fuels: Determinants of Production Cuts and Implications for an International Agreement

“…Finally, we found that climate vulnerability reduces the likelihood of constraint use, which may be explained by low development level, biased risk perceptions, and short-term policies (Stewart 2020;Virla et al 2021), or the need for fossil fuel revenues to finance adaptation or recovery from climaterelated disasters (Lyster 2015). Though ethically problematic, conditioning disaster-related assistance to joining a supply-constraint coalition could change the incentives of climate-vulnerable fossil fuel producers.…”

“…Countries that are more exposed and/or vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change should be more willing to constrain fossil fuel production than those that are less so (Lujala et al 2015;Virla et al 2021;Warren et al 2021). This provides the basis for our final hypothesis:…”

Sustainability, justice and equity in food systems: Ideas and proposals in dispute in Brazil

“…In sustainability transition studies, the role of narratives has mainly been investigated in energy transitions to support biorefineries (Bauer 2018), influencing actions by different actors in decentralized solar energy production (Rajagopalan and Breetz, 2022), or revealing the motivations of individuals to engage in electric vehicle transitions (Upham and Gathen, 2021). Virla et al (2021) investigated how narratives shape risk perception by different socioeconomic and socio-political actor groups about oil sand production in Canada. While these authors explicitly included indigenous and marginalized groups, they did not specifically consider justice, and none of these studies focused on food system-related questions.…”
