SUMMARY:Estimating the impact of company car policies on mileage and CO2 emissions in Germany
DESCRIPTION:The German tax treatment of private use of company cars as a flat-rate non-cash benefit (so-called 1% rule) stimulates additional travel and CO2 emissions. Previous research shows that the annual mileage of company cars is twice that of private cars. However\, because employees who receive company cars are fundamentally different in terms of their preferences\, socio-demographic characteristics\, and travel needs\, the causal effect of receiving company car fuel allowances on private car use remains unknown. From a policy perspective\, this is critical to assessing the climate benefits of revising or eliminating the company car tax benefit. In this study\, we use double machine learning to estimate the individual treatment effects of fuel allowances on mileage and related CO2 emissions by accounting for self-selection and work-related travel needs. We examine the moderating effects of socio-demographics\, commuting distance\, and vehicle type and discuss the climate policy implications of insensitivity to changes in fuel costs and carbon prices. To underscore the relevance for climate change mitigation\, we estimate the total CO2 reduction potential of eliminating flat-rate non-cash benefits for internal combustion engine vehicles in Germany. In light of recent federal budget constraints\, adjusting company car taxation represents a revenue-generating\, progressive climate policy measure to catch up on the stagnating decarbonization of the German transport sector.

SUMMARY:Lessons learned from randomized controlled experiments for energy and climate
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 10 years\, we have run over 10 large-scale field experiments with randomized counterfactuals focused on climate and energy. We have tested a variety of behavioral interventions to promote energy conservation\, load shifting\, and green technology adoption. High-frequency energy metering has allowed us to evaluate the impacts of these interventions at a high level of granularity and detail.\nIn this talk\, we plan to report on the lessons learned accumulated over the years. We discuss issues related to internal and external validity of the main findings\, summarize the main results in terms of effectiveness in reducing energy and CO2 emissions\, and most important heterogeneous effects.\nWe highlight the challenges and opportunities of using large-scale experimental methods in combination with big data and with alternative elicitation processes. We highlight the challenges and opportunities of using large-scale experimental methods in combination with big data and with alternative elicitation processes\, such as surveys or labs-in-the-field.\nWe conclude with a research process to make experimental methods more relevant in future IPCC assessments.

SUMMARY:'Moments of change' and low-carbon behaviours: A multidisciplinary\, systematic review
DESCRIPTION:Behaviour change is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit climate change. Over the last two decades\, there has been considerable interest in particular instances when people’s habits and routines become more amenable to change. These instances are referred to as ‘moments of change’ (MoCs). The recent and rapid increase in research in this area calls for a systematic review of the topic. We draw upon evidence from 132 articles\, identified through Scopus and Web of Science\, on the effects of biographical (e.g.\, relocation) and exogenous (e.g.\, financial crises) life events on climate change mitigation behaviours (e.g.\, mobility). Most of the research is concentrated on the Global North\, (UK\, USA\, Germany\, etc.) and often there are confounding factors within studies’ designs and methodologies. There are mixed results in terms of support for behaviour change during MoCs. Frequently\, if there is evidence of behaviour changes\, they are dependent on contextual (e.g.\, physical infrastructure)\, demographic\, social\, and economic factors. Articles focus more on biographical MoCs (particularly relocation) than exogenous MoCs\, and on consumption behaviours (particularly mobility)\, rather than on social or political behaviours\, such as activism. Few of the papers explicitly test theories or models; the ones which do mostly concentrate on the habit discontinuity hypothesis. Future research could focus on investigating more granular details of MoCs (e.g.\, habits\, planning\, timing) and how interventions might be better targeted to capitalise on MoCs. This review highlights the importance of considering when\, as well as how\, to foster low-carbon behaviour change.

SUMMARY:The Implications of Behavioural Science for Effective Climate Policy
DESCRIPTION:The UK committed to achieve legally binding Net Zero targets by 2050\, which requires significant behaviour changes of consumers\, business leaders\, and others across all sectors. This literature review\, commissioned by the UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) [1]\, synthesises key findings and implications of behavioural science for effective climate policy in eight main sectors: diet change\, reducing end-user consumption\, aviation\, adaptation\, Net Zero skills and careers\, business leaders and the transition to sustainability\, land use and farming\, and policy acceptability.\nWe used Scopus to find relevant academic literature and issued a call for evidence to experts and stakeholders in the environmental field for further input. Additionally\, we used Google searches for relevant grey literature. In total\, we found 398 sources and synthesised key findings from important review papers\, supported by relevant studies and reports when reviews were not available or recent enough. The initial findings were discussed at a roundtable with invited experts to inform final policy recommendations.\nThe review revealed that behaviour change towards low-carbon or climate-resilient actions is influenced by individual factors (knowledge\, values)\, social factors (norms\, group identity)\, and practical factors (functionality\, ease\, price). We found that ‘midstream’ and ‘upstream’ interventions – focusing on making behaviour easier and shifting social norms\, respectively – prove more effective than ‘downstream’ approaches\, which focus on individuals’ motivation.\nKey takeaways for using behavioural science in climate policy include prioritising impactful and feasible behavioural targets\, tailoring interventions using theoretical models\, combining downstream and upstream approaches\, tailoring to diverse populations\, timing interventions strategically\, engaging the public\, and improving evidence and policy evaluation. We will discuss the specific recommendations for the eight sectors and implications for climate policy more generally. \n[1]: Disclaimer: These are CAST research findings and recommendations and are not CCC or CCC endorsed recommendations.

SUMMARY:Closing the gap between research and projects in climate change innovation in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Innovation is a key component to equip our society with tools to adapt to new climatic conditions. The alignment of scientific research and innovation support shifts useful ideas into operationalized knowledge allowing innovation to flourish. In this paper we quantify the existing gap between climate research and innovation funding in Europe using a novel framework that combines artificial intelligence (AI) methods and network science. We compute the distance between key topics of research interest from peer review publications and core issues tackled by innovation projects funded by the most recent European framework programmes. Our findings reveal significant differences exist between and within the two layers. Economic incentives\, agricultural and industrial processes are differently connected to adaptation and mitigation priorities. We also find a loose research-action connection in bioproducts\, biotechnologies and risk assessment practices\, where applications are still too few compared to the research insights. Our analysis supports policymakers to measure and track how research results shape future innovation funding\, and to adjust decisions if stated priorities are not achieved.

SUMMARY:From case studies to climate action plans: an assessment of the efficacy and integrity of subnational climate action
DESCRIPTION:Momentum is building in non-state climate action\, evidenced by the increasing number of climate pledges from cities\, states\, and regions around the world. Subnational governments can play a pivotal role in global efforts to avoid the worst impacts of climate change and limit warming to 1.5°C or below\, yet the integrity of their commitments and plans remains uncertain. We address these critical questions through two related studies focused on understanding the efficacy of subnational climate action: a meta-analysis of mitigation case studies and a qualitative assessment of city climate action plans. \nBased on a prior systematic literature review and synthesis of 234 subnational climate change mitigation case studies from peer-reviewed literature to understand the effectiveness and reliability of various subnational mitigation strategies and policy instruments\, we found that there are substantial differences in the size and certainty of expected impacts from different mitigation strategies. A wide range of mitigation strategies are used in cities and regions\, and misalignment exists between the strategies with the highest expected impacts and those that are most frequently implemented by policymakers. \nThis disconnect motivates the need for further research to understand subnational governments’ choices over mitigation strategies and the implications of these choices for the credibility of subnational climate action. Here\, we introduce a framework for evaluating the transparency and integrity of city climate pledges and plans and present initial findings for Global North cities. This analysis will enable us to identify best-practice strategies for cities\, highlight areas of weakness\, and assess interactions between mitigation and other climate goals. Together\, these studies provide the groundwork for more systematic\, quantitative evaluations of integrity in subnational climate action and contribute to the ongoing discussion of the role of subnational governments in achieving global climate goals.

SUMMARY:Integrity of corporate net zero pledges: Analysis of major food and beverages companies
DESCRIPTION:Food and beverage companies have a crucial role to play in cutting global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study analyses net-zero and interim emission reduction targets of the world’s 20 largest food and beverage companies by revenue\, which collectively account for more than 1 GtCO2e of direct and indirect emissions annually in the context of recent developments in corporate climate integrity and target setting criteria. \n17 of the 20 companies have a net zero target or its equivalent. By contrast\, many companies lack short-term targets before 2030; they focus disproportionately on longer term\, net-zero emission target-setting rather than on short- and medium-term targets\, indicating that these companies are avoiding immediate actions to reduce emissions. Most of these short-term targets also did not cover Scope 3 emissions\, which comprised 93% of the companies’ total GHG emissions. Most of the companies are also not explicit whether they intend to rely on carbon dioxide removal (CDR) within or outside their value chains to realise net-zero or interim targets\, and very few companies specify to what extent. The effectiveness the nature-based solutions the companies describe for achieving their emission reduction targets is highly uncertain and carries risk of non-permanency and reversibility. Because of these reasons\, we were not able to make robust estimates of companies’ targeted value chain emission reduction trajectories. \nOverall\, only a minority of the assessed companies have targets that are relatively in line with international corporate climate action integrity standards. There is a need for significant improvements in upstream emissions reporting\, particularly under purchased goods and services and associated land-use change emissions. Strong improvements are also required in interim target setting in terms of frequency and enhanced transparency on scope and GHG coverage\, as well as the use of offsets or insets in meeting climate targets.

SUMMARY:The contribution of voluntary corporate commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the context of EU-mandated policy instruments
DESCRIPTION:Companies in the European Union are subject to regulation through both the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR). In addition\, they commit to voluntary climate targets. In this way\, they not only support domestic mitigation\, but also demonstrate social responsibility\, address potential cost increases\, and mitigate risks. Gaining a better understanding of the interaction between government-led climate policies and voluntary corporate commitments could provide valuable insights into the progress and ambitions of companies. This assessment helps determine whether their goals are in line with EU policies and the Paris Agreement. \nTo explore this\, we assessed the 2030 emissions reduction targets of EU companies with approved targets by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for the year 2020 and compared them with those outlined in ETS and ESR. Initially\, the interaction between the two EU policies and voluntary targets was examined\, and subsequently emissions pathways were developed with and without voluntary targets to evaluate potential ambition. Our findings indicate\, that voluntary targets could contribute between 4-14% relative to the 2020 EU policies scenario. However\, the outcome heavily relies on the realisation of ETS reductions\, which currently function as a “waterbed”\, absorbing additional emissions reductions from companies that can be traded to others. To implement this effectively\, a separate fund safeguarding future emissions would need to be established. Furthermore\, the results suggest that\, in total\, these corporate reductions are at most in line with or marginally more ambitious than a 2 °C pathway by 2030.

SUMMARY:Supporting the Paris Agreement through international cooperation: Potential contributions\, institutional robustness and progress of Glasgow climate initiatives
DESCRIPTION:Many sector-level cooperative initiatives involving both national governments and non-state actors were launched around the 2021 Glasgow climate conference (COP26). However\, there have been questions about whether and to what extent these initiatives could substantially contribute to achieving the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C. To this end\, this paper examines the prospects of the 14 Glasgow sector initiatives by investigating their aggregate mitigation ambition under current national signatories and the institutional robustness of each initiative. We find that the additional emission reduction ambition of the current national government signatories would\, even if fully implemented\, only fill less than one-third of the ‘emission gap’ in 2030 between the aggregate of existing national targets (nationally determined contributions: NDCs) and the required emission levels consistent with keeping warming below 1.5°C\, while the institutional robustness varied considerably across initiatives. We also found that most national government signatories did not mention Glasgow initiatives in their updated NDCs submitted after COP26. Expansion of the national government signatories\, incorporation of the initiatives’ goals into the national government signatories’ updated NDCs by setting quantifiable domestic targets\, and enhanced institutional capacity are key to successful emission reduction outcomes. We will also discuss the findings in the context of COP28 in Dubai\, where a large number of sector-focused initiatives and declarations were announced.

SUMMARY:The Migration Intersections Grid (MIG): An organizing framework for migration research in and through the 21st century
DESCRIPTION:Invited and prepared for the upcoming special issue honoring the 60th anniversary of the International Migration Review\, we use this paper to develop and provide a comprehensive organizing framework to inform and guide migration research in and through the remainder of the 21st century. We start by inventorying and examining efforts to summarize and synthesize directions of travel in migration research over the years\, decades\, and beyond via six types of primary vehicles. From these summaries and syntheses\, we then identify and describe ten components that constitute our proposed organizing framework for migration research\, which we call the Migration Intersections Grid (MIG). A key hallmark of the MIG is the need to simultaneously consider these ten components and their intersections to ensure that migration research—including not just what is researched\, but also how and why—in and through the 21st century is inclusive\, rigorous\, and impactful.

SUMMARY:Climate-Smart Interventions in Humanitarian Contexts: A Scoping Review and Evidence Gap Map
DESCRIPTION:The Evidence to Action (E2A) team at the International Rescue Committee (IRC) seeks to strengthen humanitarian response to the climate crisis through the provision of evidence and practical guidance on promising climate smart interventions and approaches. As a part of this project\, we are developing a scoping review and an evidence gap map (EGM). The scoping review will identify interventions spanning across Health\, Water and Sanitation\, Protection\, Livelihoods/Cash\, and Education. It will also have a cross-sectoral focus on Risk Preparedness & Planning\, Systems & Capacity Strengthening. It will assess which approaches are promising or well-established; identifying climate markers and potential for transformative impact. The evidence gap map (EGM) will speak to the volume and strength of the evidence as well as highlight gaps in the evidence base. We will also develop cell-wise summaries (hosted within the EGMs) to unpack information regarding intervention effectiveness\, cost-efficiency and delivery appropriateness.\nWe would like to present the findings of our scoping review and share a draft of the EGM framework. We see this as an opportune moment – given the gathering of an expert audience in both climate change and evidence synthesis – to share insights from our work and obtain valuable inputs.

SUMMARY:Climate Mitigation & Adaptation: Lessons from UNICEF’s Horn of Africa Drought Emergency Response 
DESCRIPTION:BACKGROUND: The Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes that global prosperity and wellbeing will ultimately depend on how we fulfil our obligation to protect the world’s children. Today\, more than 3 out of 4 United Nations humanitarian appeals involve extreme weather events\, an increase from just over one third back in 2001. With its new Sustainability & Climate Change Action Plan (2023)\, UNICEF commits itself to working with partners towards protecting the most vulnerable children from the effects of climate change and to more systematically measure the outcomes of its climate-resilient programming. \nRESEARCH OBJECTIVES & METHODOLOGY: The Horn of Africa is one of the driest geographies in the world and the 2022-23 drought has been especially devastating. In 2022\, UNICEF launched a L3/L2 drought emergency response covering 5 countries\, Ethiopia\, Kenya\, Somalia\, Djibouti and Eritrea. In 2023/24\, the UNICEF Evaluation Office conducted a mixed-method review of UNICEF’s work on climate change mitigation and adaptation as part of its mandated evaluation of the response. The research involved the review of 100+ documents\, analysis of results data and financial analysis\, 40 key informant interviews and field visits to 7 project intervention areas. \nCONCLUSIONS: The review found substantial evidence that UNICEF had increased climate resilience and reduced the environmental footprint of its response by (a) transitioning from water trucking to durable\, climate resilient strategic borewells and switching from generators to sustainable solar power\, and (b) comprehensively assessing climate risks and adopting a multi-step methodology to target areas with the greatest needs. The durable solutions approach strengthened community resiliency and contributed to breaking the cycle of displacement. Key innovations include technology solutions around climate-resilient water supply. The financial analysis made a compelling case for funding durable solutions. However\, some water trucking also continued\, and there were data gaps especially around sustainability.

SUMMARY:UNICEF Interventions to address a Climate Emergency - What Works
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives\, to defend their rights\, and to help them fulfil their potential\, from early childhood through adolescence. Increasingly UNICEF is working to address the impact of the climate emergency which threatens all children. UNICEF actively evaluates its programmes in order to identify what works and how to improve the impact of its interventions. \nObjectives and Methods: In partnership with Newcastle University\, 631 UNICEF evaluations were synthesised\, and this included a focus on those programmes addressing climate emergencies. \nResults: The review identified 20 programmes that addressed climate change\, and its impact. In all cases\, the programmes aimed to support adaptations to respond to the consequences of climate change. The range of interventions included seeking to build safe and resilient water\, sanitation and hygiene systems\, for example\, developing infrastructures to protect from drought and flooding. They also included working closely with national and local governments to develop research and build business cases relating to green growth\, and protect vulnerable communities. The review highlighted that children are overlooked in key regional\, national\, climate and energy related strategies\, policies and legislation. UNICEF is actively seeking to provide educational interventions\, so children become central to climate policy.

SUMMARY:Semiparametric Estimation of European Climate Policy Effects (EU ETS)
DESCRIPTION:The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has become the cornerstone of the European Union’s strategy to decarbonize the economy and mitigate climate\nchange. Following these objectives\, the aim of this paper is to assess the impact of the price of carbon\, which is linked to the European market of allowances\, on carbon dioxide emissions. To do so\, we propose an econometric model that extends the\nEnvironmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model in several directions. First\, the price of carbon\, which is the policy variable\, is introduced in the model in a nonparametric\nfashion; Second\, we propose to use an interactive fixed effects approach to control for latent heterogeneities in both dimensions of panel data; Third\, to allow for spatial dependence\, we introduced spatially correlated errors. The extended EKC model poses various challenges for estimation. To cope with them\, using a profile likelihood approach\,\nwe propose a Feasible Generalized Least Squares estimator of the parameters of interest. Furthermore\, the policy effects curve is also efficiently estimated. The asymptotic properties of the estimators are shown and\, based on these outcomes\, we\nempirically evaluate the policy effects. Our approach yields significantly different and more meaningful results compared to those obtained using standard estimation techniques.

SUMMARY:The Experimental Approach to Net Zero Policies
DESCRIPTION:The upcoming climate-critical decade will determine whether we progress sufficiently toward a net-zero economy to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees. Climate innovation\, alongside major behavioral change\, is critical for success\, as around 35 percent of the technologies necessary for net zero are not yet developed and/or deployed1. However\, despite having the most ambitious decarbonization agenda\, Europe still needs to create a culture and practice of evidence-based policy- and decision-making\, which is already emerging in the US2\,3. In the light of the billion euros being spent on green deal policies\, we urgently require better evidence on what energy innovation policy instruments are most effective4. To do so\, the continent should apply the scientific method to its net zero science policy\, which the US does with the Evidence-Based Policymaking Act. Specifically\, it should leverage experimental methods such as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as sources of evidence to inform climate policies5. So far\, they are almost exclusively conducted in the field of development policies; where they received the Nobel prize for alleviating global poverty. Increasingly\, they have been used to make innovation policies more evidence-based6. We argue that their deployment for creating more evidence-based climate and green innovation policies is promising to maximize their effectiveness per Euro spent7. The method is often considered a gold standard of impact evaluation as it enables understanding of the causal effects of policies with a high level of confidence. Ideally\, they could help identify what works well – and what does not – in greening growth policies7. So far\, their potential is underexplored in the field of climate policies8\, especially covering firms9\, but also with regards to behavioral aspects of reducing carbon emissions10. The potential return on investment of such a paradigm shift is estimated to range between 21 and 37 percent11.

SUMMARY:The Economic Impacts of Carbon Taxes in the Developing World: Evidence from South Africa
DESCRIPTION:The use of carbon taxes to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is gaining increasing attention\, both in developed and developing economies. However\, policymakers\, particularly those from developing countries\, still lack rigorous empirical evidence on various issues related to the effects of carbon taxes. Despite strong opposition from the industry\, South Africa was the first country on the African continent to introduce a carbon tax in 2019. Using detailed tax administrative data on the universe of South African firms\, we are the first to provide empirical evidence on the economic\, environmental and distributional consequences of the introduction of the carbon tax in 2019. Empirically\, we rely on a matched difference-in-difference approach\, where we compare economic outcomes of carbon tax firms with non-carbon tax firms over time. Preliminary results suggest that on average\, the introduction of the carbon tax did not impose any substantial costs on the economy. However\, we do find some sectoral heterogeneity in the effects.

SUMMARY:European carbon pricing in boom and bust times
DESCRIPTION:In this study\, we explore the relationship between European carbon prices\, energy prices and the macroeconomy in boom and bust times. Utilizing a smooth transition structural VAR model\, we analyze monthly data spanning from 2006 to 2023. Our model benefits from identification through non-Gaussianity and the correlation with external carbon and energy shock series. Notably\, our analysis reveals heterogeneous effects observed across two distinct regimes of economic activity and when considering the cost pass-through to the transport sector specifically. Furthermore\, our findings support that crises affect carbon prices\, but challenge the notion of a strengthened linkage between carbon prices and economic performance in recent periods. Linking carbon price dynamics to the business cycle allows to discuss the role of a flexible emission cap in enhancing the effectiveness of carbon pricing across various economic conditions. This is particularly relevant for the recent extensions of the EU ETS to sectors like road transportation.

SUMMARY:Does Free Public Transport Reduce Carbon Emissions? Causal Evidence from Luxembourg
DESCRIPTION:In March 2020\, Luxembourg became the first country in the world to offer free public transport across all modes of transport. We leverage this unique quasi-experimental setting to evaluate whether Luxembourg’s free public transport policy has induced a shift\nfrom private motorized transport to free public transport. To assess this shift we measure the reduction in carbon emissions from road transport as an indicator of reduced dependence on private motorized vehicles. We use spatial panel data from the European Emission Database on Global Atmospheric Research and utilize the recently proposed\nSynthetic Difference-in-Differences method that combines the advantages of the canonical Difference-in-Difference and Synthetic Control approaches. The study estimates a 6.5% reduction in road transport emissions as a result of the policy\, indicating a significant\nmodal shift from private vehicles to public transport. We carefully consider Luxembourg’s distinctive characteristics and account for the concurrent COVID-19 pandemic to address potential challenges associated with identification and control measures. In particular\, we control for confounding factors such as the COVID-related restrictions\,\nthe carbon taxation policies\, and changes in working-from-home. Event study analyses and robustness checks indicate the overall reliability of our results.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Poverty Solutions: Mapping the integration of social protection policies and climate in LMICs 
DESCRIPTION:Social protection programs offer an important policy instrument to manage the poverty\, inequality\, and other social impacts of climate change. A large literature anecdotally documents the roles that cash transfers\, public employment\, and other social assistance and labor programs have played in managing both physical and transition risks arising from climate change (Costella et al.\, 2023). However\, despite increasing policy interest\, efforts to systematically track and assess these programs are limited. Understanding the extent to which government-led social protection programs integrate climate considerations\, how they do so\, and whether they have been successful is crucial to inform evidence-based expansion of climate-resilient social protection in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). \nOur research maps the current integration of climate considerations in social protection programs in LMICs. We estimate the number of program and their share of the global portfolio in terms of coverage and funding. We also identify program features and climate resilience outcomes of such programs\, and\, when evaluations exist\, we assess the extent to which programs’ climate-related outcomes match their intended or potential objectives. \nBecause climate features of social protection programs are not tracked in existing repositories\, our research first reviewed almost four hundred academic and grey literature documents to map relevant programs. We identified over a hundred such programs\, and\, for each\, we conducted a detailed\, qualitative analysis of climate-related program features and outcomes based on official program documents. We then quantitatively analyzed the entire dataset including connections across program types\, geographies\, features\, and outcomes. Findings from the full analysis will be available in March 2024 and a dataset of programs will also be made available when the research is finalized. Initial findings highlight the importance of explicit climate considerations in program design for climate-resilient social protection to become a more relevant climate policy instrument in LMICs.

SUMMARY:The Social\, Economic\, and Political Trade-offs of Climate Change Adaptation in Uganda: Towards building resilient communities
DESCRIPTION:Worldwide and Uganda in particular\, climate change continues pose significant challenges to communities. The changing climate\, characterized by erratic rainfall patterns\, prolonged droughts\, land degradation\, and extreme weather events have adversely affected agriculture\, water resources management\, public health\, and infrastructure development. To address these challenges\, various initiatives have been implemented by state actors\, non-state actors\, and local farmers in Uganda. Drawing on a mixed methods study involving over 1500 respondents\, my presentation will examine the social\, economic\, and political trade-offs of climate change adaptation in Uganda. The findings show that while some individuals possess knowledge of adaptive practices through traditional wisdom or local innovations\, others lack access to information or resources necessary for effective adaptation measures. This creates disparities in adaptive capacities among different groups. Gender dynamics and socioeconomic disparities also play a role in exacerbating social inequalities during the adaptation process. Economically disadvantaged smallholder farmers who rely heavily on rain-fed agriculture struggle to invest in technologies that could enhance their adaptive capacities due to financial constraints. Balancing short-term livelihood needs with long-term investments becomes a complex trade-off that policymakers must address. The political dimension of climate change adaptation explores the governance structures required for effective planning and implementation. Coordinated efforts among multiple stakeholders including government agencies at national and local levels as well as civil society organizations are crucial for successful adaptation. However\, “”policy implementation gaps”” often hinder progress due to limited institutional capacity or conflicting priorities across sectors.\nThe presentation emphasizes the importance of integrated approaches that consider the interlinkages between social equity (including gender dynamics)\, economic realities (such as financial constraints)\, and political frameworks in climate change adaptation strategies. Understanding these complexities can help policymakers and practitioners develop more robust approaches that maximize benefits while minimizing negative consequences.

SUMMARY:How do savings groups influence resilience? Evidence from Nigeria
DESCRIPTION:Women’s savings group programs are increasingly seen as an important strategy for advancing women’s economic empowerment and may have the potential to increase the resiliency of members and their communities to covariate shocks\, such as climate change. While various studies have examined how savings groups have mitigated the effects of shocks\, empirical evidence on resilience remains thin\, however. This study examines how women’s savings groups in Nigeria could influence resilience by leveraging a quasi-experimental study of a government-implemented savings group program in Nigeria. The study combines longitudinal data of over 6\,000 surveys with women and their husbands with surveys of over 1\,200 women’s savings groups in six states in Nigeria. We combine these longitudinal data with a survey examining perceptions of climate change among the same households and panel data of an adaptation of a resilience index developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (Resilience Index Measurement and Analysis). We first examine whether the resilience index predicts coping behavior followed by a difference-in-difference analysis to assess the impact of women’s savings groups on resilience. Next\, we assess the pathways of change by linking the impacts on resilience to impacts on women’s decision-making power\, asset ownership\, and income and household-level consumption\, and agricultural productivity. We also assess how climate change perceptions and exposure to droughts and floods moderated the impact of women’s savings groups on resilience. We will have results at the time of the conference.\nThe presentation will include the findings as well as a presentation by the World Bank about their evidence needs related to climate change and resilience. The World Bank will discuss how they plan to use the findings in the contexts of savings group programming in close consultation with the government of Nigeria.

SUMMARY:Anticipatory cash transfers in the context of weather disasters: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial
DESCRIPTION:Anticipatory humanitarian assistance is a novel approach to aid in the context of weather disasters\, drawing on meteorological forecasts to predict risk. Using a randomized study design\, we analyze the impact of anticipatory cash transfers distributed to pastoralist households in Mongolia during an extreme winter event. We do not find overall effects on livestock assets\, income\, investments\, or consumption across the study population. No heterogenous effects are found for different levels of disaster intensity. However\, there is robust evidence that cash transfers benefited households with lower pre-treatment wealth. The paper concludes by highlighting practical challenges in evaluating (anticipatory) humanitarian interventions.

SUMMARY:The Complications and Consequences of a Managed Retreat Law
DESCRIPTION:Managed retreat\, the relocation of households out of harm’s way\, was tried in New Zealand on an unusually large scale after the 2011 Christchurch earthquake\, shifting almost 20\,000 people in a well-compensated program of managed retreat. This presentation will focus on the empirical evidence about the economic and mental-health effects of this managed retreat on the relocated population. It will then explore the implications of these effects for the design of a Managed Retreat Law in New Zealand in the context of increasing risk because of climate change.

SUMMARY:Geospatial Impact Evaluation of Agricultural Intensification Program in Niger
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is exacerbating food insecurity around the world\, particularly in drought-prone areas that are already highly vulnerable\, such as the Sahel region of West Africa. To improve food security and resilience\, the government of Niger\, with funding from the West African Development Bank (BOAD)\, implemented a multi-faceted agricultural production intensification program in 2011 (PIPA/SA). We employ geospatial data (spectral indices from Landsat-7 imagery) and a synthetic difference-in-differences (SDID) design to measure the impact of this program (irrigation and land rehabilitation efforts) on agricultural production\, water availability\, siltation\, and desertification (using proxies for “level of greenness” such as NDVI\, SAVI\, etc.). Determining the impact of this program will inform the Government of Niger’s future policy and programming related to climate change mitigation/adaptation and food intensification\, with implications for human health\, nutrition\, livelihoods\, and economic development more broadly. \nThis project contributes to the evidence base on climate and nutrition interventions\, and provides more evidence on the benefits and application of geospatial/remote sensing data in climate-related impact evaluation.

SUMMARY:Urban form features determine spatio-temporal variation of ambient temperature: Assessing the transferability of land Use classes effect across diverse Urban Contexts
DESCRIPTION:Driven by ongoing urbanization and accelerated global warming\, urban heat stress develops into a major threat for a large part of the world population. While the literature is clear about the relevance of urban form in modifying urban heat\, the spatially explicit context of heat modifications by the built environment is insufficiently explored across cities. Here we develop a consistent methodology based on a machine learning model to determine the predictive features of urban form that shape urban ambient temperature (AT) under different urban and climate conditions. For this\, we combine urban climate data at 100 m resolution from the UrbClim model with urban form features computed from different open datasets. We exemplify our innovation by evaluating summer daytime and nighttime temperature variation within three European cities that are representative of distinct geographies and climates: Berlin\, Zürich\, and Sevilla. Mean AT at dense urban spots was higher by 3 ◦C (on average) during summer\ncompared to sub-urban sites across all cities. We find that urban form features explain around 2/3 of within-city temperature variations. Vegetation cover and water bodies are most significant in explaining spatial temperature patterns during the daytime\, while the impervious land cover is most critical at nighttime. Cooling effect of water areas can accumulate to – 1.5 ◦C\, while heating effects of roads can induce +0.5 ◦C during daytime. The magnitude of effects varies across cities\, primarily based on the climate type\, altitude\, and dominant land-cover. However\, further testing should be conducted to develop a better understanding of impact variations. The findings of this research will provide urban planners and policymakers with crucial insights towards heat mitigation and sustainable urban developments through region-tailored modifications and replacement of land-cover.

SUMMARY:Current challenges in agricultural intensification and land use change in Latin America: land sparing\, land sharing\, rebound effect\, and leakage.
DESCRIPTION:Humanity faces a double threat: burgeoning food demand from a growing population and ecological degradation fueled by agricultural expansion. Crop production can be increased through cropland expansion (more land)\, and crop intensification (producing more per unit of cropland). Embracing sustainable intensification on existing agricultural land rather than the unsustainable quest for ever-greater acreage has been proposed. This approach is known as land-sparing. Nevertheless\, there is a risk that land sparing can lead to a rebound effect where increased yields lead to increased demand for agricultural products\, which in turn drives further expansion of cropland. In addition to these challenges\, there is also the risk of leakage\, where land use change in an area is caused by land use change in another area. This can happen when global markets allow for the transfer of agricultural products from one region to another. With 23% of the world’s arable land\, 46% of tropical forests\, and 31% of freshwater\, Latin America possesses unparalleled potential for revolutionizing food production. By embracing sustainable intensification and conserving natural ecosystems\, the region can nourish a growing population without further deforestation\, protect vital ecosystems\, safeguard biodiversity mitigating climate change\, and become a global leader in sustainable food production. While studies have explored land sparing\, land sharing\, rebound effects\, and leakage in Latin America\, significant regional gaps remain. Existing research often lacks integration into the causes and consequences of these phenomena in diverse local contexts and potential pathways for the effective implementation of sustainable solutions. This study employs an evidence synthesis approach (https://asreview.nl/) to comprehensively analyze the existing literature. Our goal is to identify the main drivers and consequences of crop expansion and intensification across Latin America exploring potential pathways for policy implementation that fosters sustainable food production while protecting the environment.
