SUMMARY:Climate Change and Health Inequities in Hilly Regions: Evidence from a Scoping Review
DESCRIPTION:Globally\, climate change poses serious threats to public health\, and because of their unique ecological characteristics\, ranging from their topography to resources makes the hilly areas particularly vulnerable. UNEP states\, globally 1.2 billion people live in mountainous regions. These regions are highly sensitive to climate change\, warming at rates exceeding global averages. Example\, between 1901 and 2012\, global temperatures rose by 0.89°C\, while hill regions in the Himalayas warmed by 1.24°C. For millions of people living in these delicate ecosystems\, this sharp increase in temperature\, along with altered precipitation patterns and extreme weather events\, increases already-existing health risks and imposes new ones.\nThis scoping review aims to map the current evidence on the health effects of climate change in hilly regions.\nA thorough search was performed utilizing MeSH terms and phrases related to climate change\, hilly regions\, and health implications in PubMed and Google Scholar. The scoping review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines\, to ensure methodological robustness\, systematic data extraction\, and comprehensive reporting of results. Studies addressing the ramifications of climate change and emphasizing health outcomes in hilly or mountainous regions met the inclusion criteria.\nSignificant health effects that have been noted include a higher risk of vector-borne illnesses as a result of rising temperatures; food and water insecurity made worse by erratic rainfall and droughts; elevated rates of malnutrition; mental health problems brought on by disruptions to livelihoods; and population displacement and conflict over limited resources. There was a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations. This analysis shows that there are major worldwide direct and indirect health costs associated with climate change in hilly regions. More primary research in these ecologically and socially deprived environments should look into context-specific risks and adaptation strategies. A nuanced understanding can help to shape policies aimed at increasing health equity and climate resilience.

SUMMARY:Ruptures in perceived solution spaces for adaptation to flood risk: Actor-specific insights from Mumbai’s flood risk reduction and general lessons
DESCRIPTION:Adaptation to the increasing impacts of climate change will require societies to design portfolios of risk management solutions by selecting from an array of available adaptation options. A major step on the way toward a strong social contract for adaptation is understanding how different actors view different adaptation options as well as what adaptation goals they have and for whom. Here we adopt an actor-oriented multi-dimensional framework to understand how different actors evaluate their perceived adaptation solution space. The aim is to understand who identifies which adaptation options and how they are assessed as well as what desired objectives are and for whom they are targeted. In other words\, what works\, how\, for what\, and for whom. We build on the feasibility and effectiveness assessments used in IPCC’s sixth assessment report and explore the framework by applying it to the solution space for flood risk in Mumbai. We draw on empirical data collected through key informant interviews with state\, civil society\, and academic actors. Our findings show that\, overall\, actors see the need for institutional changes and green infrastructure measures. In terms of the factors perceived to enable or constrain adaptation\, actors agree on the pivotal role of institutional aspects as even more important than financial or technical factors. However\, the assessment revealed stark disparities between state and non-state actors\, in particular on the objective of efficiency\, largely emphasized by state actors for physical infrastructure measures. Other contested objectives included ecosystem protection and fairness for vulnerable populations. This study makes an empirical and analytical contribution to advance feasibility and effectiveness assessments by including actor perceptions in the evaluation of solution spaces for adaptation in real-world settings. It aims to inform decision-making processes for more effective and equitable adaptation.

SUMMARY:How effective are heat risk management strategies in South Asian cities? A systematic review of literature
DESCRIPTION:Residents in South Asian cities are already facing devastating heatwaves; and at global warming of 2°C\, their exposure to heat stress is set to triple. Limiting warming to 1.5°C may halve this impact\, but deadly heat stress could become commonplace\, especially in urban centers (Ashfaq et al.\, 2021). In the face of escalating climate change\, urban environments and human settlements are focal points for effective climate solutions (IPCC\, 2022). Prior research has identified various technologies and strategies to manage extreme heat and showcased instances of adaptation by individuals\, communities\, and governmental stakeholders. However\, a comprehensive understanding of the overall effectiveness of these implemented heat adaptation actions is lacking. This systematic literature review fills this gap by examining the efficacy of different heat risk management solutions—specifically\, nature-based\, technological\, informational\, and structural interventions—implemented in South Asian cities. \nUsing PRISMA guidelines\, the review assesses current evidence to examine how much heat risk is reduced\, and for whom. Care is taken to examine outcomes across spatial and temporal dimensions\, assessing the varied impacts of heat solutions across different climatic zones\, and potential adaptation limits to heat risk management. We also examine whether processes underpinning heat risk management (e.g.\, public participation\, complex risk assessments) lead to more effective solutions. Evaluating the effectiveness of heat adaptation solutions can contribute to climate-resilient urban environments as well as inform urban policymakers on which solutions to prioritise in the short and long-term.

SUMMARY:Regions at risk: end-of-century impacts of extreme climate change on global population
DESCRIPTION:The human population is projected to grow to between 8.9 billion and 12.4 billion by 2100\, with 85% expected to live in cities. Over 80% of global GDP is generated in cities\, demonstrating the importance of urban environments to human flourishing. As urban infrastructure systems are vulnerable to climate change it is vital that the full range of potential impacts on urban areas are understood. \nHigh-impact\, low-likelihood (HILL) extreme climate change (ECC) events do not receive as much attention as scenarios considered most likely in the existing literature\, despite the severe threat these tail risks pose to many aspects of human society. This includes impacts on urban infrastructure\, supply chains\, population displacement and migration\, food\, water and energy security and associated consequences such as conflict. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the likelihood of ECC due to\, for example\, potential climate tipping elements that may cascade\, trigger feedbacks and lead to runaway climate change\, even if global warming remains under Paris Agreement thresholds\, which is growing more unlikely. The potentially existential impacts of such scenarios necessitates that we exercise the precautionary principle and explore the boundaries of plausibility. \nIn this study we present synthesised evidence from extreme climate change scenarios\, assessing the potential worst-case impacts on urban systems with a focus on heterogeneous regional impacts and the potential need for significant pre-emptive adaptation efforts. Global regions are ranked according to their potential vulnerability to ECC impacts with the aim of identifying urban areas where critical infrastructure is at risk of failure and what effects are likely to be experienced. We highlight gaps in current understanding and the need to focus research in this area\, including case studies of infrastructure systems in cities identified as vulnerable\, with the aim of generating evidence for use in policy development.

SUMMARY:Synthesising evidence on approaches to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles
DESCRIPTION:Given the reasonable assumption that people will still be driving two and four-wheeled vehicles in 30 years\, then the transition away from internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs)\, and almost certainly to electric vehicles (EVs)\, is an essential one for complete decarbonization of the transportation sector. In one country – Norway – this transition is taking place at breathtaking speed\, but this is an outlier\, and question remains how to accelerate it elsewhere. There are many policies currently in operation in order to do so\, and many competing beliefs on how to do it better. \nIn this paper\, I qualitatively synthesize the results from separate studies related to this issue\, each of which highlights different aspects of the challenge of accelerating the transition. These fall into three main categories: (1) studies that model consumer choices\, according to economic and convenience factors; (2) studies that examining consumer preferences and beliefs\, to understand the factors that influence their acceptance of EVs and the policies that would phaseout the use of ICEVs; and (3) qualitative evaluation of alternative policy instruments\, to understand their effectiveness at addressing the barriers to accelerated diffusion. The studies themselves have been conducted in multiple European countries\, and concerned both private cars and motorcycles. \nThe synthetic results highlight the importance of regulatory approaches\, particularly with respect to the availability of residential charging infrastructure. They also highlight the divide between popular perception of many environmental and economic aspects of EV ownership\, and a resulting low acceptance rate both of EVs and the policies that would phase out ICEVs. As we identify several causes for this low acceptance\, including the discourses within which EV ownership and use are characterized\, our results also offer lessons to both policy-makers and policy-entrepreneurs seeking to develop politically-feasible interventions.

SUMMARY:Residual carbon emissions in companies’ climate pledges: Who has to reduce and who gets to remove?
DESCRIPTION:Residual emissions need to be balanced by permanent emission removal to reach the goal of net zero\, which has been defined as a balance of sources and sinks by the IPCC. To reach this goal\, private sector action and a rigorous definition of residual emissions is crucial. To identify how residual emissions are currently used by the private sector\, I have analysed 115 corporate climate pledges and their interpretation of residual emissions. The results show that the current ambiguity of residual emissions leads to low ambitions in the private sector. Fifty-five of the analysed companies mention residual emissions\, but only eleven of them linked residual emissions to a specific process or product. From the companies that had a net zero target (69) only 22% aimed to reduce emissions to a residual level and compensate with removals. The residual emission levels in the target year is specified by 28 companies and ranges between 0-80% (mean = 19.6%\, median = 10%\, n=28). More than half of the residual emissions that exceed the mean of 10% are claimed by sectors that are not classified as hard-to-abate such as information technology or communication companies. The results call for a more rigorous use of the term “net zero” as well as “residual emissions” and a dialogue between politicians\, civil society and industry regarding residual emission levels that I would like to contribute to in the oral presentation.

SUMMARY:Industry Transition Policies - From Roadmaps to Trackers: Innovations in evidence based decision making
DESCRIPTION:Emissions stemming from the steel sector contribute approximately 2.8 gigatonnes of CO2 annually\, accounting for approximately 7% of the global CO2 emissions and approximately 5% of emissions within the European Union (European Commission\, 2022; IEA\, 2023). To align the iron and steel industry with the Paris Agreement objectives\, a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide emissions is imperative. \nThe Green Steel Tracker developed by the Leadership Group for Industry Transition aims to provide support to decision makers in policy and industry\, as well as to civil society\, by gathering all information on low-carbon investments in the steel industry in one place. The tracker monitors the progress of initiatives utilizing technologies able to minimize carbon dioxide emissions\, framed under a time-bound company-wide plan for decreasing iron and steel carbon dioxide emissions. \nComplimenting trackers are decarbonization roadmaps\, which build momentum and overcome inertia around transition. The method provides a pre-determined goal associated with a desirable future and sets out possible pathways\, strategic plans\, actions\, and policies required to reach that point. Such industry transition roadmaps can serve as analytical tools for understanding\, framing and shaping complex transitions. They offer an opportunity to set out the timing and sequencing of policy\, investment and innovation in such a way that reduces the risk of industries being locked into higher emission trajectories due to the long lifespan of industrial assets. \nWe propose to present at this session illustrative examples of tools and methodologies that can catalyse industry transition with the goal of climate mitigation. We will build upon our work in the Global South\, of technology co-development and innovative uses of data to highlight how such transitions can be scaled up.

SUMMARY:Context factors enabling effective climate policies: A taxonomy of entry points
DESCRIPTION:The effectiveness of climate policies depends on context factors specific to the implementing region. Understanding which context factors are key for the success of a sectoral climate policy is vital to determine promising policy interventions in similar regions. \nWe conduct a machine learning-assisted systematic literature review\, to answer the research question which combinations of policy interventions and regional context factors have been effective for the deployment of climate change mitigation technologies or for the transitioning away from fossil fuels. These combinations are distinct opportunities for change\, and thus entry points for a climate neutral transition. Our review exclusively covers studies that conduct an ex-post evaluation of sectoral climate policies (energy\, transport\, buildings\, industry) and are published after the decision on the Paris Agreement. \nOur aim is to establish a taxonomy of sector-specific entry points for a transition towards climate neutrality. We categorize context factors as enabling factors or barriers based on the feasibility framework by Brutschin et al.\, (2021). The purpose of this taxonomy is to provide policymakers with best-practice policy examples that are relevant to their circumstances. Additionally\, we seek to classify country groups based on specific technologies and similar contexts\, providing insights into the feasibility of best-practice policy roll-out. \nPreliminary findings indicate that country groups regarding the deployment of solar technology depend\, i.a.\, on the degree of current solar deployment. So far\, we can identify three country groups: (i) rural electrifiers (ii) solar introducers (iii) established solar users. Subject to the availability of geophysical resources\, rural electrifiers can profit from public-private partnerships\, while feed-in-tariffs and tax exemptions are promising instruments for solar introducers in fully electrified regions. In contrast\, established solar users benefit from reverse auctioning\, contracts-for-difference and infrastructure investments. We expect to develop a more granular definition of established users within the further process of this research.

SUMMARY:Systemic evaluation of energy transition pathways
DESCRIPTION:Transitions of energy systems towards carbon neutrality in 2050 are needed to keep global temperature increase around 1.5°C.\nHowever\, energy transition pathways should be evaluated ex-ante to avoid negative consequences on natural\, economic and human systems and boosts cobenefits aligned with sustainable development goals. In order to be unbiased\, this evaluation should be systemic\, addressing aspects through the socioeconomic\, environmental and political dimensions of sustainable development.\nIt is key that the systemic evaluation integrates local circumstances (e.g. surrounding ecosystems\, natural resources endowment\, production and economic profile\, population characteristics and cultural aspects) and use them as the baseline. Global evaluation through the use of average impacts should be avoided\, since “averages” mask the diversity across regions.\nSystemic evaluations can be done by using quanti- and/or qualitative indicators. These indicators “measure” the potential impact on the aspects to be evaluated with respect to the baseline.\nIn the case study for Argentina presented in this paper\, energy scenarios that achieve carbon neutrality in 2050 are evaluated through a set of socioeconomic\, environmental and political indicators. Besides GHG emissions\, quantitative indicators cover energy and investment costs; stranded assets; energy use per capita and per GDP; job creation; energy mix diversification; use of land\, water and materials; air quality; and solid and nuclear waste. In addition\, qualitative indicators cover the potential for domestic technology and local development; social-environmental conflicts; and the contribution to energy sovereignty.\nEnergy scenarios dominated by renewable energy and green hydrogen show lower overall costs but higher use of land and materials than the BAU scenario dominated by fossil fuels. In addition\, renewable energy scenarios show greater potential for job creation\, technology and local development\, and lower potential to social conflicts.\nIn summary\, systemic\, ex–ante\, evaluation of energy scenarios could be a powerful tool for policy makers to design energy policies.

SUMMARY:Interventions promoting resilience through climate-smart agricultural practices for women farmers: a systematic review
DESCRIPTION:Women farmers in many developing countries are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and lack the ability to adapt quickly due to their limited access to resources such as land\, capital and technology. As a result\, they are less likely to be able to adopt Climate-smart Agricultural Approaches (CSA) approaches that can reduce the negative impacts of climate change. Developing countries must prioritize investments in climate-smart agriculture to ensure that women farmers can access the resources they need to adapt to a changing climate. We conducted a forthcoming systematic review of interventions to promote CSA approaches. The review aimed to determine the effectiveness of the interventions in increasing the adoption of CSA practices and decreasing the use of harmful agricultural practices by women farmers. After systematic search and screening\, eight impact evaluations (two randomized controlled trials and six quasi-experimental studies) were included. Overall\, the evidence is concentrated in six countries: Bangladesh\, China\, Ghana\, India\, Kenya\, Tanzania and Uganda. The findings from these studies suggest that gender-responsive training and education through Farmer Field Schools led to increased participation of women farmers. This involvement led to increased knowledge retention\, improved decision-making and enhanced adoption of recommended CSA approaches. It was observed that when women farmers are actively involved in decision-making processes and have equal access to information and resources\, they are more likely to adopt improved CSA approaches. The meta-analysis indicated that knowledge dissemination approaches have proven to be highly effective in enhancing farmers’ knowledge and adoption of specific CSA approaches\, including integrated pest management techniques\, Stress-tolerant Rice Varieties and the use of botanical pesticides. \nTargeted efforts to enhance women farmers’ awareness and knowledge about CSA practices and their benefits are effective at increasing their adoption.

SUMMARY:Institutional innovations for mainstreaming climate-smart agriculture in policy and programs: a systematic review of barriers and enablers
DESCRIPTION:The severe and disruptive climate change impacts on agriculture and food systems will continue to jeopardize the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in sub-Saharan Africa if unprecedented efforts and actions are not committed to climate-resilient development pathways. While deploying and upscaling climate-resilient technologies\, is crucial\, institutional innovations for mainstreaming climate-resilient innovations in agricultural development policy and programs are also necessary. Recently connecting science and policy for mainstreaming of climate-resilient technologies and practices in agricultural development policy and program has been promoted as an institutional climate-smart innovation. While the success of the science-policy interfacing initiatives with regards to variety of outcomes have been analyzed\, enabling and constraining factors have not been systematically analyzed across case studies to provide new insights and lessons to inform effective science policy engagement. This paper aims to fill this gap by systematically analyzing and synthesizing barriers and enablers of effective science-policy interfacing for adaptation in agriculture and food systems across the globe and a structured analysis of case studies on national science-policy dialogue platforms in West Africa. Our synthesis of the resulting 151 cases from 62 publications and three empirical cases from Ghana\, Mali and Niger presents a systematic and comprehensive stocktake of barriers and enablers of effective science-policy interfacing for adaptation in agriculture and food systems. Science-policy interfacing initiatives for adaptation in agriculture and food systems are geographically fragmented\, occurring often at national level and in the context of specific projects.

SUMMARY:Making climate solutions work for women in agri-food systems: Building an evidence base to catalyze action
DESCRIPTION:Climate resilient agri-food systems are critical for global food security and public health. Within these systems\, vulnerable socio-economic groups\, particularly women\, bear the brunt of disproportionate impacts of climate change\, necessitating a re-evaluation of solution designs. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA)\, acknowledged as a viable solution for sustainable agricultural development\, is a holistic approach for enhancing productivity\, supporting adaptation and mitigation\, and bolstering farmers’ resilience. However\, its adoption and impact hinge significantly on persistent gender inequalities in agricultural contexts.\nWomen\, constituting approximately 43% of the agricultural labor force\, confront disparities in land rights\, access\, and resources that influence their abilities to cope and adapt to climate change. Their challenges extend beyond effective participation in food production to the difficulties in accessing markets\, credit\, information\, and technologies. Climate change compounds these challenges and imposes an additional burden on them to sustainably manage both food and livelihood security. Such increasing vulnerability of women in agriculture poses questions on the potential of CSA to generate impact at scale. Gender-smart climate solutions hold immense potential to integrate women into agricultural value chains and generate cascading effects on poverty reduction\, improved health\, and enhanced food security. To bridge this knowledge gap on whether and to what extent CSA works for women\, CGIAR’s Gender Impact platform worked with various partners and experts to build an evidence base to inform climate-smart agricultural solutions that are gender-responsive. A meta-synthesis of the research outputs including evidence and gap map\, learning agenda and a series of systematic and scoping reviews on various dimensions of CSA and gender provide a nuanced understanding on how women can drive climate change responses when solutions are tailored to their needs. In essence\, the evidence emphasizes the necessity to integrate gender-responsive and climate-smart approaches for timely course correction and an equitable evolution of CSA practices.

SUMMARY:Crop\, livestock\, and forestry integration to reconcile soil health\, food production\, and climate change mitigation in the Brazilian Cerrado: A review
DESCRIPTION:Integrated crop-livestock (ICL) and crop-livestock-forest (ICLF) systems have been widely adopted in the Brazilian Cerrado. Accordingly\, an enormous increase in the number of publications evaluating ICL and ICLF systems has been observed in the last decade. However\, to the best of our knowledge\, this information has never been analyzed together in a comprehensive way. Here\, we gathered the publications regarding the effects of ICL and ICLF systems on soil health\, plant and animal production\, and carbon (C) balance\, and then synthesized them in comparable terms\, aiming to evaluate the sustainability of these systems in a broader and comprehensive approach. Based on evidence from 65 peer-reviewed publications\, it was observed that adopting integrated systems can improve soil health in the Brazilian Cerrado. With a few exceptions\, positive effects on chemical\, physical\, and biological indicators of soil health were observed for most of the studies that compose our data. Accordingly\, results showed that ICL and ICLF systems can improve plant yield and animal production\, but special attention regarding the grazing regime and tree management (e.g.\, spacing\, pruning\, thinning) is required. Moreover\, the soil C accumulation fully offset soil N2O emissions\, underscoring the feasibility of ICL and ICLF systems for decreasing the C footprint of agricultural commodities in this region. The research assembled in this review has undoubtedly advanced our knowledge about integrated systems in the Brazilian Cerrado. However\, there are still significant knowledge gaps that should be addressed\, such as their effects on soil physics and biology. Despite these shortcomings\, our literature review demonstrates that ICL and ICLF systems are important strategies to intensify agricultural production in the Brazilian Cerrado while ensuring sustainability.

SUMMARY:A map of the evidence of climate change and biodiversity interventions on environmental and human outcomes in L&MICs
DESCRIPTION:Climate change and biodiversity loss are interconnected crises\, with feedback loops that can exacerbate both issues. Low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs) are disproportionately affected by both crises as livelihoods in these countries often depend on local natural\, animal\, and plant resources. They also face greater exposure to changing environmental conditions and to more frequent and severe negative shocks. The severity of these two crises\, the possible irreversible changes that they bring\, and the limited resources to tackle these issues underscore the crucial need for evidence-informed action. \nEvidence Gap Maps (EGMs) provide a structured overview of the state of the evidence and easy access to individual studies to inform policy\, programming and research decisions. Leveraging and connecting related resources and previous synthesis efforts\, we will present the findings of a systematic search and categorisation of impact evaluations and systematic reviews of climate change and biodiversity interventions implemented in L&MICs. Based on the latest strategic and policy papers around climate change and biodiversity\, the EGM covers interventions focused on mitigation\, adaptation\, protection\, conservation\, and restoration across four natural systems and productive activities – land and forests\, agriculture and livestock\, coasts and oceans\, and aquaculture and fisheries – and includes evaluations reporting environmental and human outcomes. \nWe will summarise the main characteristics of the evidence and identify primary evidence and synthesis gaps to guide future research and investments in the climate and biodiversity space.

SUMMARY:The effect of policy norms on public acceptance of pro-environmental policy measures
DESCRIPTION:There is a substantial body of research investigating and mapping the factors influencing citizens’ attitudes toward climate policy instruments. Based on reviews and meta-analyses we also have a quite clear idea about the role of various determinants. Despite this extensive examination\, there remains considerable variation in policy attitudes that demands further exploration\, not the least of contextual factors\, which have been relatively understudied.\nIn parallel fields\, such as individual environmental behavior—for example recycling or waste sorting—scholars have long emphasized the pivotal role of social norms in shaping and guiding actions. Building upon this finding\, our study introduces the novel concept of policy norms\, which encapsulate individuals’ perceptions of the prevailing social norms toward various pro-environmental policy measures\, such as taxes on fossil fuels\, as well as policies targeting climate related behaviors\, such as food consumption.\nOur investigation uses unique survey data collected from six countries—the United States\, Brazil\, Germany\, Sweden\, South Africa\, and India—comprising 12\,000 respondents. We find that policy norms are strongly associated with individuals’ inclinations toward accepting or rejecting a wide range policy measures. Importantly\, this influence persists even after accounting for established determinants such as ideology\, political trust\, environmental concern\, and personal norms.\nIn the future\, we plan to conduct experimental studies to better understand and confirm the reasons behind the effects we have observed. We want to explore how social norms and policy acceptance interact in more detail\, aiming to offer valuable insights that can improve climate policies worldwide.

SUMMARY:Coal and political backlash in Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Voter backlash can pose an important political economy barrier to the public and political acceptability of phasing out fossil fuels. We investigate the case of Colombia\, a country heavily dependent on coal exports\, which recently announced a complete phasing out of fossil fuels. Using a novel and unique data set\, we analyze how municipality-level changes in extracted coal and associated mining employment interact with voting outcomes\, looking at presidential elections from 2014-2022. Applying a staggered Difference in Difference design with continuous treatment\, we find that pro-mining and reformist parties are able to capitalize on changes in local coal labor markets. At the same time\, we find less political support for parties that promote phasing out mining activities\, pointing towards increasing political polarization.

SUMMARY:How political attitudes change with energy prices: Quasi-experimental evidence from Germany
DESCRIPTION:We study the impact of the 2022-2023 energy crisis in Germany. We collect four waves of panel data to measure how political attitudes change with increasing energy prices for households. Our difference-in-differences estimation exploits unique features of the German energy sector\, which allows for a quasi-experimental design. We show that increases in electricity payments lead to a decline in support for democratic institutions\, with effects intensifying over time. The study sheds light on the consequences of economic shocks on political attitudes and has implications for the design of stringent climate policies.

SUMMARY:Public support for carbon pricing policies and different revenue recycling options: a systematic review and meta-analysis of the survey literature
DESCRIPTION:Identifying policy conditions that foster public support is critical for implementing effective direct and indirect carbon pricing policies. We conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the survey-based literature on change in public support for carbon pricing policies when different revenue recycling options are presented to respondents. Following a comprehensive and transparent machine-learning assisted screening of the literature\, our dataset comprises 35 studies containing 70 surveys across 26 countries covering a total of more than 100\,000 respondents. We find that the introduction of revenue recycling options increases public support for carbon pricing scheme\, but to different degrees depending on recycling scheme and region. Our meta-regression results indicate that green spending (i.e. using revenues for climate-friendly projects) is the only revenue recycling option associated with a statistically significant increase in public support for carbon pricing policies when compared to an allocation of the revenues towards public finance (i.e. using revenues government budget purposes). Our findings moreover suggest that the effect of revenue recycling options on public support depends on the region\, and is statistically stronger in Africa\, Asia and Pacific\, and Latin America and Caribbean compared to North America.

SUMMARY:The Political Economy of Carbon Taxation
DESCRIPTION:Carbon taxation is often seen as a key instrument for cost-effective greenhouse gas mitigation. Yet\, we observe an implementation gap in terms of coverage and stringency. Successful adoption of carbon taxes depends on a myriad of political\, legal\, economic\, technical\, and multilateral factors. Considering such circumstances is crucial for successful policy choices to mitigate climate change effectively and in a just and acceptable manner.\nConducive conditions to carbon pricing have been studied along different lines. Quantitative analyses identify correlations of certain indicators with strong climate policy\, but tend to neglect causal mechanisms. On the other hand\, certain factors (e.g. public support)\, are studied extensively\, but often without comprehensive inclusion of other contextual variables. This makes it difficult to judge their relevance in comparison to other factors. Finally\, the case study literature offers a more in-depth analysis of individual climate policy processes. Since these studies naturally have a limited spatial-temporal focus\, external validity is typically low. Besides\, these studies rely on a variety of analytical approaches\, impeding comparison further.\nThe main objective of the study is to draw lessons from such qualitative case studies to understand when and why different political economy factors are relevant for the adoption success of carbon taxes\, and how they interact with each other. To that end\, a systematic review of the case study literature on carbon taxes is conducted\, including successful adoption as well as failed attempts on a global scale. This allows assessing the political economy of carbon taxes in different contexts and comparing them within a single analytical framework. The underlying study contributes to evidence-based climate policy by providing the hitherto scarce synthesis of qualitative data about carbon tax adoption. This approach allows for a more unbiased policy assessment and an inclusion of broader social science knowledge on carbon taxes.

SUMMARY:Stakeholder needs for Digital Evidence Synthesis Tools for Climate and Health: findings from a global survey and series of workshops
DESCRIPTION:Background: The climate crisis’s profound impact on human health necessitates immediate\, evidence-based action. Fast-growing research evidence on climate and health provides new opportunities but makes staying abreast with and rigorously synthesising evidence increasingly challenging and time consuming. While automation tools for evidence surveillance are being developed\, they lack rigorous evaluation and their suitability for climate and health research\, policy and practice has been largely overlooked.\nMethods: To understand the current application of Digital Evidence Synthesis Tools (DESTs)\, their future potential as well as barriers and opportunities for their uptake\, we conducted a global survey assessing user needs for DESTs in climate and health. Surveying approximately 2000 individuals worldwide\, 151 respondents provided valuable insights. Furthermore\, we conducted three workshops (with researchers\, tool developers\, science assessment experts) to discuss findings in more depth. \nResults: Covidence\, EPPI Reviewer\, Rayyan\, RevMan\, and DistillerSR emerged as popular DESTs. Researchers exhibited varying familiarity with different evidence synthesis practices\, with most using DESTs in title and abstract screening stages. They were generally perceived to increase time efficiency in evidence synthesis; however\, barriers to use included a lack of machine learning expertise\, cost considerations\, and uncertainty in tool selection. Specific needs for climate and health research were also highlighted\, emphasising variations in meta-labels\, definitions\, inclusion criteria\, and database structures. Respondents stressed the importance of rapidly updatable evidence bases to support living systematic reviews. Developers predicted future time savings in various evidence synthesis stages\, notably data extraction and visualisation. However\, all agreed that DESTs cannot replace human labour in quality appraisal. \nConclusion: Our findings shed light on the current landscape of DEST use in climate and health research\, and emphasise the need for increased investment\, capacity building\, and robust evaluations to propel the widespread adoption of DESTs and facilitate comprehensive and timely evidence synthesis.”

SUMMARY:The safe use of LLMs for screening in systematic reviews
DESCRIPTION:Background: \nThe field of Machine Learning (ML) for evidence synthesis aims to develop applications of machine learning that save labour by supplementing or replacing human effort at various stages of the systematic review process. Since ChatGPT popularised Large Language Models (LLMs) in November 2022\, several projects have assessed the potential to use LLMs to increase the labour savings possible when applying ML technologies to systematic reviews. Some of these projects have looked at the task of screening\, where a mature literature exists on how to manage the uncertainty that comes with any application of ML in order to ensure that the quality of reviews is not compromised.\nHowever\, the hitherto available evaluations of LLMs for screening have not sufficiently engaged with this existing literature\, such that we do not yet know the extent to which they may reduce labour in a realistic setting where the risk of missing relevant studies can be appropriately managed. \nObjectives: \n– To outline a framework for evaluating LLMs for screening in a way compatible with their safe use in real projects\, by combining with stopping criteria.\n– To assess the extent to which using LLMs for screening may offer additional labour savings as compared to standard methods\, while maintaining high standards\n– To assess the extent to which model choice and prompting strategy affect potential labour savings\n– To quantify the additional costs involved in using LLMs for screening instead of standard methods \nResults: \nCurrent results show that\, using simple prompts based solely on the review title\, LLMs result in substantially smaller labour savings than standard machine-learning prioritisation pipelines using support vector machine classifiers. Further results will show the effect of more complex prompting strategies involving study inclusion criteria\, as well as the comparative costs of LLM-assisted screening and traditional approaches. \nConclusions: \nThough LLMs offer impressive capabilities given their zero-shot nature\, their simplistic application in systematic review screening may result in smaller work savings than current approaches can deliver. A future research agenda may find ways to combine active learning approaches with LLMs\, for example by automatically adjusting prompts based on inclusion and exclusion decisions.

SUMMARY:Evidence Synthesis in Climate & Health: A systematic map of reporting quality and digital tool use
DESCRIPTION:The field of climate and health (C&H) is expanding rapidly and has experienced a substantial increase in evidence synthesis efforts\, to help provide robust guidance for policy and practice. To facilitate the efficiency and effectiveness of such work\, a range of tools have been developed to help streamline the evidence synthesis process – henceforth referred to as Digital Evidence Synthesis Tools (DESTs) -\, including those integrating machine learning. However\, to help provide recommendations to tool developers and funders about where our focus should be to enable the next step-change in evidence synthesis\, more information is needed about which tools are currently being used by C&H researchers\, and at which stages of the review process. To this end\, a systematic map is currently being undertaken of evidence syntheses published in the field of C&H up to December 2023 (n = 469). Deduplication\, screening and data extraction were undertaken in EPPI Reviewer\, with analysis facilitated by an an openly accessible EPPI Visualiser database. The findings reveal that a substantial percentage do not report tool utilisation (43.5%)\, with only 12.4% (n = 58) of all reviews using purpose-built systematic review platforms\, such as Covidence. Particularly surprising was the lack of reviews that reported any tools used during screening (20.9%\, n = 98)\, which is the stage that has been evaluated the most\, and where arguably the most digital evidence synthesis tools exist. The authors will provide information about the quality of reporting in C&H evidence syntheses\, as well as provide recommendations for future DEST use and development in the field.

SUMMARY:INACCT Resilience and REPRESA Synergies in Climate Resilience in African Coastal Cities and Tropical Cyclone Preparedness in Southern Africa
DESCRIPTION:The intersection of the INACCT Resilience and REPRESA projects presents a unique opportunity to address climate change impacts through collaborative approaches\, enhancing climate policy\, and sharing key findings to achieve project goals. INACCT Resilience\, focusing on inclusive African coastal cities’ resilience\, and REPRESA\, aimed at improving early warnings and resilience to tropical cyclones\, both contribute to the overarching goal of building sustainable and resilient communities in the face of climate adversities. The collaborative approach between INACCT and REPRESA leverages transdisciplinary research and stakeholder engagement to co-design gender-responsive resilience planning frameworks and early warning systems. This synergy enhances the capacity of local communities and governments to proactively manage and respond to climate risks\, thereby influencing climate policy at municipal and national levels. Key findings from both projects underscore the resilience and adaptability of informal settlements and vulnerable communities. INACCT’s participatory methodologies\, such as photovoice\, provide insights into local experiences of climate-related disasters\, while REPRESA’s state-of-the-art climate and flood modeling informs early warning systems and adaptation strategies. The goals of both projects align with the urgent need for evidence-based climate solutions highlighted by the What Works Climate Solutions Summit. By integrating INACCT’s inclusive resilience frameworks with REPRESA’s advancements in early warning and preparedness\, the projects contribute to the global effort of limiting warming to well below 2°C and adapting to existing climate impacts. This presentation will discuss the synergies between INACCT and REPRESA\, demonstrating how their combined efforts can lead to more effective and just climate solutions\, ultimately contributing to the body of knowledge that informs the IPCC’s 7th Assessment Report and other scientific policy advice on climate change.

SUMMARY:Migration as Successful Adaptation? Examining research\, policy\, and media evidence
DESCRIPTION:Human migration is an age-old strategy to manage risk. It’s nature\, quantum\, and outcomes are changing under climate change and there is conflicting evidence on whether migration can be successful adpatation or not. Drawing on a review of policies and media\, and supplemented by an ongoing evidence map of migration-as-adaptation\, this paper discusses key research areas and knowledge gaps. The work goes beyond literature reviews on the migration-adaptation interface to focus on other (non-academic) spaces where these narratives are growing and gain legitimacy from (e.g. policy documents\, popular media). The work synthesises key discourses in literature\, policy\, and media\, to articulate the need for narrative change around climate migration that (1) recognises the vulnerability and agency of climate migrants\, (2) avoids falling into the trap of environmental determinism when identifying migration drivers\, and (3) identifies entry points for expanding what we understand by ‘successful’ adpatation in an increasingly mobile world.

SUMMARY:CLARE Threads: weaving together co-produced research evidence
DESCRIPTION:A key part of CLARE’s theory of change is to support research partnerships\, produce knowledge and innovation\, strengthen capacity and pursue research impact in support of transformational change. This requires individual research projects’ to focus on impact pathways\, as well as identifying and pursuing some “threads” that bring together findings that have potential for transformational change across multiple research projects. This presentation will share some of the emerging findings on the main impact pathways that are emerging across the CLARE projects\, which highlight important entry points in the evidence-policy interface. CLARE has identified cross-cutting Threads that tie together the 18 different research projects. Two cross programme Threads have emerged so far. The first explores the link between short term disaster responses and long term climate adaptation actions; looking to connect these two timescales and better understand the potential consequences to help avoid maladaptation. The second explores how lived experiences of extreme events can shape future adaptation responses. Each of these topics is being explored within different projects and the Thread synthesis of overarching learning will help to shape future practice and policy.

SUMMARY:Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE): evidence-based climate adaptation action through transdisciplinary\, co-created\, capacity-focussed research and syntheses
DESCRIPTION:Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) is a UK-Canada framework research programme that aims to build resilience to climate change in Africa and Asia-Pacific (https://clareprogramme.org). CLARE is producing action-oriented research and syntheses\, ranging from anticipating and acting ahead of cyclones and droughts\, to the investments needed now to understand and tackle future climate risks\, to locally-led pathways for long-term\, inclusive resilience in rural-urban settings\, in 30 countries in Africa and Asia. This research is carried out by 18 teams bringing together 125 organizations in 38 countries\, two-thirds of which in Africa and Asia\, supported by CLARE’s two ‘hubs’ dedicated to capacity strengthening and research-for-impact provide collaborative spaces that foster learning and synthesis. \nCLARE is demonstrating that “what works” for producing\, synthesising and catalysing evidence for achieving climate action is research that is carried out – co-created – by transdisciplinary and diverse teams\, with practitioners working alongside researchers; that is led from people and institutions in the countries where the research is relevant; and that has strong focus on both capacity of researchers and ‘users’ and supporting tangible action. Emerging findings reinforce the importance of lab-type approaches across a diverse range of actors and diverse spatial scales to co-create inclusive policies; the need – and practical ways – to remove barriers to access to research finance for southern organisations to achieve evidence-based\, adaptation action on the ground; anSd the key roles of both knowledge brokering and capacity strengthening in fostering climate adaptation. \nThis presentation aims to introduce the session\, providing an overview of the range of evidence and syntheses that are being produced by CLARE projects beyond those more detailed covered in the session; and share emerging learning on enabling and measuring adaptation across scales and timelines\, that is locally-led and potentially transformative. \n
