Higher living standards have led to a slow-down in global population growth. This is good news for the climate because it will lead to lower growth in carbon emissions, say scientists at CICERO Center for International Climate Research.
The recent IPCC report shows that unprecedented action is needed to avoid devastating impacts of climate change. Reducing carbon emissions in line with the 1.5 °C target requires societal transformation in areas such as energy production, transport, infrastructure and industry. But what does the report mean for Norwegian business and financial sector?
Governance practices as well as obstacles for the public acceptability of low-carbon policies took center stage when researchers met with stakeholders in two fruitful workshops mid-June. Reports from the project will be out soon!
How will shifts in international climate policy change the conditions for Norway's transition to a low emissions economy?
CICERO’s research group on international climate policy is among Norway’s leaders in social science research, according to an evaluation published by the Research Council of Norway.
