https://padlet.com/henryjthompson/Bookmarks Notes on break-out group discussions en-us 2022-02-04 11:31:47 UTC 2022-02-04 15:48:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/henryjthompson/Bookmarks/wish/2029631566 1. Highlights the political influence of the IPCC, particularly from the Global North.
2. While IPCC has been policy relevant, this article argues that for the 1.5degree report it was policy prescriptive, in that policymakers influenced the scientific study of 1.5 degree scenarios.
3. Developing countries might not see the 1.5 degree as achievable but also they may also feel it unfair to limit their economic growth whilst Global North countries have impacted the environment through historical industrialization. The 1.5 vs 2.0 degree goals represent different socio-economic and regional attitudes. Europe was for a 2.0 degree scenario while LDCs and more at-risk Pacific Island nations forwarded the 1.5 degree target.
4. The 1.5 degree target allows countries with less academic infrastructure to have a greater say in the climate change discussions since the 1.5 degree scenarios were new research.
5. With regards to methodology, there was no discussion of bias from the respondents and how the authors accounted for the respondents who replied.]]> 2022-02-04 15:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/henryjthompson/Bookmarks/wish/2029631566 https://padlet.com/henryjthompson/Bookmarks/wish/2029646025 1. Developing countries generally have fewer but larger Multi-national corporations which dominate the market and make shifts in 'sustainability for climate change' far harder. The governments can be held ransom to MNCs.
2. As adaptation is an issue which is arguably more important for the Global South than the Global North, the IPCC needs reform to be more policy relevant for the global south with the incorporation of more Global South knowledges and authors.]]> 2022-02-04 15:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/henryjthompson/Bookmarks/wish/2029646025
