Biofuels and the Energy-Water Nexus: Perspectives for the United States
This study provides an assessment on the production of biofuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel, and the energy-water nexus in the United States.
Solar geoengineering can alleviate climate change pressures on crop yields
Solar geoengineering (SG) and CO2 emissions reduction can each alleviate anthropogenic climate change, but their impacts on food security are not yet fully understood.
Is Climate Change the Path to Greater US-China Cooperation?
Edward Cunningham discusses how decarbonization can serve as an opportunity for both countries to set aside their political tensions and work towards a common policy objective.
Permafrost carbon feedbacks threaten global climate goals
Rapid Arctic warming has intensified northern wildfires and is thawing carbon-rich permafrost.
Environmental Protection or Environmental Protectionism? Evidence from Tail Pipe Emission Standards in China
Under the stated goal of improving air quality, many cities in China restricted the import of used vehicles from other cities based on tail pipe emission standards.
Property Rights and Urban Form
How do the different elements in the standard bundle of property rights, including those of possession and transfer, influence the shape of cities?
Expert judgements on solar geoengineering research priorities and challenges
Solar geoengineering describes a set of proposals to deliberately alter the earth’s radiative balance to reduce climate risks.
