Hi folks -
I don't know anything more about this than thinking this might be of
interest to this list. Critically important opportunity to get something
published fast that can contribute to the IPCC 1.5 C warming report!
Please direct questions to the special issue organizers.
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!
Best,
Susi

Dear colleagues,
*
*
to date, research on greenhouse gas mitigation policy instruments has
rarely been done in the context of very stringent mitigation targets.
The Paris Agreement’s aim of limiting warming to well below 2°C above
pre-industrial levels, and pursuing efforts to limit the warming to
1.5°C, by achieving a balance between emissions and sinks in the second
half of the century, and the special IPCC report due in 2018, creates an
urgent need for research on /climate policy /instruments consistent with
1.5°C emissions pathways. With UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
including urgent action on climate change, the implications for
development in many dimensions require attention.
Our special issue of "Climate Policy" co-edited by Myles Allen
(University of Oxford), Fu Sha (National Center for Climate Strategy and
International Cooperation of China) and Axel Michaelowa (University of
Zurich) aims to feed into the IPCC Special Report, through contributions
that address, in particular:
* The political economy of introducing mitigation policy instruments
able to drive sufficiently ambitious and rapid mitigation
* Empirical assessment of policy instruments that have led to rapid
transformations of entire economic sectors, especially in the
context of energy
* The design of incentives to achieve a fast and deep transformation,
consistent with the desired mitigation and development pathways
* Revision of mitigation policies over time given uncertainty in the
carbon budget for 1.5°C and the ratcheting up of Nationally
Determined Contributions over time
* Policy options for mobilizing technologies which are important for
limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C, including negative emissions,
etc., and their implications
* Governance of policy instruments on multiple levels (international,
national, sub-national) suitable for very strong mitigation outcomes
* The role of the sustainable development imperative, especially the
SDGs, in mobilizing policy instruments that are consistent with the
1.5°C target
We are looking for contributions from economics, politics, law and other
relevant disciplines. We would like to achieve a broad geographic
coverage of author affiliations./Climate Policy /is a world leading
peer-reviewed academic journal publishing high quality policy research
and analysis on all aspects of climate policy, including policy and
governance, adaptation and mitigation, policy design and development,
and programme delivery and impact.
The deadline for abstracts with a maximum length of 300 words is 15
December 2016. Abstracts should be sent to
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.
Decisions about which authors will be invited to prepare full papers
will be made by 15 January 2017. Full papers will be due by 31 March
2017, with a view to decisions about acceptance for publication being
made by October 2017, in line with the IPCC Special Report deadlines.
All invited papers will be subject to the standard peer review process.
I can be contacted for any further information on the special issue at
