DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS



Topic: "Implementing Just Transition: Who Pays What to Whom and How”



Thursday, October 19

11:30-12:45 PM EST  (8:30-9:45 am PST)





The Environmental Politics and Governance network 
(epgnetwork.org<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://epgnetwork.org/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!k2dTKtboKHZNt8LKbGB_wtGZcKwD7Rj5MbAL6_xPG-V8QGAUHRteCxnhs8x19eRQUuS_0jR8dXChob6D-lHT2w$>)
 has launched a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an 
online structured roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to 
speakers) on a specific issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a 
deeper, theoretical level.



This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions, 
leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience.



Please register in advance 
here<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://umd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJUtcu-pqD8vG9DN16ER1GHR7s7xn2wW5Vyq__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!g4WwmoFMvwh52ja8pKpJJFi97JZUkrQhCSTjB79OMNOxdo3p7Sz5Zhl71b9D0ddBFtCvTUgZpVPv4Q$>.

information about joining the meeting.



Moderators

Jennifer Hadden, University of Maryland, College Park

Aseem Prakash, University of Washington Seattle



Panelists

Mijin Cha, University of California, Santa Cruz

Kathryn Harrison, University of British Columbia

Peter Newell, University of Sussex

Dimitris Stevis, Colorado State University

Dustin Tingley, Harvard University





The roundtable will focus on the following questions:



•  From your perspective, what are the key debates on implementing just 
transition? Who takes what position in these debates, and what are the main 
areas of disagreement? How central are these debates to the politics of climate 
change?



•  What do research and historical experience teach us about how the just 
transition should be structured? What sectors should it cover? Who should 
decide what resources are committed, when and how?



•  From a cross-national perspective, are there differences in how just 
transition plays out in different contexts? For example, what role might 
foreign aid or international NGOs or other international mechanisms play in 
supporting this work in developing country contexts?

[gep-ed] Re: New paper on Net Zero

2023-06-05 Thread Aseem Prakash

Hi Jessica: Thanks; look forward to reading it.

Here is another paper on net zero pledges. this is open access

https://journals.plos.org/climate/article?id=10.1371/journal.pclm.094
[https://journals.plos.org/climate/article/figure/image?id=10.1371/journal.pclm.094.g001=inline]
Have renewable energy leaders announced aggressive emission reduction goals? 
Examining variations in the stringency of country-level net-zero emission 
pledges
The 2015 Paris Agreement outlined the goal to limit temperature increases below 
2°C, preferably to 1.5°C. In response, several countries have announced 
net-zero emission pledges (NZEP). The credibility of these pledges varies 
because countries have committed to different target years. Moreover, some 
pledges outline sectoral as opposed to economy-wide targets and vary in how 
they monitor progress. To assess the pledge’s credibility, we create a novel 
NZEP stringency score. We find that climate leaders with a higher share of 
renewable energy in final energy consumption are more likely to have announced 
more stringent NZEPs. However, economic development, the size of the economy, 
countries’ embeddedness in international environmental treaties, and the 
robustness of domestic civil society are not associated with NZEP stringency.

Dear all,



Apologies for the shameless self-promotion, but you may wish to have a look at 
a new paper out in Climate Policy.  It’s a great “workhorse” paper – shows 
rigorously what we already know about net zero.  There’s a lot of talk, but not 
a lot of implementation.  This is a meta-review of the literature which 
provides details about what we know and don’t know about net zero.  Link to the 
twitter thread is 
here,
 and link to the paper is 
here.
  Happy to send a PDF if anyone doesn’t have access.



Best,

Jessica

and received
34 submissions from scholars located in 12 countries. We short-listed 20 for 
the online conference in August 2021.  After the conference, the guest editors 
identified 10 papers for submission to the journal. Following the standard peer 
review process, we conferred with the NVSQ editors to select five manuscripts 
for inclusion in this symposium. We are delighted to present these articles 
below.

[gep-ed] Deadline tomorrow: 9th Annual Seattle Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance

2023-02-26 Thread Aseem Prakash

9th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop

in Environmental Politics and Governance
University of Washington, Seattle

May 10-12, 2023

On May 10-12, 2023, the University of Washington’s Center for Environmental
Politics<https://envirpol.org/> will organize the 9th annual Duck Family
Graduate Workshop (in-person) for doctoral students working in the area of
environmental politics and governance (EPG). This follows the successful
workshops that the Center hosted in previous years (see
here<https://epgnetwork.org/grad-workshop/>).

Objective:

Why the workshop? Understanding the governance and political aspects of
environmental issues is critical for addressing the gamut of environmental
challenges. The politics of governance perhaps has become an even more critical
factor in the changed political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EPG
research often makes it hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods
across relevant disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
will help overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue for
doctoral students to become active participants in the community of EPG
scholars. It will also provide a venue for doctoral students to network with
others working on similar issues.

Expenses:

There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, namely
each participant’s food and shared hotel lodging (with two participants per
room) for three nights, May 10, 11, and 12. Participants are responsible for
travel expenses. The Center will, however, purchase (very credible) carbon
offsets for all.

Application Logistics:

This workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made
substantial progress in their graduate studies: that is, they are able to
present a fully developed paper or a chapter from their dissertation. The
students need to submit:

An abstract (about 800 – 1,000 words) of a paper/dissertation chapter is to be
emailed to (and copy Meagan Carmack ).

A letter of support from their graduate advisor is to be emailed to
(and copy Meagan Carmack ).

The deadline for submission is February 27, 2023.

Timeline:

March 1-7, 2023: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.

March 7, 2023: Participants are formally invited.

May 1, 2023: Participants email their papers to (and copy
Meagan Carmack, ), details to follow.

Wednesday, May 10, 2023: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel
(Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner.

Thursday and Friday, May 11 and 12, 2023: Full-day Workshop in Smith Room
(Suzallo Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.

Saturday, May 13, 2023: Departure.

The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique event
focused on furthering graduate training and education. Should you have any
questions, feel free to email Aseem Prakash () or Meagan Carmack
().

[gep-ed] Next week: Deep Climate Conversations: Multi-disciplinarity in Climate Social and Behavioral Sciences

2023-01-26 Thread Aseem Prakash

DEEP CLIMATE CONVERSATIONS

Topic: “Multi-disciplinarity in Climate Social and Behavioral Sciences:
Challenges and Opportunities”

Wednesday, February 1

12:00-1:15 PM EST

The Environmental Politics and Governance network (epgnetwork.org) has launched
a new initiative, Deep Climate Conversations. This will be an online structured
roundtable (i.e., questions circulated in advance to speakers) on a specific
issue. The objective is to explore climate issues at a deeper, theoretical
level.

This will be a 75-minute event: 60 minutes for discussion of planned questions,
leaving about 15 minutes for comments from the audience. We have scheduled it
for Wednesday, February 1, 12:00-1:15 PM EST.

Please register in advance
here<https://umd.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwlce6rrz8jHNITA7vAwqxTy3uzbSNsLmxI>.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing
information about joining the meeting.

Moderators

Jennifer Hadden, University of Maryland, College Park

Aseem Prakash, University of Washington Seattle

Panelists

Teenie Matlock, UC Merced

Ron Mitchell, University of Oregon

Timmons Roberts, Brown University

Benjamin Sovacool, Boston University

This roundtable will focus on the following questions:

1. What are the key questions on climate mitigation and adaptation examined
in your discipline? What are the key findings?

2. What are the most pressing research frontiers in the study of climate
change in your discipline?

3. Must climate scholars be multi-disciplinary? What are the pros and cons
of disciplinary focus vs. multi-disciplinarity

[gep-ed] Does a climate platform have electoral payoff?

2022-07-15 Thread Aseem Prakash

Hello friends and colleagues:

In its recent decision in West Virginia v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled
that without explicit Congressional authorization, the EPA cannot compel power
plants to stop using coal. Could Americans elect a pro-climate Congress?
Opinion polls, including the most recent Pew Poll released yesterday, suggest
that Americans favor federal climate laws. But could this public support
translate into votes in say the 2022 midterm elections? Our analysis of the
2020 Congressional elections suggests that Democrats who endorsed the Green New
Deal (GND) resolution in Congress got a higher share of votes than their
colleagues who did not (even after controlling for their 2018 vote share).

Here is the commentary Meagan Carmack, Nives, and I published today in
Washington Post/Monkey Cage:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/07/15/green-new-deal-election-midterms-democrats/

If you want to read the full article published in PLOS-Climate (open access),
please click here:

If you cannot access the WaPo commentary, please email me and I will send you
the PDF.

Thanks,

Aseem

[gep-ed] did BP spill affect reputation and stock prices; and any industry wide spillovers

2022-06-19 Thread Aseem Prakash

Dear Friends:

This article (Penalties for industrial accidents: The impact of the Deepwater
Horizon accident on BP’s reputation and stock market returns) might interest
you.
The findings are that while the 2010 Deepwater disaster inflicted long-term
reputational damage on BP, it did not affect its long-term stock market
returns. Moreover, neither the reputational nor the stock market effects
spilled over to other oil companies. If stock markets do not punish firms for
their bad behaviors, do we have to rely on governmental regulations only? Does
this mean that the ESG-based Larry Fink model of corporate governance is less
likely to change corporate climate behavior?

Here is the link to the article (it is open access)
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0268743

Abstract
Do visible industrial accidents damage firms’ reputations and depress their
stock market returns, and do these penalties spill over to other firms in the
industry? On April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil rig in the Gulf
of Mexico leased by BP exploded and sank, causing 11 deaths and the largest
marine oil spill in US history. We examine the impact of this accident on BP’s
reputation and stock market performance using data from YouGov’s BrandIndex and
Capital IQ’s financial data for the period 2007–2017. We employ a synthetic
control analysis to examine the extent and duration of these penalties. We find
that in the aftermath of the Deepwater accident, BP’s reputation declined by
approximately 50% relative to the synthetic control, and this decline persisted
through the end of 2017. Yet, in terms of financial market returns, though the
stock price dropped drastically in the first two months, we do not find a
statistically significant decline in the stock market returns either in the
mid-term (1–2 years) or the long term (2–7 years). In terms of spillover
effects, we find no evidence of reputational damage or a decline in stock
market returns for other oil and gas firms. These findings suggest that while
environmental accidents invite swift and lasting reputational penalties, they
might not depress the stock market performance in the long run. Moreover, the
impact either on reputation or stock market returns does not necessarily spill
over to other firms in the same industry.

Hi Miranda and GEP colleagues:

This is a great debate. I suspect it is a bit late to have a panel at the ISA 
on this subject.
But I am happy to organize an online panel.

If folks are interested in participating, please email directly (not to the GEP

Subject: Re: [gep-ed] The Ukraine invasion democracy and energy transitions

Hi Aseem, Hello al,

Thanks for your commentary. It is informative. But I don’t agree with all of 
your assessments. Working as co-chair of a committee dealing with high level 
radioactive waste management, I can not agree with you that nuclear energy is 
the path forward. It also takes much too long to build. European experience 
shows that countries that heavily invest in nuclear, are slow to build out 
renewables. They are also at risk of big supply problems if they become too 
heavily dependent on nuclear.

Germany will most certainly be expanding its renewable energy push. It is 
currently getting about 50% of its electricity from renewables (up from 6% in 
2000: actually in the first two months of 2022 it has been getting well over 
50%). With the Ukraine crisis, the expansion of renewables will be putting into 
fast speed. There are still many ways to enhance energy efficiency and energy 
savings. Plans are to be climate neutral by 2045 with 65% renewables by 2030.  
I think we might now get there as early as 2025 or 2027.

In response to a request from Peace Boat in Japan, I wrote the attached memo 
this morning. It is in response to the following statement from five former 
Japanese prime ministers criticising the EU’s sustainability taxonomy which 
lists both natural gas and nuclear as sustainable 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXNi2gLjxm). I agree with their critique.




My response is attached.

Best, Miranda

Subject: [gep-ed] The Ukraine invasion democracy and energy transitions

Dear GEP-EDers

I am totally distracted and disgusted by what is going on in the Ukraine.  
Putin’s march into the Ukraine is frightening. It reminds me of what happened 
in Poland, Czechoslovakia, central and Eastern Europe.  I grew up in a 
neighbourhood of Europeans who fled the Soviet Union’s invasions of the past 
(Prague Spring). The potential for a break out of a larger war is real and a 
Cold War is certainly back. Putin has taken Europe and to some extent the US on 
a ride — and the west fell into his net.  He pursued the game of economic 
cooperation and interdependence, with major European and especially German 
companies become heavily dependent on Russian resources. Germany is about 50 
percent dependent on Russia for its gas supplies and is also highly dependent 
on its oil and coal.

Europe did not imagine what is now unfolding. Over the years, NATO forces have 
been weakened.  And despite what happened with the annexation of Crimea (in the 
Ukraine) and parts of Georgia, the West did little to deter what is now coming 
to light as a long planned strategy on Putin’s part to rebuild at least parts 
of the Soviet empire. NATO is now scrambling to strengthen border defences and 
alliances.  Hopefully the sanctions which have been introduced will have some 
impact. I understand that more are in planning. For the Ukraine, we have to 
hope that the aid and the sanctions are not much too little, much too late.

On top of the populists and authoritarian leaders who have sprung up in so many 
countries, this invasion really calls for us all to do more to speak up for 
freedom and democracy. It is also a call to speed up our energy transitions. We 
need greater energy efficiency, energy savings and renewable energies to break 
the dependency on authoritarian regimes. Especially Europe but also the US, 
Japan, and S Korea  have paid into the coffers of Russia (and other dictatorial 
regimes) with our large appetites for fossil fuels.

So, in response, I turned down my heat even further (it was already off in most 
rooms), wrote an article, and have participated in panels talking about what is 
going on with Russia and why democracy is in serious danger if we are not 
prepared to ourselves pay a price to protect it.  One way of doing this in the 
medium- to long-term is an energy transition. This will be important for 
climate change but also for the fight against authoritarianism.

This is obviously an over simplification of a very complex situation, and I 
know that you all know this, but I somehow felt the need to say something….

Wishing for the best for the Ukraine….

[gep-ed] 8th Annual Graduate Workshop on Environmental Politics and Governance

2022-02-14 Thread Aseem Prakash

8th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and
Governance
University of Washington, Seattle
May 18-20, 2022

On May 18-20, 2022, the University of Washington’s Center for Environmental
Politics will organize the 8th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop for
doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and governance
(EPG). This follows on the successful workshops that the Center hosted in
previous years
(https://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/CEP-Workshop-Schedule-2021.pdf).
Our plan is to organize the workshop in person in Seattle. However, if the
COVID-19 situation does not stabilize, we will work with the online format.

Objective:
Why the workshop? Understanding the governance and political aspects of
environmental issues is critical for addressing the gamut of environmental
challenges. The politics of governance perhaps has become an even more critical
factor in the changed political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EPG
research often makes it hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods
across relevant disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
will help overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue for
doctoral students to become active participants in the community of EPG
scholars. It will also provide a venue for doctoral students to network with
others working on similar issues.

Expenses:

There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, namely
each participant’s food and shared hotel lodging (with two participants per
room) for three nights, May 18, 19, and 20.

Participants are responsible for travel expenses. The Center will, however,
purchase (very credible) carbon offsets for all.

Application Logistics:
This workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made
substantial progress in their graduate studies: that is, they are able to
present a fully developed paper or a chapter from their dissertation. The
students need to submit:

- an abstract (about 800 – 1,000 words) of a paper/dissertation chapter to be
emailed to mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Inhwan Ko,
mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>).

- a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Inhwan Ko,
mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>)

The deadline for submission is February 21, 2022.

Timeline:

· February 21-28, 2022: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.

· March 1, 2022: Participants are formally invited.

· May 12, 2022: Participants email their papers to
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Inhwan Ko,
inhwa...@uw.edu<mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>), details to follow.

· Wednesday, May 18, 2022: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel
(Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner.

· Thursday, May 19, 2022: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo
Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.

· Friday, May 20, 2022: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo Library,
University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.

· Saturday, May 21, 2022: Departure.

[gep-ed] Kind request to share cluster hire opportunity at Stanford University

2022-01-03 Thread Aseem Prakash

From: Isabel Carrera Zamanillo 
Sent: Monday, January 3, 2022 5:28 PM
To: Aseem Prakash 
Subject: Kind request to share cluster hire opportunity at Stanford University

Dear Aseem,

Happy New Year! I hope you are doing well. I am adapting well to Stanford and I 
am also part of the Environmental Justice Working Group.

I am hoping that you can help us by sharing the below advertisement with anyone 
who may be interested in Stanford’s new cluster hires in Climate 
Science<https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/cw/en-us/job/493388?lApplicationSubSourceID=>
 (broadly defined) and in Sustainable Development and Environmental 
Justice<https://facultypositions.stanford.edu/cw/en-us/job/493389?lApplicationSubSourceID=>,
 which is part of Stanford’s commitment to building a new School focused on 
climate & sustainability. These searches are for multiple tenured or 
tenure-track faculty appointments at the assistant, associate, or full 
professor level.

We are searching for creative and innovative scholars with a demonstrated 
record for high-impact research commensurate with the level of appointment, and 
a commitment to contributing to a strong and inclusive university community at 
Stanford University. These cluster hires are part of a broader effort by 
Stanford University to build a new School focused on climate & sustainability 
(https://sustainabilityinitiative.stanford.edu/), which is expected to receive 
an official name early in 2022. Appointments from this search will be made in 
the School, and the School will begin operating in the 2022-2023 academic year.

In particular, the School and University have a serious interest in increasing 
the diversity of our faculty. As the ad states, the School deeply appreciates 
the value of a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community, and defines 
diversity broadly to include (among other things) diversity of genders, races 
and ethnicities, cultures, physical and learning differences, sexual 
orientations, and identities, veteran status, and work and life experiences. I 
would greatly appreciate your help in bringing this opportunity to the 
attention of any potential candidates who would contribute diversity in any of 
these dimensions.

Given your standing as a leader in the community, I wanted to contact you 
directly. This search is very important for the launch of the new School and we 
are hoping you can help us by bringing our search to the attention of anyone 
you consider promising.

Thank you so much for any support in helping us with our search and please do 
not hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

Isabel Carrera Zamanillo
Assistant Director
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Adaptation - Please circulate to your networks

Hello

We are excited to share our advertisement for three open Assistant Professor 
positions in the area of Climate Adaptation!  The job description is now live; 
more information and links to apply are located 
here. The 
advertisement identifies six thematic areas, but I want to highlight two of 
those that include social science disciplines, and encourage you to share this 
opportunity with your colleagues and networks:

Environmental Governance: Scholars who examine interactions among societal 
actors and institutions (within and across public and private sectors, civil 
society, and the citizenry) aimed at securing collective interests surrounding 
climate change and adaptation, or who explore how new environmental governance 
arrangements may be directed towards climate change and adaptation across local 
to global scales.

Environmental Social Science: Scholars trained in indigenous studies, 
sociology, anthropology, ethnic studies, geography, or other related 
disciplines who examine the anthropogenic influences driving climate change and 
climate adaptation, or who investigate how people, including Indigenous 
communities, engage with the political and cultural conditions that influence 
ideas and tensions about land, geography, and nature.

Thanks for sharing widely, and please reach out to me if any questions.

Best,

Clare

Indigenous connections as well as the histories of dispossession and forced 
removal that have allowed for the growth and survival of this and so many of

[gep-ed] Glasgow and Beyond: Organizational Response to Climate Change

Please see the announcement for the blog symposium below: We have now published
the first couple of commentaries here:

Organizational Response to Climate Change

Guest Editors

David Konisky, Indiana University, Bloomington

Matthew Potoski, UC Santa Barbara

Aseem Prakash, University of Washington, Seattle

The 26th meeting of the Conference of Parties is scheduled for October
31-November 12, 2021 in Glasgow. This Blog symposium seeks to explore
organizational responses – both individual organizations and their networks --
to climate change and how the Glasgow summit might reveal and possibly alter
organizational dynamics.

Since the industrial revolution, the availability of cheap fossil fuels has
shaped production processes, consumption choices, and household behaviors in
industrial economies throughout the world. For centuries, all manner of
governmental, economic, and social organizations adapted to economic systems
centered on carbon-intensive economic processes. Meanwhile, the physical
consequences of climate change are becoming manifest, just as pressures for
action and government policies are mounting.

What is less clear is how these organizations are responding to the robust
challenges that are growing from this mix of climate, political, social, and
economic change. Are they resisting, reluctantly changing, or enthusiastically
incorporating decarbonization in their internal governance systems and external
advocacy? Is it business as usual with a new focus on climate issues, or are
they incorporating transformative changes to take advantage of or protect
themselves from the profound societal changes that decarbonization will bring
about?

These large-scale structural changes will certainly disrupt the status quo,
creating winners and losers. Organizations will have diverse experiences of,
and responses to, the complexities of this new world, depending on both their
internal and external factors.

The Symposium is organized by the editors of the recently launched Cambridge
Element Series in Organizational Response to Climate Change: Business,
Governments, and
Nonprofit<http://https//www.cambridge.org/core/what-we-publish/elements/elements-in-organizational-response-to-climate-change>.
It will be hosted on the fifteeneighyfour blog.

Logistics

We invite submissions (maximum 1,000 words) that summarize existing research or
report on new research. All commentaries must be written in an accessible
style; references, tables, and appendices should be provided as links embedded
in the text. In order to assure a timely review, please first email the story
pitch to mailto:cupeleme...@gmail.com>> in the following

[gep-ed] will Afghanistan crowd out climate issues

2021-08-16 Thread Aseem Prakash

Hello friends:

Many would think of wildfires, droughts, floods, and now the IPCC report as 
"focusing events" that would lead to new and vigorous climate policy. Yet, 
there is a sense of climate lethargy. Issues such as Taliban's takeover of 
Afghanistan will probably dominate the new cycle in the coming months. How will 
the US public with its limited attention span make climate policy as its top 
priority? Here is a commentary we published on Forbes.com:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2021/08/14/wildfires-heatwaves-and-the-ipcc-report-yet-climate-policy-is-losing-steam/?sh=2caca57f34b2

Climate change is a defining issue of our times. The threat of its effects to 
humanity’s welfare is widely understood on a scientific level, even if not yet 
accepted by all members of the general public Some of these affected humans 
will turn to help from nonprofit and non-governmental organizations. Injuries 
or other immediate human needs create demands for short-term help, such as the 
role played by hundreds of nonprofit and faith-based “voluntary organizations 
active in disaster”. As extreme weather increases in frequency, demands on 
these organizations are already increasing.



Long-term assistance normally provided by nonprofits and NGOs will be in 
greater demand, such as in climate refugee relocation, job training, 
immigration assistance, education, and food assistance. Taking just healthcare 
as an example, a major employer of the U.S. nonprofit workforce, climate change 
will impact public health capacity over the long term through predicted 
increases in extreme heat, water and insect-borne infectious disease, 
wildfires, air pollution, injuries, and mental health needs.



In light of the shrinking of the public sphere and a vigorous discussion about 
governmental policy and market solutions to climate change, we do not hear much 
about civil society solutions, from the community-based to the cross-national, 
and how they might aid or impede other solutions. Given the structural and 
state-centered focus of most Climate discussions, it is not surprising that 
neither the Green New Deal nor President-Elect Biden’s Climate Plans clearly 
outline the role of the nonprofit sector to address the climate crisis.



There is an extensive but disparate literature on the role of the voluntary 
sector on environmental issues, addressing advocacy and social movement 
organizations, conservation organizations, nonprofits providing public and club 
goods such as parks foundations and mountaineering clubs, the social and racial 
justice elements of climate impact, and nonprofits addressing the effects of 
climate change through disaster response. This Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector 
Quarterly symposium seeks to address these topics collectively, in terms of how 
climate change impacts civil society organizations or how civil society 
organizations respond to climate change. Climate change in the “voluntaristics” 
literature is almost entirely used as a general framing device, without focused 
attention to its nature and impact on nonprofits.



  This symposium will be organized around questions such as:



1.   Among nonprofits dedicated to sustainability, conservation, and 
climate change mitigation,

 *   what are these organizations achieving, and what knowledge can be 
generated about their strategies and capacity needs?
 *   what are nonprofits providing in the nature of climate public goods 
through activities such as planting trees or advocating no-till farming?
 *   how is climate advocacy organized in different jurisdictions?
 *   to what extent have environmental organizations repurposed themselves 
as climate organizations?
 *   what strategies seem to work for climate advocacy?
 *   to what extent have climate movement mimicked the civil rights 
movement or the broader environmental movement in terms of its strategies, 
venue choices, and resource mobilization?
 *   under what conditions do climate organizations work across sectors, 
such as with business groups, on climate issues?
 *   What is the role of social media in promoting or impeding voluntary 
action on the climate front?
 *   What is the role of climate counter-movements in the policy process? 
To what extent populist movements have coopted climate issues on their agendas?
 *   The Sunrise Movement, Greta Thunberg, and the Juliana case reveal the 
vital contributions of youth-led initiatives. Does this type of youth activism 
have parallels in other nonprofit issue areas?


2.  Religious and faith-based nonprofits have played an important role in 
many social movements.

 *   To what extent are religious organizations contributing to climate 
movements?
 *   Progressive religious and faith-based organizations have publicly 
recognized their moral responsibility to call for action on global warming.

[gep-ed] New Cambridge Series on Organizational Response to Climate Change:

2021-02-05 Thread Aseem Prakash

Announcing the launch of

Cambridge University Press Elements Series on

Organizational Response to Climate Change:
Business, Governments, and Nonprofits

Climate change is a defining issue of our times and poses enormous governance
challenges for governments, firms, and nonprofits. Since the industrial
revolution, the economic system is based on the availability of cheap fossil
fuels. This has affected the industrial processes, consumption choices,
household behaviors. However, the operations of economic, political, and social
organizations, the system’s workhorses, have been shaped by carbon-intensive
economic processes. What is less clear is how these organizations address
climate change and the pressures for decarbonization. Are they resisting,
reluctantly changing, or enthusiastically incorporating decarbonization in
their internal governance systems and external strategies? Is it business as
usual with a new focus on climate issues, or are they incorporating
transformative changes to respond to, take advantage of, or protect themselves
from the profound societal changes that decarbonization will bring about? Are
nonprofits providing services in, say, human rights field incorporating climate
concerns? Are the advocacy strategies of climate-focused nonprofits – be it
citizen groups or trade associations – different from that of other types of
advocacy organizations?

Any massive structural change disrupts the status quo, creating winners and
losers. How an organization recognizes and pursues decarbonization varies,
depending on factors both internal and external to the organization.
Organizations make different choices, and this series seeks to understand why
and how they make these choices and with what consequence for the organization
and the eco-system within which it functions.

The Cambridge Element Series will provide a platform for scholars to assess the
climate response of different categories of organizations – governments, firms,
labor unions, and nonprofits. The typical manuscript will be about
20,000-30,000 words, written in an accessible format. It could focus on a
single case, compare cases, or present accessible statistical analyses.

These mini-books are distinct from review essays or various excellent handbooks
that provide authoritative literature reviews on a given topic. Our focus is to
present evidence and analysis on organizational response to climate change in
order to understand both the strengths and limitations of the organization’s
climate strategies.
Given the nature of the topic, we welcome submissions from scholars from any
discipline, including natural and physical sciences, as long as they focus on
the organizational dimensions of climate change.

Please email your proposal (about 2,000 words) to the Series Editor Aseem
Prakash<http://aseemprakash.net/> (as...@uw.edu)
and/or the editor responsible for the subseries on Business, Government, or
Nonprofits:

[gep-ed] Deadlineline: January 15: The 2021 Annual Environmental Politics and Governance Conference

2021-01-14 Thread Aseem Prakash

Deadline: January 15, 2021

Call for Proposals

The 2021 Annual Environmental Politics and Governance Conference

Time and place: June 24–June 27, 2021, Voksenåsen hotel,
Oslo<https://voksenaasen.no/>

https://www.sv.uio.no/isv/english/research/news-and-events/events/2021/epg2021/index.html

The University of Oslo will host the 7th Annual Environmental Politics and
Governance Conference on June 24-27, 2021, building on the success of previous
conferences <https://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/?page_id=1542> in Seattle,
Zurich/Gerzensee, Bloomington, Stockholm, and Santa Barbara as well as the 2020
online
conference<https://www.sv.uio.no/isv/english/research/news-and-events/events/2020/epg2020/>.
We call for proposals for papers that address important or innovative research
with rigorous quantitative or qualitative research designs in all areas of
environmental politics and governance. The conference aims to showcase the best
empirical research on environmental politics and governance from across
relevant disciplines and to provide a venue for scholars to strengthen their
networks and shape future research directions.

It is probably fair to say that some previous EPG conferences have attracted
more quantitative than qualitative papers and more papers focusing on domestic
policy or politics than papers addressing international issues. Hoping to
obtain a balanced set of papers at the 2021 conference, we particularly
encourage proposals using a qualitative approach and of proposals focusing on
international issues. We emphasize, however, that quality will remain the
principal selection criterion.

Format

The conference will consist of presentations and discussions in a single
plenary session. We will accept proposals for standard research papers, as well
as for research designs or pre-analysis plans of ambitious projects that
involve primary data collection and that will be implemented in the near future.

The conference will feature a maximum of 32 papers/project plans. All
submissions will be double-blind reviewed by members of the international
steering committee. The conference chairs will rely on these reviews when
deciding on the final program, with additional attention paid to representing
the breadth of approaches and topics on the program. Please note that proposals
submitted or co-authored by members of the international steering committee
will undergo the exact same procedure. Participants are expected to provide
written comments on two other papers before the start of the conference.

Submission Process

Paper proposals should consist of electronic submission of an anonymous PDF
file with a detailed abstract (of no more than 1,000 words) outlining the
research question, theory, data, and methods, along with the contributions to
the field of environmental politics and governance. The abstract may include
one table or figure, as appropriate. We will consider works in progress only.
Please do not submit published, forthcoming, or accepted work. Proposals should
be submitted to mailto:epg-conf2...@stv.uio.no>> with
the subject “EPG Proposal”. Please list the author(s) in the body of the email
submission.

Timeline

1. Proposal submission deadline: January 15, 2021.

2. Notification of paper acceptance: March 1, 2021.

3. Arrival in Oslo (Voksenåsen): The afternoon of Thursday, June 24, 2021.

4. Conference begins: the evening of Thursday, June 24, 2021.

5. Organized panels: Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26, 2021.

6. Conference ends: the morning of Sunday, July 27, 2021.

Please also check the conference website for further updates on logistics in
early 2021.

Climate change is a defining issue of our times. The threat of its effects to 
humanity’s welfare is widely understood on a scientific level, even if not yet 
accepted by all members of the general public Some of these affected humans 
will turn to help from nonprofit and non-governmental organizations. Injuries 
or other immediate human needs create demands for short-term help, such as the 
role played by hundreds of nonprofit and faith-based “voluntary organizations 
active in disaster”. As extreme weather increases in frequency, demands on 
these organizations are already increasing.

Long-term assistance normally provided by nonprofits and NGOs will be in 
greater demand, such as in climate refugee relocation, job training, 
immigration assistance, education, and food assistance. Taking just healthcare 
as an example, a major employer of the U.S. nonprofit workforce, climate change 
will impact public health capacity over the long term through predicted 
increases in extreme heat, water and insect-borne infectious disease, 
wildfires, air pollution, injuries, and mental health needs.

In light of the shrinking of the public sphere and a vigorous discussion about 
governmental policy and market solutions to climate change, we do not hear much 
about civil society solutions, from the community-based to the cross-national, 
and how they might aid or impede other solutions. Given the structural and 
state-centered focus of most Climate discussions, it is not surprising that 
neither the Green New Deal nor President-Elect Biden’s Climate Plans clearly 
outline the role of the nonprofit sector to address the climate crisis.

There is an extensive but disparate literature on the role of the voluntary 
sector on environmental issues, addressing advocacy and social movement 
organizations, conservation organizations, nonprofits providing public and club 
goods such as parks foundations and mountaineering clubs, the social and racial 
justice elements of climate impact, and nonprofits addressing the effects of 
climate change through disaster response. This Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector 
Quarterly symposium seeks to address these topics collectively, in terms of how 
climate change impacts civil society organizations or how civil society 
organizations respond to climate change. Climate change in the “voluntaristics” 
literature is almost entirely used as a general framing device, without focused 
attention to its nature and impact on nonprofits.

  This symposium will be organized around questions such as:


1.   Among nonprofits dedicated to sustainability, conservation, and 
climate change mitigation,

 *   what are these organizations achieving, and what knowledge can be 
generated about their strategies and capacity needs?
 *   what are nonprofits providing in the nature of climate public goods 
through activities such as planting trees or advocating no-till farming?
 *   how is climate advocacy organized in different jurisdictions?
 *   to what extent have environmental organizations repurposed themselves 
as climate organizations?
 *   what strategies seem to work for climate advocacy?
 *   to what extent have climate movement mimicked the civil rights 
movement or the broader environmental movement in terms of its strategies, 
venue choices, and resource mobilization?
 *   under what conditions do climate organizations work across sectors, 
such as with business groups, on climate issues?
 *   What is the role of social media in promoting or impeding voluntary 
action on the climate front?
 *   What is the role of climate counter-movements in the policy process? 
To what extent populist movements have coopted climate issues on their agendas?
 *   The Sunrise Movement, Greta Thunberg, and the Juliana case reveal the 
vital contributions of youth-led initiatives. Does this type of youth activism 
have parallels in other nonprofit issue areas?


2.  Religious and faith-based nonprofits have played an important role in 
many social movements.

 *   To what extent are religious organizations contributing to climate 
movements?
 *   Progressive religious and faith-based organizations have publicly 
recognized their moral responsibility to call for action on global warming. 
Other religious organizations have vigorously denied the fact of climate 
change. How have any of these advocacy efforts fared?


3.  How have philanthropic foundations structured the climate

[gep-ed] The 2021 Annual Environmental Politics and Governance Conference

2020-11-11 Thread Aseem Prakash

Call for Proposals

The 2021 Annual Environmental Politics and Governance Conference

Time and place: June 24–June 27, 2021, Voksenåsen hotel,
Oslo<https://voksenaasen.no/>

https://www.sv.uio.no/isv/english/research/news-and-events/events/2021/epg2021/index.html

It is probably fair to say that some previous EPG conferences have attracted
more quantitative than qualitative papers and more papers focusing on domestic
policy or politics than papers addressing international issues. Hoping to
obtain a balanced set of papers at the 2021 conference, we particularly
encourage submission of proposals using a qualitative approach and of proposals
focusing on international issues. We emphasize, however, that quality will
remain the principal selection criterion.

Format

The conference will consist of presentations and discussion in a single plenary
session. We will accept proposals for standard research papers, as well as for
research designs or pre-analysis plans of ambitious projects that involve
primary data collection and that will be implemented in the near future.

Submission Process

Timeline

1. Proposal submission deadline: January 15, 2021.

2. Notification of paper acceptance: March 1, 2021.

3. Arrival in Oslo (Voksenåsen): The afternoon of Thursday, June 24, 2021.

4. Conference begins: the evening of Thursday, June 24, 2021.

5. Organized panels: Friday, June 25 and Saturday, June 26, 2021.

6. Conference ends: the morning of Sunday, July 27, 2021.

Please also check the conference website for further updates on logistics in
early 2021.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email:
Jon Hovi (jon.h...@stv.uio.no) or Tora Skodvin (tora.skod...@stv.uio.no)

[gep-ed] Environmental Politics and Governance (EPG) Online Seminar

2020-08-03 Thread Aseem Prakash

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to participate in a new webinar on environmental
politics and governance, called EPG Online. Building on the success of the
annual EPG conference (https://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/?page_id=1542),
EPG Online will be an online seminar series dedicated to showcasing the latest
research on the political, institutional, and societal dimensions of
environmental challenges from a variety of disciplines.

It remains unlikely that there will be a return to the usual speaker series and
conferences this year. Thus, we hope that EPG Online can serve as a great
meeting place for those interested in environmental politics and governance to
share cutting edge research and keep in touch with and meet colleagues
virtually.

If you are interested in presenting a paper this year, please complete this
form and upload your paper here: https://forms.gle/LstSAzg4ZV7xFvLH8
All submissions received before 24th August will receive full consideration for
presentation this year.

If you simply wish to attend you can sign up to our mailing list here:
https://forms.gle/Xxbckc3DYu2EefE67

Submissions from researchers at all career stages are welcome. We are committed
to fostering diversity within the field of environmental politics and
governance, and so particularly welcome submissions by individuals from
under-represented groups and locations.

Please circulate widely to other people who are interested in environmental
politics and governance! You can also follow us on twitter @OnlineEpg

Wishing you well in these tough times and hope to see you soon, even if
virtually.

[gep-ed] corporate climate commitments

2020-06-27 Thread Aseem Prakash



Hello friends:

Here are some recent commentaries on business attempts at climate leadership. 
For example, 
Amazon<https://www.linkedin.com/feed/hashtag/?keywords=amazon=urn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6682691269657030656>
 announced its latest climate investment, the purchase of the right to rename 
Seattle's Key Arena as the Climate Pledge Arena. The arena renaming 
announcement comes at an interesting time. Early this week, Amazon released its 
2020 Sustainability 
Report<https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2020/06/24/amazons-2019-sustainability-report-some-progress-but-critical-challenges-remain/#45d0e9ef6254>,
 where it noted a 15% increase in emissions since last year. Moreover, Amazon 
is getting bad press on COVID-19 and the firing of some employees affiliated 
with Amazon Employees for Climate Justice. So, what to make of Amazon's 
renaming exercise?

Subject: [gep-ed] Invitation to participate in the research survey ‘The BBNJ 
during the COVID-19 crisis’



-With apologies for cross-posting-



Dear all,



I hope this email finds you well. As some of you may know, I am PI of an ERC 
Starting Grant project on the BBNJ negotiation process 
(www.maripoldata.eu<http://www.maripoldata.eu>). One important pillar of the 
project is to study negotiations these marine biodiversity ethnographically. In 
order to be able to continue our research in the current situation and to 
contribute to keep the BBNJ momentum  we developed an online survey: 
https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/, which we are currently circulating to people 
interested/involved in BBNJ.



I would very much appreciate, if you could forward the invitation to your 
networks and fill out the survey in case you do follow/are involved in BBNJ. It 
only takes 6-7- minutes. Please also note that we have received a specific 
approval by the ethics committee of the ERC and also informed the UNCOALOS 
secretariat about this research activity.



I thank you very much in advance and I hope that you are all well.



Kind regards and greetings from Vienna



Alice (Vadrot)





Dear participant,



We would like to invite you to participate in the research survey 'The BBNJ 
during the COVID-19 crisis<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>', recently launched 
by MARIPOLDATA —The Politics of Marine Biodiversity Data, an ERC Starting Grant 
project. MARIPOLDATA is located at the University of Vienna, Austria, under the 
direction of Alice Vadrot (Department of Political Science).



The rapid spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to quarantine measures 
all around the world and resulted in the cancellation or postponement of a 
great number of global meetings.



The fourth conference on an international legally binding instrument under the 
United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea — on the conservation and 
sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national 
jurisdiction (BBNJ Instrument) — is no exception to this. It is not yet known 
when it will take place. This is bound to greatly affect the international 
agenda and strategies set for the ocean in 2020.



The purpose of this study is to assess how the COVID-19 outbreak is affecting 
the various parties working on the BBNJ Treaty and how it is impacting on the 
work and activities carried out towards the conclusion of an agreement.



This study is targeted at all actors working on the BBNJ Treaty. It takes no 
more than 6–7 minutes to complete the survey<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>, 
which is available in English. Any answers you provide are confidential and 
cannot be linked to you individually. Survey results will be used to write 
scientific articles. Deadline for participation is Sunday 17th May.



To complete the survey please click on the link: https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/



You can consult our webpage<https://www.maripoldata.eu/> to learn more about 
the MARIPOLDATA research project and contact the Principal Investigator, Dr 
Alice Vadrot (alice.vad...@univie.ac.a<mailto:alice.vad...@univie.ac.at>) at 
any time.



If you have any questions about the study or any difficulties accessing or 
completing the survey online, please feel free to contact Arne Langlet 
(maripoldata@univie.ac.at<mailto:maripoldata@univie.ac.at>).



It is essential that as many BBNJ stakeholders as possible participate. We 
would therefore be most grateful if you would help us disseminate this survey 
to colleagues.



I would like to thank you in advance for participating in this 
survey<https://bbnjsurvey.formr.org/>.



Kind wishes,



Alice Vadrot and Team

[gep-ed] Coronavirus And Global Supply Chain Disruption: A Wake-Up Call For Climate Policy?

2020-03-09 Thread Aseem Prakash

This short commentary might interest GEP folks:

Coronavirus And Global Supply Chain Disruption: A Wake-Up Call For Climate 
Policy?<https://www.forbes.com/sites/prakashdolsak/2020/03/07/coronavirus-and-global-supply-chain-disruption-a-wake-up-call-for-climate-policy/#3c77545d1161>


Coronavirus has slowed down economic activity and temporarily reduced China’s 
carbon emissions. However, there is a deeper implication for climate policy: 
decarbonization depends on global supply chains for inputs required for 
electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines.

What if these supply chains get disrupted? The consequences are serious when 
inputs come predominantly from a handful of countries. China is the leading 
supplier of “rare earth elements”, which gives it enormous power in the 
renewable energy market. For some critical 
minerals<https://earthjournalism.net/stories/the-dark-side-of-renewable-energy>,
 especially cobalt, the world relies on conflict-ridden and politically 
unstable countries, such as Congo, which again poses a problem for supply chain 
reliability. The bottom-line is that supply disruptions abroad can derail 
decarbonization at home

[gep-ed] 6th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and Governance University of Washington, Seattle May 13-15, 2020

2020-02-09 Thread Aseem Prakash

Application Deadline: Thursday, February 14, 2020

6th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop in Environmental Politics and
Governance
University of Washington, Seattle
May 13-15, 2020

On May 13-15, 2020, University of Washington’s Center for Environmental
Politics will organize the 6th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop for
doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and governance
(EPG). This follows on the successful workshops that the Center hosted in
previous years
(https://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/CEP-Workshop-Program0514.pdf)

The EPG Grad workshop provides a venue for doctoral students to present their
work, receive feedback, and network with others working on similar issues.

Objective:
Why the workshop?

Understanding the governance and political aspects of environmental issues is
critical for addressing the gamut of environmental challenges. The politics of
governance perhaps has become an even more critical factor in the changed
political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EPG research often makes it
hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods across relevant
disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop will help
overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue for doctoral
students to become active participants in the community of EPG scholars.

Expenses:

There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, namely
each participant’s food and shared hotel lodging (with two participants per
room) for three nights, May 13, 14, and 15.

Participants are responsible for travel expenses. The Center will, however,
purchase carbon offsets for all.

- an abstract (about 800 – 1,000 words) of a paper/dissertation chapter to be
emailed to mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Christianna
Parr, mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>).

- a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Christianna Parr,
mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>>)

The deadline for submission is February 14, 2020.

Timeline:

* February 14-28, 2020: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.
* March 1, 2020: Participants are formally invited.
* May 5, 2020: Participants email their papers to
mailto:envir...@uw.edu>> (and copy Christianna Parr,
parr...@uw.edu<mailto:cparr...@uw.edu>), details to follow.
* Wednesday, May 13, 2020: Participants arrive; Career and Job Market Panel
(Walker-Ames Room) in the afternoon followed by the Welcome dinner.
* Thursday, May 14, 2020: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo
Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.
* Friday, May 15, 2020: Full day Workshop in the Smith Room (Suzallo
Library, University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner.
* Saturday, May 16, 2020: Departure.

The University of Oslo, Department of Political Science, will host the 6th
Annual Environmental Politics and Governance Conference on June 25-28, 2020,
building on the success of previous conferences in
Seattle<http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Wesley2015_Brochure.pdf>,

Zurich<http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/EPG_2016_Conference_Program.pdf>/Gerzensee,
Bloomington<https://oneill.indiana.edu/doc/research/epg-schedule06122017.pdf>,
Stockholm<https://www.statsvet.su.se/om-oss/evenemang/epg2018/conference-program>,
and Santa Barbara<http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/epg2019.htm>. We call for proposals
for papers that address important or innovative research with rigorous
quantitative or qualitative research designs in all areas of environmental
politics and governance. The main goals of the conference are to showcase the
best empirical research on environmental politics and governance from across
relevant disciplines and to provide a venue for scholars to strengthen their
networks and shape future research directions.

It is probably fair to say that some previous EPG conferences have attracted
more quantitative than qualitative papers and more papers focusing on domestic
policy or politics than papers addressing international issues. Hoping to
obtain a balanced set of papers at the 2020 conference, we particularly call
for more proposals of papers using a qualitative approach and more proposals
focusing on international research questions. We emphasize, however, that
quality will remain the principal selection criterion.

Format

The conference will feature a maximum of 40 papers/project plans. All
submissions will first be double-blind reviewed by members of the international
steering committee. The conference chairs will rely on these reviews when
deciding on the final program, with additional attention paid to representing
the breadth of approaches and topics on the program.

Note: Proposals by members of the international steering committee will undergo
the same procedure.

Submission Process

Paper proposals should consist of electronic submission of an anonymous PDF
file with a detailed abstract (of no more than 1,000 words) outlining the
research question, theory, data, and methods, along with the contributions to
the field of environmental politics and governance. The abstract may include
one table or figure, as appropriate. We will consider works in progress only.
Please do not submit published, forthcoming, or accepted work. Proposals should
be submitted to epg-conf2...@stv.uio.no<mailto:epg-conf2...@stv.uio.no> with
the subject “EPG Proposal”. Please list the author(s) in the body of the email
submission.

Timeline

1. Proposal submission deadline: January 15, 2019.

2. Notification of paper acceptance: February 20, 2019.

3. Arrival in Oslo (Kleivstua): June 25, 2019.

4. Conference begins: the evening of Thursday, June 25, 2019.

5. Organized panels: Friday, June 26 and Saturday June 27, 2019.

6. Conference ends: the morning of Sunday, June 28, 2019.

[gep-ed] Proposals Welcome on the Politics of Climate Change 2020

2019-09-09 Thread Aseem Prakash

Message from Richard Clucas, Western Political Science Association

Proposals Welcome on the Politics of Climate Change 2020

The 2019 Annual Meeting of the Western Political Science Association was one of
the largest and most dynamic in its history. Generating much of the interest
was the conference’s timely theme on “The Politics of Climate Change." In
total, there were some 26 panels throughout the conference focusing directly on
climate change, along with numerous individual papers and special events.

If you conduct research related to the politics of climate change, the WPSA
would like to invite you back again to next year’s conference in Los Angeles.
While the main theme of the conference has changed, it is important to the WPSA
that it continues to provide a forum for discussion on this topic. Given the
dire threats associated with climate change, this is an issue that demands the
attention of political scientists. Please consider joining us to continue the
scholarly conversation.

I am sending you this note now because the deadline for proposals will be
coming up shortly (September 20). As with last year, proposals for complete
panels as well as individual papers are welcome. Proposals in all subfields are
welcome. Details about the conference, its theme, the Call for Papers, and
proposal instructions are available on the WPSA website:
www.wpsanet.org.

The conference will be held at the J.W. Marriott at L.A. Live in Los Angeles,
California, from April 9 to 11, 2020.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

[gep-ed] Public Administration Review's blog (Bully Pulpit) symposium on, The Green New Deal: Pathways to a Low Carbon Economy

2019-07-16 Thread Aseem Prakash

Dear colleagues:

We are pleased to announce the publication of the open-access Public
Administration Review's blog (Bully Pulpit) symposium on,

<https://www.publicadministrationreview.com/the-green-new-deal-pathways-to-a-low-carbon-economy/>The
Green New Deal: Pathways to a Low Carbon
Economy<https://www.publicadministrationreview.com/the-green-new-deal-pathways-to-a-low-carbon-economy/>

(https://www.publicadministrationreview.com/the-green-new-deal-pathways-to-a-low-carbon-economy/)

This symposium features 26 commentaries (with women as authors or co-authors on
14) and an introductory essay. We had put out a call for
submission<http://faculty.washington.edu/aseem/par-gnd.pdf> for commentaries
(maximum 1,000 words) that examine various dimensions of the transition to the
low carbon economy. These selected commentaries summarize existing research or
report on new research. All commentaries are written in an accessible style;
references, tables, and appendices are provided as links embedded in the text.

Broadly, these commentaries distill lessons from across the world in designing
and implementing climate policies. The authors, located across eight countries,
bring vastly diverse perspectives. They reflect the wisdom of multiple
disciplines, including business strategy, economics, energy, and environmental
policy, geochemistry, geography, geology, philosophy, political science,
psychology, public policy and administration, and sociology.

This symposium should prove valuable to both academics and policy
practitioners. It could be used for research as well as for teaching. We hope
this PAR blog symposium will advance the policy discussion on the Green New
Deal, and more broadly, on the challenges and opportunities as the world seeks
to make a transition to a low carbon economy.

<https://www.publicadministrationreview.com/>Public Administration Review
(PAR)<https://www.publicadministrationreview.com/> is the flagship journal of
the American Society for Public Administration with an Impact factor of 4.591.
Google Scholar Ranks it as #1in the “Public Policy and Administration
category.” The 2017 ISI Journal Citation Reports also ranks PAR as the top
journal in the field of public administration. We want to thank PAR
co-editors-in-chief, R. Paul Battaglio and Jeremy L. Hall for supporting this
project.

Regards,

Nives Dolsak & Aseem Prakash

Re: [gep-ed] fyi

2019-07-08 Thread Aseem Prakash

nce in total air travel emissions between researchers 
they characterized as “Green” (those who study topics related to environmental 
sustainability) and “Not-green.” (See Seth Wynes, Simon D. Donner, Steuart 
Tannason, Noni Nabors, “Academic air travel has a limited influence on 
professional success,” Journal of Cleaner Production, Vol. 226, No. 20, 2019: 
959-967<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959652619311862#!>.)


Another just-published article by a team of researchers at the University of 
Adelaide studied academic air travel—also among academics at their home 
institution. The authors were particularly interested between institutional 
pressures for academics to fly and their university’s formal commitment to 
sustainability. Drawing on a one-year qualitative study, they found that, while 
many academics are worried about climate change, only a small number are 
willing to fly less for fear of damaging their careers. The authors conclude 
that institutional and political shifts are needed to bring about individual 
changes in behavior on a large scale. (See Melissa Nursey-Bray, Robert Palmer, 
Bride Meyer-Mclean, Thomas Wanner, & Cris Birzer, “The Fear of Not Flying: 
Achieving Sustainable Academic Plane Travel in Higher Education Based on 
Insights from South Australia,” Sustainability, Vol. 11, No. 9, 2019:

Has the GND label become a taboo even among climate action supporters? We 
looked at U.S. Congress co-sponsors and 50 top environmental organizations. We 
find House members from safe liberal districts sponsor it and a handful of 
environmental organizations endorse it.

[gep-ed] final call: Deadline, May 1 THE GREEN NEW DEAL: PATHWAYS TO A LOW CARBON ECONOMY

2019-04-30 Thread Aseem Prakash

FINAL CALL

Deadline: May 1, 2019

Call for Contributions

Public Administration Review’s Blog (Bully Pulpit) Symposium:

THE GREEN NEW DEAL: PATHWAYS TO A LOW CARBON ECONOMY

Guest Editors

Nives Dolšak

School of Marine and Environmental Affairs, University of Washington, Seattle

Aseem Prakash

Department of Political Science and the Center for Environmental Politics

University of Washington, Seattle

Objective and Rationale

In 2007, Thomas Friedman called for the Green New
Deal<https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/19/opinion/19friedman.html?module=inline>.
In 2010 report prepared for the United Nations Environment Program, Edward
Barbier outlined a plan for a Global Green New
Deal<https://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/economics/natural-resource-and-environmental-economics/global-green-new-deal-rethinking-economic-recovery?format=PB>.
But the idea of a Green New Deal captured popular imagination when Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) formally
presented the Green New Deal resolution to the US Congress (House Resolution
109<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/109/text> &
Senate Resolution
59<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-resolution/59>) in 2019.
Their Green New Deal (GND) proposal outlines an ambitious vision to transform
America into a low carbon economy alongside addressing equity and justice
issues. Several 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls have endorsed it fully
while others have endorsed it in spirit. The GND also has its critics. Speaker
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has shrugged it off as a "green dream." Virtually, all
Republican leaders have opposed it. They have dubbed it as socialist,
un-American, and so on.

Very few dispute that climate change is real and requires urgent attention. The
recent IPCC report and the US Federal Climate
Assessment<https://www.noaa.gov/news/new-federal-climate-assessment-for-us-released>
paint a grim picture of climate change. Yet, climate policy remains a
polarizing issue. Moreover, under the Trump Administration, the US has
withdrawn from the Paris Agreement. It seeks to roll back the Clean Power Plan
and dilute the fuel economy standards. But even at the global level, climate
policies are facing a political challenge. Carbon emissions increased in 2018
and countries continue to invest in coal. Rural France has violently protested
against a carbon tax. Political leaders in Australia and Brazil seem to have
abandoned their countries' Paris pledges.

In the absence of federal leadership on climate policy, US States have emerged
as climate leaders. But even climate leaders face challenges. California has
canceled the high-speed rail project linking San Francisco with Los Angles
citing cost overruns. Washington state voted down citizen initiatives for a
carbon tax in 2016 and again in 2018. Even Seattle, whose Mayor took the
leadership role in founding the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in 2005,
is witnessing rising carbon emissions.

Given these policy challenges, this blog symposium will feature short,
1,000-word commentaries that examine both the successes and failures in the
transition to a low carbon economy. Given the short time frame for climate
action, which GND elements should be prioritized for implementation and why?
Which administrative units ought to take the lead? What sorts of policy
instruments should be employed? How will it be financed? What is the role of
firms and nonprofits in the GND rollout? How can non-climate goals get
incorporated in climate policies?

Given the expansive vision for GND, all policy scholars and practitioners are
invited to explore how their work and expertise might relate to GND, and more
broadly to the transition to a low carbon economy. The commentaries could
address issues such as (but not limited to) the following:

* What sort of administrative structures are required to implement GND? To
what extent is the experience of FDR’s New Deal relevant? Might the creation of
the Department of Homeland Security, a more recent case of administrative
innovation in response to 9/11, offer a template on how to think (or not think)
about the administrative challenges in the policy translation of the GND?

* Which specific elements of the GND can be implemented in the next 10
years, in what sequence, and why?

* How might the GND at the state and city level look like if the federal
government supports it? What if it remains uninterested in implementing it?
What new policies might these subnational units adopt, beyond what they are
already doing so? How will they fund them given that unlike the federal
government, they cannot run sustained levels of budget deficits?

Objective and Rationale

In 2007, Thomas Friedman called for the Green New Deal<https://www.nytimes.=
com/2007/01/19/opinion/19friedman.html?module=3Dinline>. In 2010 report pre=
pared for the United Nations Environment Program, Edward Barbier outlined a=
 plan for a Global Green New Deal<https://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/sub=
jects/economics/natural-resource-and-environmental-economics/global-green-n=
ew-deal-rethinking-economic-recovery?format=3DPB>. But the idea of a Green =
New Deal captured popular imagination when Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D=
-N.Y.) and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) formally presented the Green New De=
al resolution to the US Congress (House Resolution 109<https://www.congress=
.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/109/text> & Senate Resolution 59<=
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-resolution/59>) in 2019=
. Their Green New Deal (GND) proposal outlines an ambitious vision to trans=
form America into a low carbon economy alongside addressing equity and just=
ice issues. Several 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls have endorsed it =
fully while others have endorsed it in spirit. The GND also has its critics=
. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has shrugged it off as a "green dream." V=
irtually, all Republican leaders have opposed it. They have dubbed it as so=
cialist, un-American, and so on.



Very few dispute that climate change is real and requires urgent attention.=
 The recent IPCC report and the US Federal Climate Assessment<https://www.n=
oaa.gov/news/new-federal-climate-assessment-for-us-released> paint a grim p=
icture of climate change. Yet, climate policy remains a polarizing issue. M=
oreover, under the Trump Administration, the US has withdrawn from the Pari=
s Agreement. It seeks to rollback the Clean Power Plan and dilute the fuel =
economy standards. But even at the global level, climate policies are facin=
g a political challenge. Carbon emissions increased in 2018 and countries c=
ontinue to invest in coal. Rural France has violently protested against a c=
arbon tax.  Political leaders in Australia and Brazil seem to have abandone=
d their countries' Paris pledges.



In the absence of federal leadership on climate policy, US States have emer=
ged as climate leaders. But even climate leaders face challenges. Californi=
a has canceled the high-speed rail project linking San Francisco with Los A=
ngles citing cost overruns. Washington state voted down citizen initiatives=
 for a carbon tax in 2016 and again in 2018. Even Seattle, whose Mayor took=
 the leadership role in founding the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement=
 in 2005, is witnessing rising carbon emissions.



Given these policy challenges, this blog symposium will feature short, 1,00=
0-word commentaries that examine both the successes and failures in the tra=
nsition to a low carbon economy. Given the short time frame for climate act=
ion, which GND elements should be prioritized for implementation and why?  =
Which administrative units ought to take the lead? What sorts of policy ins=
truments should be employed? How will it be financed? What is the role of f=
irms and nonprofits in the GND rollout? How can non-climate goals get incor=
porated in climate policies?



Given the expansive vision for GND, all policy scholars and practitioners a=
re invited to explore how their work and expertise might relate to GND, and=
 more broadly to the transition to a low carbon economy. The commentaries c=
ould address issues such as (but not limited to) the following:



  *   What sort of administrative structures are required to implement GND?=
 To what extent is the experience of FDR=E2=80=99s New Deal relevant? Might=
 the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, a more recent case of=
 administrative innovation in response to 9/11, offer a template on how to =
think (or not think) about the administrative challenges in the policy tran=
slation of the GND?

  *   Which specific elements of the GND can be implemented in the next 10 =
years, in what sequence, and why?


  *   How might the GND at the state and city level look like if the federa=
l government supports it? What if it remains uninterested in implementing i=
t? What new policies might these subnational units adopt, beyond what they =
are already doing so? How will they fund them given that unlike the federal=
 government, they cannot run sustained levels of budget deficits?

Hello everybody,


We published this piece this piece today, "Climate scientists have a moral =
responsibility to lead by example":

https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/433222-climate-scientists-ha=
ve-a-moral-responsibility-to-lead-by-example


In the course of drafting piece, we have connected with several scholars wh=
o share these concerns. We have also realized that several universities and=
 institutes are engaged in conversations about how academics might/should l=
ead by example on climate issues.


Here are some examples:

5th Annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop on Environmental Politics and Gove=
rnance
Center for Environmental Politics
University of Washington, Seattle
May 15-17, 2019


Submission Deadline: February 15, 2019.

On May 15-17, 2019, UW=E2=80=99s Center for Environmental Politics will org=
anize the 5th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
for doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and gov=
ernance
(EPG). This follows on the highly successful workshop that the Center hoste=
d in
previous years: <http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/20=
18/05/2018%20CEP_Workshop_Program.pdf>

The annual EPG Grad workshop provides a venue for doctoral students to pres=
ent their
work, receive feedback, and network with others working on similar issues. =
We
will invite select faculty from the University of Washington to serve as re=
source persons.

Objective:
Why the workshop? Understanding the governance and political aspects of
environmental issues is critical for addressing the gamut of environmental
challenges. The politics of governance perhaps has become an even more crit=
ical
factor in the changed political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EP=
G
research often makes it hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods
across relevant disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Worksh=
op
will help overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue fo=
r
doctoral students to become active participants in the community of EPG
scholars.

Expenses:
There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, name=
ly
each participant=E2=80=99s food and shared hotel lodging (with two particip=
ants per
room) for three nights, May 15, 16, and 17.

Participants are responsible for travel expenses.
The Center will, however, purchase carbon offsets for all participants.


Application Logistics:
This workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made
substantial progress in their graduate studies: that is, they are able to
present a fully developed empirical paper. Applicants need to submit:

- an abstract (about 800 =E2=80=93 1,000 words) of a paper to be emailed to=
 Hanjie Wang .

- a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to Hanjie W=
ang .

The deadline for submission is February 15, 2019.



Timeline:
-February 15-27, 2019: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.

-March 1, 2019: Participants are formally invited.

-May 5, 2019: Participants email their papers to Hanjie Wang 

-Wednesday, May 15, 2019: Participants arrive; a plenary session in the Wal=
ker-Ames Room, Kane Hall,
Welcome dinner.

-Thursday, May 16, 2019: Full day Workshop in the Petersen Room (Allen Libr=
ary,
University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner

-Friday, May 17, 2019: Full day Workshop in the Petersen Room (Allen Librar=
y,
University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner

-Saturday, May 18, 2019: Departure.


The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique ev=
ent
focused on furthering graduate training and education. Should you have any
questions, feel free to email Aseem Prakash; as...@uw.edu.

[gep-ed] 5th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop on Environmental Politics and Governance, May 15-17, 2019, Seattle

2019-01-16 Thread Aseem Prakash

May 15-17, 2019



On May 15-17, 2019, UW=E2=80=99s Center for Environmental Politics will org=
anize the 5th annual Duck Family Graduate Workshop
for doctoral students working in the area of environmental politics and gov=
ernance
(EPG). This follows on the highly successful workshop that the Center hoste=
d in
previous years: <http://depts.washington.edu/envirpol/wp-content/uploads/20=
18/05/2018%20CEP_Workshop_Program.pdf>

The annual EPG Grad workshop provides a venue for doctoral students to pres=
ent their
work, receive feedback, and network with others working on similar issues. =
We
will invite select faculty from the University of Washington to serve as re=
source persons.



Objective:

Why the workshop? Understanding the governance and political aspects of
environmental issues is critical for addressing the gamut of environmental
challenges. The politics of governance perhaps has become an even more crit=
ical
factor in the changed political milieu. The multi-disciplinary nature of EP=
G
research often makes it hard to share ideas, concepts, and research methods
across relevant disciplines. We hope the annual Duck Family Graduate Worksh=
op
will help overcome these barriers and provide a multi-disciplinary venue fo=
r
doctoral students to become active participants in the community of EPG
scholars.


Expenses:

There are no workshop fees and the Center will pay for local expenses, name=
ly
each participant=E2=80=99s food and shared hotel lodging (with two particip=
ants per
room) for three nights, May 15, 16, and 17.

Participants are responsible for travel expenses.
The Center will, however, purchase carbon offsets for all participants.



Application Logistics:

This workshop will be most useful for doctoral students who have made
substantial progress in their graduate studies: that is, they are able to
present a fully developed empirical paper. Applicants need to submit:

- an abstract (about 800 =E2=80=93 1,000 words) of a paper to be emailed to=
 Hanjie Wang .

- a letter of support from their graduate advisor to be emailed to Hanjie W=
ang .

The deadline for submission is February 15, 2019.



Timeline:

-February 15-27, 2019: Center faculty evaluate the proposals.

-March 1, 2019: Participants are formally invited.

-May 5, 2019: Participants email their papers to Hanjie Wang 

-Wednesday, May 15, 2019: Participants arrive; a plenary session in the Wal=
ker-Ames Room, Kane Hall,
Welcome dinner.

-Thursday, May 16, 2019: Full day Workshop in the Petersen Room (Allen Libr=
ary,
University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner

-Friday, May 17, 2019: Full day Workshop in the Petersen Room (Allen Librar=
y,
University of Washington, Seattle) followed by dinner

-Saturday, May 18, 2019: Departure.


The Center for Environmental Politics is excited to organize this unique ev=
ent
focused on furthering graduate training and education. Should you have any
questions, feel free to email Aseem Prakash; as...@uw.edu.

2020 presidential 
election<https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/423776-climate-movement-should-focus-on-how-to-win-2020-presidential>.


We suggest that the movement should champion a pragmatic climate agenda that 
can create a winning coalition in 2020. It should draw appropriate lessons from 
the

defeat of the carbon tax initiatives in the state of Washington in 2016 and 
again in 2018.

[gep-ed] Re: WPSA conference theme: The Politics of Climate Change

2018-08-24 Thread aseem




Here is a piece on the "Politics of climate change adaptation" forthcoming in 
the Annual Review of Environment and Resource:
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/325607009_The_Politics_of_Climate_Change_Adaptation
(pls email me if you need the PDF version).

Regarding fires in the American/Canadian West, we published this blog on August 
22:
http://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/403093-seattles-smoky-summers-are-becoming-the-new-normal

We suggest that all actors need to think of climate adaptation even as they 
work towards mitigation. Forest fires afflicting Western US and Canada have 
distinct transboundary character. Given their scale, tackling them is perhaps 
beyond the capacity of any given state; a regional approach is needed. 
Importantly, we need bipartisanship and explore collaborative 
business-NGO-government arrangements. The desire for the perfect should not 
become the enemy of the practical.

[gep-ed] Postdoc position in Stockholm

2018-04-18 Thread aseem






Dear all,

Stockholm University and the Department of Political Science has a call out for 
a two-year postdoc position with the project “The Great Green Transformation - 
Politics, Markets and Civic Society in the Anthropocene (GREENTRANS)”. Deadline 
for applications is May 2nd.


The project is funded by the Marcus and Marianne Wallenberg Foundation with 
Professor Andreas Duit as principal investigator and Professors Aseem Prakash 
(University of Washington) and Thomas Bernauer (ETH Zürich) as 
co-investigators.

 
We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in 
quantitative methods. A background in either environmental politics, 
comparative politics, or policy studies research is a merit but not a 
requirement. Additional merits include capacity to work in a cross-national 
team of researchers and to communicate research findings to wider audiences 
beyond academia.


See link for more information about the position and instructions for how to 
apply: https://www.su.se/english/about/working-at-su/jobs?rmpage=job=4830=UK


I am happy to answer questions about the project or the position.

[gep-ed] The Oxfam scandal shows that, yes, nonprofits can behave badly. So why aren’t they overseen like for-profits? (fwd)

2018-02-19 Thread aseem




Colleagues:

Several scholars on this list study nonprofits/NGOs and have written on 
governance failures. The article
we published on the Oxfam scandal in the Washington Post/Monkey Cage Today 
might interest them:
The Oxfam scandal shows that, yes, nonprofits can behave badly. So why aren’t 
they overseen like for-profits?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2018/02/19/the-oxfam-scandal-shows-that-yes-nonprofits-can-behave-badly-so-why-arent-they-overseen-like-for-profits/?utm_term=.2c52a0e35df4

The civic sector plays an important role in the contemporary society.Yet, the 
Oxfam scandal (and other scandals that are now getting revealed as well as the 
cover-up at Oxfam since 2011 of the Haiti episode) raises serious questions 
about our theoretical understanding of the NGO/nonprofit sector. 

Yes, this is not the first scandal. Nevertheless, if a moral leader such as 
Oxfam has serious governance failures, we should seriously examine our 
conception of the NGO/NPO sector -- with the intent to reform it. To do so, we 
need to study both the successes and failures of NPO/NGO governance.

[gep-ed] the politics of carbon tax

2018-02-13 Thread aseem





Colleagues:

We published this short piece today on the politics of carbon tax:

http://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/373664-the-key-to-a-successful-carbon-tax-is-how-you-spend-the-money

It seems the real issue is not about how high the tax should be. The conflict 
is over how and where to spend the tax money. To examine the politics of carbon 
pork, we compare three carbon tax proposals, all from Washington state: the 
2018 carbon tax proposed by Governor Jay Inslee, a counter proposal by 
Washington Land Commissioner Hilary Franz, and I-732.

Bottom line:
The carbon tax saga reveals a new inconvenient truth: Interest groups are 
mobilized if the tax can be used to fund their favored projects. To figure out 
the politics of carbon tax, follow the money.


Thanks,
