1	Quantifying the potential for consumer-oriented policy to reduce European and foreign carbon emissions Moran, Daniel, Wood, Richard, Hertwich, Edgar, Mattson, Kim, Rodriguez, Joao F.D., Schanes, Karin, Barrett, John January 2018 (has links) (PDF) The EU Carbon-CAP project assembled a comprehensive portfolio of consumer initiatives in order to assess the potential total impact of consumer options on national carbon footprints. Existing evaluations of behavioural change have focused primarily on direct energy reductions, typically in households and buildings. However, changes in consumer demand have deeper impacts via their upstream supply chains. The consumer behaviour options considered in the portfolio focus on green household initiatives. Combining existing micro-level studies with a multiregional input-output economic model, we estimated the potential efficacy and uptake of each behaviour across the European Union (EU). The results suggest that adopting these consumer options could reduce carbon footprints by approximately 25%. While 75% of this is delivered as reductions in emissions within Europe, one-quarter of the effect is delivered as a reduced imported carbon footprint, due to changes in the composition of imports.
2	Uganda's Response to Climate Change as a Global Crisis : A Perspective of Global Politics with Evidence from the Karamoja Sub Region of North Eastern Uganda Onyok, Howard January 2022 (has links) The study focused on the risks and effects climate change posed in Karamoja Sub region in North Eastern Uganda with attention on adaptation and mitigation strategies used in combating the effects and risks of climate change. Climate change policies, innovations aimed at decreasing the consequences and risks of climate change, climate risk assessment, and the effects of Uganda's climate change responses were all presented as study questions. A qualitative research design was used in the study, which included assessment of documentary sources as well as interviews. It was revealed that Uganda has implemented many policies related to climate change, according to a thorough analysis and presentation; however, a closer examination pointed that a number of policies were ineffective and did not directly address the issues of climate change. Several innovations for mitigating the consequences and hazards of climate change were also used though were insufficient. The report acknowledged that climate risk assessments were being conducted with little success and the responses had achieved some level of success in mitigating climate change's effects. Uganda government, as well as other non-governmental working groups on climate change, should step up the efforts in terms of tangible responses in the fight against global warming if the struggle against climate change is to be won.
