[gep-ed] ISA Panel - Keeping it in the Ground

[Harrison, Kathryn]

Hi everyone,

I am interested in assembling a panel of papers for next year’s ISA examining 
the politics of upstream opposition to fossil fuels, aka the “keep it in the 
ground” movement.  I’m doing some work on opposition to coal ports on the US 
and Canadian west coasts, and I can imagine interesting comparisons to 
anti-pipeline campaigns as well as opposition to coal ports, shale oil 
development, fracking and LNG.

Please contact me directly if you’re interested.

Best,
Kathy

[gep-ed] Databases of Business GHG Emissions

[Detlef Sprinz]

Dear colleagues,

I wish to draw on your experience with business-related emissions, 
specifically the size of GHG emissions of larger companies globally.  
While I am aware of a few sources, I have no experience with their 
quality.  Ideally, I would like to learn


- Which standardized databases are available?
- Which is the scope of the database in terms of capturing the top 100 
to 500+ business emitters in terms of total GHG emissions (CO2 equivalents)?

- Are time series data available (or not)?
- What is your experience with the quality of data across databases?

In essence, I would like to see which scope of business we would need to 
match medium-sized countries in terms of share of global GHG emissions.


Please send your suggestions directly to me, and I will share a summary 
with the list.


Many thanks,
Detlef

[gep-ed] ISA panel proposal - valuation and environmental governance

[Hayley Stevenson]

Dear colleagues,

If anyone would like to join a panel about environmental valuation in
global environmental governance please let me know. Possible themes might
include:

- conceptual papers about value, natural capital or ecosystem services
- political uptake of valuation techniques (e.g., natural capital
accounting)
- policy diffusion of monetary valuation and related mechanisms
- resistance to monetary valuation of nature and related mechanisms (e.g.
biodiversity offsets)
- private authority and nature valuation

James Meadowcroft and I are currently leading a project on Valuing Nature
for Sustainable Development and a Green Economy ,
and I'd be keen to connect at ISA with others interested in such themes.

Best wishes
Hayley

[gep-ed] Panel proposal - urban politics and global change

[Paul Steinberg]

Dear GEPers,

I would like to put together a panel on efforts at political and
institutional reform in urban settings as these relate to global
environmental problems.  This could include local struggles/innovations
with alternative energy, active transportation, food systems, water
management, biodiversity, or other issues.

I am particularly eager to learn what theoretical perspectives might be
paired with empirical work to help us better understand the politics of
urban change and to make meaningful comparisons across political units and
across environmental issues.  Most environmental research on "the local"
has emphasized local commons in rural settings.  How about cities?  Regime
theory has surely run its course within urban studies.  Are there promising
theoretical approaches in fields like cultural geography, sociology, or in
various corners of political science and policy theory, such as federalism
and multilevel governance?

If interested please email me as soon as possible so that we can put
together a panel in time for the June 1 deadline.

With best wishes,

Paul

Subject: Call for Abstracts: Deconstructing Participatory Climate
Governance: Innovation or Business as Usual? (deadline: 30 June 2017)
To:


Dear friends,

I am co-organizing a fully-funded workshop with the theme of
“Deconstructing Participatory Climate Governance: Innovation or Business as
Usual?”, to be held at Science Po Bordeaux in France on 26 and 27 October.
The objective of the workshop is to discuss the role of participation in
bringing about experimentation and innovation in climate change governance.
We welcome theoretical papers, methodological papers, and empirical studies
or combinations thereof, and invite abstracts that discuss and examine
participation and climate mitigation and/or adaptation. I ask that
abstracts be sent to me by 30 June.

I have attached a PDF of the call for abstracts here. Thank you in advance
for sharing this widely. Please let me know if you have any questions, or
you can visit the website

.

All the best,
Eric
