Job description- Postdoctoral researchers

Professor Peter Newell is looking to hire two postdoctoral researchers (PDRAs) 
for four years each to work on a UKRI Frontier Research Grant (formerly an ERC 
Advanced Grant) looking at the political dynamics of supply-side climate 
policies. These are policies being adopted to limit the production and supply 
of fossil fuels such as bans, moratoria, phase-out policies and subsidy 
removals that are being adopted by a growing number of countries around the 
world. The project seeks to understand where these policies are being adopted, 
how and by whom and what can be done internationally to support their wider 
adoption.

The PDRAs will be expected to conduct fieldwork in 'first mover' countries to 
understand these dynamics and to contribute to both the theoretical elements of 
the project and the forward-looking scenario work on possible futures for 
supply-side policies. The selection of countries the PDRA will be expected to 
work in will depend on final case selection and the language and research 
skills of the successful applicants.

The research will involve conducting semi-structured interviews (at least 20 in 
each country) in collaboration with the PI with key actors involved in the 
decision-making process around the adoption of supply-side policies. This will 
include a range of government officials from different government departments, 
representatives from business and civil society organisations and international 
actors active in the country (such as donors, banks, business and civil society 
associations).

In addition to conducting fieldwork, the PDRAs will be expected to:

  *   help organise and analyse the data and contribute to research papers for 
publication
  *   conduct literature reviews
  *   present the research at academic conferences and policy and activist 
facing events
  *   contribute to the scenarios on future pathways to supply-side adoption in 
'second mover' countries
  *   contribute to the management of the project, meetings and reporting of 
activities

Please contact Peter Newell 
(p.j.new...@sussex.ac.uk<mailto:p.j.new...@sussex.ac.uk>) for informal 
enquiries.

[gep-ed] Re: Letter to ISA to enhance support to virtual participation

2021-05-28 Thread Peter Newell

Dear Colleagues

Firstly, thanks for the positive support for our letter to the ISA about 
supporting virtual participation at its conferences.

Secondly, we have made some minor amendments in light of comments and feedback 
from some of you. The new text is below and can be found 
here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VziLUPESm1i093AifS1PLhgVHsKOshWyftzm309gtpY/edit>
 if you want to check that you are still happy to be listed as a signatory.

The changes we made were: (i) making this an open call and not just from the 
ESS community since others are keen to support this and we plan to share it 
with other groups (ii) changing the opening statement to be less accusatory of 
ISA for inaction to date (to avoid generating a defensive response) and just 
stating what we think needs to happen  and (iii) listing some of the other 
exclusions that occur as a result of insisting on attending in person on the 
basis of suggestions from some of you.

If you are happy with these minor changes, no need to do anything.

Thanks and best wishes

Peter and Prakash


REVISED LETTER

To the ISA secretariat

We are writing to you as members of the ISA with regard to the issue of virtual 
participation in ISA conferences and events.

We request that the ISA enhances its efforts to support online participation in 
its conferences. We would like to emphasise why we believe proper support for 
virtual participation is important. These reasons include:

(i) Health concerns: in a context of Covid and likely future 
pandemics, as a result of the probable increase in other zoonotic diseases 
exacerbated by the accelerated devastation of the natural world, convening 
large gatherings of people from different parts of the world is unlikely to be 
a viable model for future conferences.

(ii)Environmental impacts of unnecessary travel: one of the 
greatest contributions we could make as scholars to reducing the environmental 
impact of our behaviour is to greatly reduce the amount we fly. Many 
universities are developing travel policies which restrict air travel given its 
contribution to a range of environmental and health problems and so we urge the 
ISA to enable participation of scholars keen to engage, but who wish to live 
more sustainable lives.

(iii)   Diversity and inclusion: Greater provision of virtual 
participation can enable more participation from southern scholars who often do 
not have budget for flights and travel to North America- or face visa 
restrictions in getting there. This is a key moment to diversify (and 
decolonise) our discipline and actively supporting wider participation is 
morally important- and makes financial sense. It is also the case that due to 
caring responsibilities, or lack of access to travel funds for early career or 
independent scholars, many other members of our community are excluded from 
participation by an insistence on being physically present.

We realise some of these issues have been raised before with ISA pre-Covid. But 
given emerging platforms for effective online engagement that Covid has forced 
the academic community to develop, we believe this is a key moment for the ISA 
to show leadership in broadening access to its conferences while reducing the 
environmental impacts of hosting them. While recognising the scholarly and 
networking value of hosting such events, new hybrid models of engagement where 
the face to face element is reduced look set to be the new norm. The sooner ISA 
adapts to this, or preferably leads the way, the better.

We do not underestimate the financial and logistical challenges of changing the 
nature of ISA conferences to enable hybrid models of participation. But equally 
we believe the association has a duty of care to its members and a 
responsibility to show leadership by providing more sustainable and inclusive 
models of conference participation, following the lead of other academic 
associations.

We appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to your positive 
engagement with it.

To the ISA secretariat
We are writing to you as members of the Environmental Studies Section of the
ISA, but know the issues we want to raise here are of concern to many other
groups that are part of the ISA.
We are concerned about the very limited nature of the ISA’s efforts to
seriously support online participation in its conferences. We would like to
emphasise why we believe proper support to virtual participation is important.
These reasons include:
(i) Health concerns: in a context of Covid and likely future
pandemics, as a result of the probable increase in other zoonotic diseases
exacerbated by the accelerated devastation of the natural world, convening
large gatherings of people from different parts of the world is unlikely to be
a viable model for future conferences. While recognising the scholarly and
networking value of hosting such events, new hybrid models of engagement where
the face to face element is reduced look set to be the new norm. The sooner ISA

(ii)Environmental impacts of unnecessary travel: one of the
greatest contributions we could make as scholars to reducing the environmental
impact of our behaviour is to greatly reduce the amount we fly. Many
universities are developing travel policies which restrict air travel given its
contribution to a range of environmental and health problems and so we urge the
ISA to enable participation of scholars keen to engage, but who wish to live

not have budget for flights and travel to North America- or face visa
restrictions in getting there. This is a key moment to diversify (and
decolonise) our discipline and actively supporting wider participation is
morally important- and makes financial sense.
We realise some of these issues have been raised before with ISA pre-Covid. But
given emerging platforms for effective online engagement that Covid has forced
the academic community to develop, ISA has even fewer grounds to insist on face
to face meeting – or even (as has been suggested) charging more for online
participation to cover the costs of extra wifi capacity at conference venues.
We do not underestimate the financial and logistical challenges of changing the
nature of ISA conferences to enable hybrid models of participation. But equally
we believe the association has a duty of care to its members and a
responsibility to show leadership by providing more sustainable and inclusive
models of conference participation, following the lead of other academic
associations.
We appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to your positive
engagement with it.

[gep-ed] Open letter from academics in support of a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty

2021-05-06 Thread Peter Newell

Dear Gep-ed colleagues,



I just added my name to this open letter from scientists, academics and 
researchers calling for a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation 
Treaty and I wanted to encourage 
you to join me.



The fossil fuel system and its impacts are global and require a global 
solution. That’s why I have added my name to this call on governments to 
urgently commence negotiations to develop, adopt and implement a Fossil Fuel 
Non-Proliferation Treaty laying out a binding global plan to:

  *   End new expansion of fossil fuel production in line with the best 
available science as outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 
(IPCC) and the United Nations Environment Programme;
  *   Phase out existing production of fossil fuels in a manner that is fair 
and equitable, taking into account the respective dependency of countries on 
fossil fuels, and their capacity to transition;
  *   Invest in a transformational plan to ensure 100% access to renewable 
energy globally, support fossil fuel-dependent economies to diversify away from 
fossil fuels, and enable people and communities across the globe to flourish 
through a global just transition.



We can play an important role in building support and momentum for this bold 
proposal commensurate with the scale of the crisis the world is facing.



I hope you will join me in adding your name to the open letter. You can read 
the text of the letter and sign on at 
www.fossilfueltreaty.org/open-letter



With best wishes,



Peter

COVID-19: Resources and research on epidemics and pandemics


A selection from 13 years of work in the ESRC STEPS Centre explores how people 
prepare for, and respond to, widespread outbreaks of disease.

The scale and spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus is unfamiliar. But there 
are many lessons from past experiences in how governments prepare (or fail to 
prepare) for pandemics, how societies respond to disease, the links between 
ecology and society, and how to make sense of uncertainties in science, policy 
making and everyday life.

Science, uncertainty and policy advice

Science of many kinds is a vital source of insight to shape policy and practice 
during epidemics. But perhaps more than any crisis in the recent past, COVID-19 
shows the many ways that science advice can be controversial in a 
fast-changing, uncertain situation with conflicting views. As past examples 
show, opening up science advice to scrutiny and participation can be 
challenging but useful in seeking alternative ways forward.

[gep-ed] Global climate strike

2019-09-10 Thread Peter Newell

Dear Colleagues

Please consider signing the statement below in support of the forthcoming 
global climate strike.

Here is an explanatory note from Jake Woodier, campaign coordinator and 
director of the UK Student Climate Network on the YouthStrike4Climate campaign, 
part of the global Fridays For Future movement and a former student of mine.

'On the 20th September, just three days before the UN Climate Action Summit, 
the world will wake up to the Global Climate Strike, what's being billed as the 
biggest climate mobilisation in history, with millions of people across the 
world taking action - striking from schools, colleges and universities, 
organising mass work walkouts, taking holidays and TOIL etc.

As part of this, our network has been working with Professor Julia Steinberger 
(IPPC 6th Assessment Report WG3 lead author) to write a statement for 
scientists and academics from all disciplines and fields to sign up to in 
support of the global youth movement, and add scientific weight to our calls 
for more ambitious action.

You can find the statement 
here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4b6hMPpLf5wiKkmmLCffUpJ0pYFBl0Q7YbvYEM24agJqDjg/viewform>.

I'm asking two things of you:
1 - Would you show your support and sign the statement yourself
2- Will you distribute it among your academic and professional networks to help 
spread the letter and ask the same of those you share it with, to create a 
snowball effect'.

Thanks and best wishes

Peter

[gep-ed] Contribute a story of rapid transition

2018-12-04 Thread Peter Newell

Dear Gep-ed folks

Yesterday saw the launch of the Rapid Transition Alliance in the UK parliament 
in Westminster.  It aims to bring together activists, researchers and 
practitioners working on sustainability to explore and advance dynamics of 
change.

The alliance is seeking to provide what we call evidence-based hope about how, 
when and where rapid transitions are possible. We are doing this with reference 
to current and historical examples from around the world.

Amid some of the understandable despair about lack of action to combat climate 
change highlighted in the recent IPCC SR15, we want to learn from where, when 
and how things have changed very quickly.

Do you have a story of rapid transition? If so, please share it with us by 
clicking on 'Contribute a story' at:  
www.rapidtransition.org<http://www.rapidtransition.org>

With this form you can tell us about examples of rapid transition. They could 
be from the past or now, and from anywhere in the world. We are interested in 
all sectors of the economy. They don't have to be specifically about 
sustainability, though we'd like you to tell us why they are relevant and what 
lessons they might offer for rapid transitions to sustainability.

Together we can then grow a shared understanding of what works to create action 
of the scale and speed needed. With enough evidence-based hope we can remove 
excuses for inaction and illuminate ways ahead for progressive, rapid change.

Please do share this with colleagues and students working on sustainability 
transitions that might want to showcase their work or use the resources we are 
developing for teaching, research and activism.

www.rapidtransition.org<http://www.rapidtransition.org>

[gep-ed] What's the point of IR? Celebrating 50 years of IR at Sussex

2015-09-23 Thread Peter Newell

Apologies to non-IR folks on the list, but this might be of interest to some of 
you…


Dear colleagues and friends,


What’s the Point of IR? A conference convened in celebration of 50 years of 
International Relations at the University of Sussex


In celebration of 50 years of International Relations at Sussex, the Department 
of International Relations<http://www.sussex.ac.uk/ir/> is convening a 
conference on the 10th and 11th of December 2015 entitled ‘What’s the Point of 
IR?’ The conference asks: ‘what is the distinctiveness, the value, and the 
purpose of IR today?’


Over the past fifty years IR has changed strikingly, shifting from a narrow 
focus on the relations between states to a much more wide-ranging and diffuse 
concern with a spectrum of inter-societal and global processes. Yet, IR faces 
challenges on at least three fronts: from other social sciences that have 
eroded IR’s onetime comparative advantage as the scholarly endeavour concerned 
with the ‘international’; internally, as IR has become home to multiple 
theoretical traditions and sub-fields that rub against its academic coherence; 
and practically, as IR faces ever-increasing demands for non-academic—and 
especially policy—relevance.


With the aim of reflecting on these three inter-linked challenges, the 
conference asks:

  *   Is IR a coherent and singular discipline? Should this be its aim?
  *   What distinctive analytical value does IR possess today? What, if 
anything, should its distinctive intellectual purchase be?
  *   Where does IR’s practical importance and value lie? What should IR’s 
practical functions and purposes be?
  *   Who and what is IR for? And whose interests should IR serve?


The conference brings together scholars and public intellectuals from within 
and beyond IR to debate these questions. Organised as a single conversation 
that unfolds over the course of two days, the conference includes a public 
lecture and six plenary roundtable discussions organised around a set of key 
questions. The objective is to foster a genuinely organic conversation that 
speaks to the core aims of the conference while allowing for diversity and 
enabling useful departures.


Speakers include:



Tarak Barkawi, LSE

Walden Bello, University of the Philippines

Ken Booth, Aberystwyth University

Catia Confortini, Wellesley College

Lawrence Freedman, King’s College, London

Lene Hansen, University of Copenhagen

Betsy Hartmann, Hampshire College

[gep-ed] Applications invited for Director of Sussex Sustainability Research Programme

2015-07-27 Thread Peter Newell

Dear All
Please share this call for a Director of Sustainability Research at Sussex with 
those you think might be interested in applying.
Many thanks
Peter

Director, Sussex Sustainability Research Programme Ref 237
Director, Sussex Sustainability Research Programme
Building on the success of its 50th anniversary, the University of Sussex is 
delivering a strategy, Making the Future 2013-18, which will reinforce our 
strengths as a leading research university, and provide an outstanding student 
experience to a growing number of students. Creative thinking, pedagogic 
diversity, intellectual challenge and interdisciplinarity have always been 
central to a Sussex education. The University has more than 14,500 students and 
has staff and students from over 120 countries, giving us a distinctly 
international perspective.
The Director of the Sussex Sustainability Research Programme is a new 
leadership role. An exceptional individual, of established standing and 
credibility in sustainability nationally and internationally, will work in 
partnership, initially spanning four of the University's schools of study 
(Business, Management and Economics; Global Studies; Life Sciences; and Law, 
Politics and Sociology) together with the Institute of Development Studies 
(IDS), to develop a world-leading interdisciplinary programme in sustainability 
research addressing complex environmental and societal challenges related to 
climate and biosphere change.
Building on distinctive Sussex strengths in interdisciplinary sustainability 
research and policy engagement, the programme will provide a research 
environment in which innovative ideas, approaches and solutions develop.
The programme's activities will enhance both the understanding of complex 
sustainability challenges, and the approaches through which more sustainable 
development pathways may be negotiated.
Ideal candidates will be proven academic leaders who have internationally 
recognised research distinction in sustainability, across natural, applied and 
social sciences. Experience of attracting and managing large funds, galvanising 
academics across a range of disciplines and liaising effectively with external 
parties will be essential.
The role will be based at the University of Sussex, and the remuneration 
package will be commensurate with the significance of the appointment and the 
calibre of the successful applicant.
For more information, please visit 
www.minervasearch.com/sussex<http://www.minervasearch.com/sussex>
To apply, please send a covering letter, cv and completed equal opportunities 
form to sus...@minervasearch.com<mailto:sus...@minervasearch.com> by 04

[gep-ed] The Environment in Trans-Asian Contexts workshop Sussex University

2015-03-03 Thread Peter Newell

ractices that have developed in response to environmental 
challenges, representations of environmental conflicts, notions of governance 
and the politics of participation, and the production of environmental 
discourses in society.

Long-distance Trade and the Environment

Explorations of long-distance trading activities across Asian contexts offers 
unique opportunities into exploring  both trans-Asian connections and the 
intersection of these with changing environments. Subjects  for presentations 
in this panel might include:  The transplantation/movement of plants with 
traders and migrants - including food crops (e.g. rice), materia medica (e.g. 
neem), narcotics (e.g. opium), and cash crops (e.g. silk, coffee); The 
introduction of animals (e.g. goats, horses, rabbits, and some exotics) across 
trans-Asian contexts and the impacts this has had on local food chains and 
environments; The observations of the natural environment made by travellers 
and traders; The use of natural resources in the process of long-distance trade 
(e.g. timber, mining for tin for packaging, cowries as currency); Changes to 
the built environment that have arisen as a result of trade (e.g. roads, ports, 
infrastructures)and the environmental effects on these; The construction of 
places for travellers to stay (e.g. mosafer-khanas/funduq/modern hotels) and 
resulting environmental changes ( e.g. Buddhist monasteries appeared on trade 
routes and led to subsequent changes to the environment through the development 
of connected water projects, and the irrigation of rice fields).

Presentations should be between 15 and 20 minutes in length. Those interested 
in presenting their ideas should send tentative titles to Magnus Marsden 
(m.mars...@sussex.ac.uk<mailto:m.mars...@sussex.ac.uk>) by Friday 20th March.

Praise for the book

"An all-star team provides a clear, critical and fascinating discussion of the 
concept and practice of green transformations for a more sustainable and just 
world. Drawing on critical social theory they show us who has the power to 
define and implement transformations - comparing technocentric, marketized, 
state-led and citizen-led movements for sustainability - and the politics of 
knowledge and science that defines environmental crisis and responses. What 
adds depth to their arguments is that these authors are not isolated academics 
- they have been out there in the world of international relations, government 
policy, and NGOs with a thoughtful and engaged approach to change." –Diana 
Liverman, Institute of the Environment, University of Arizona, USA

"In the 21st century environmental imperatives will increasingly define 
economic policy and societal choices. Key questions such as who will make these 
choices, who could be the winners and losers and how will our political and 
governance systems mediate this process of transition are key to understanding 
the political economy of green transformation. The dynamics of innovation and 
policy discourse on the green economy have been remarkably fast and diverse. 
The questions and interpretations put forward by the authors in "The Politics 
of Green Transformation" are timely and provide important context and focus for 
a rapidly evolving paradigm of sustainable development." –Achim Steiner, United 
Nations Under-Secretary-General, Executive Director, United Nations Environment 
Programme (UNEP), Kenya

"The world has moved from why to what? No longer is the question why we should 
act. Instead the question is what should we do, at the scale that can make a 
real transformation? The problem is that current solutions are small because 
they are at best transitional. The world needs real solutions that can be 
scaled up at speed to meet the needs of all - transformational solutions. What 
then can we do? What is working and where? This is what the 'politics of green 
transformations' is about. This is what we must understand so that we can move 
beyond the fluff of green verbiage to real pathways that can bring us real 
change. I would encourage you to read this book because we must relearn the 
message of sustainability for a world that is increasingly warmer, riskier and 
unjust. " –Sunita Narain, Director General, Centre for Science and Environment, 
India

"This book is a thoughtful and robust exploration of the concept of green 
transformation. It will make a significant contribution to better understanding 
this complex and sometimes contested issue. The authors offer an essential 
reading for anyone who wants to invest in making development more sustainable." 
–Youba Sokona, Co-Chair IPCC WGIII and Special Advisor, South Centre, 
Switzerland

"If you have ever wondered why there is so much talk about green 
transformations and so little action, this is the book to read. It is a 
fascinating and enlightening tour of the green political map in all its 
complexity. It won't give you all the answers, but it will enable you to ask 
the right questions." –Carlota Perez, London School of Economics, UK and Nurkse 
Institute, Estonia, author of Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital: 
the Dynamics of Bubbles and Golden Ages.

Invitation AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

Global Climate Policy Conference 2015

RESEARCH-POLICY INTERFACE: REMOVING ROADBLOCKS, EXPLORING IDEAS

New Delhi, 30th April and 1st May 2015

Climate Strategies and The Stanley Foundation (TSF) have pleasure in inviting 
you to take part in the second Global Climate Policy Conference (GCPC) that 
will be held in New Delhi, India on Thursday and Friday, 30th April and 1st May 
2015.

The GCPC 2015 is part of a wider engagement process "Global Research-Policy 
Interface Climate 2015. Strengthening the Research-Policy interface in the 
international climate negotiations" with the following 
goals:

* Identifying key questions behind the most likely roadblocks for the 
Paris COP;

* Collecting, developing and communicating analysis of the main 
realistic options for answers;

* Creating an "Exploratorium" for new ideas that could help with 
negotiations;

* Defining the issues and what analysis tells us, in a clear final 
document for negotiators and stakeholders

The conference will bring together researchers and analysts from academia and 
think-tanks, together with negotiators and other practitioners and focus on:

* Exploring new economic, social and political ideas that could help 
with negotiations;

* Analysing concrete options to remove obstacles on the way to Paris.

Similarly to the year before the focus of the agenda will be informed by 
submissions and contributions. The output of the conference will be 
subsequently brought to the Business and Climate Summit in May 2015 and the 
Paris Scientific Conference Our Common Future under Climate Change in July 
2015. Finally in the fall 2015 we will publish the "Analyst's Guide to the 
Paris COP".

The Global Interface Programme Committee will select four to six topics meeting 
the Project goals to be presented at GCPC2015 on the first day of the

[gep-ed] Research Fellowships at the Institute of Development Studies Sussex University

2015-01-09 Thread Peter Newell

The Institute of Development Studies at Sussex is recruiting Research Fellows 
in several fields  http://www.ids.ac.uk/job/research-fellows .  We are 
particularly interested in colleagues working on The Politics of Green 
Transformations.

More specifically, we seek to recruit Research Fellows at grades 8 and 9 who 
can contribute to our understanding of the politics of Green Transformations, 
with a special focus on two big changes: from fossil fuel to renewable energy 
and from throw-away to circular economy. The ideal candidate can advance our 
understanding in particular of the role of government-business-civic alliances 
in countries at different levels of development, with different institutional 
systems and at different stages of the policy cycle. Preferably a political 
scientist or expert in political economy, the successful candidate will have 
research experience on economic and policy networks in the context of 
sustainability debates.

Please pass on this message to others who might be interested.  The closing 
date is 2 February 2015.

[gep-ed] The Politics of Carbon Markets

2014-10-20 Thread Peter Newell

Dear all,

I would like to draw your attention to the book The Politics of Carbon Markets, 
edited by Benjamin Stephan & Richard Lane and recently published by Routledge.

Carbon markets are in the middle of a fundamental crisis. A crisis marked by 
collapsing prices, fleeing actors, and ever increasing greenhouse gas levels. 
Yet carbon trading remains at the heart of global attempts to respond to 
climate change. Not only this, but markets continue to proliferate - 
particularly in the Global South. This edited volume helps to make sense of 
this paradox. It brings two urgently needed insights to the analysis of carbon 
markets. First, the markets must be understood in relation to the politics 
involved in their development, maintenance and opposition. Second, this 
politics is multiform and pervasive. Implementation of new techniques and 
measuring tools, policy development and contestation, and the structuring 
context of institutional settings and macro-social forces all involve a variety 
of political actors and create new forms of political agency. This book has 
assembled 12 contributions (including by myself - see below for more details) 
bringing together a variety of approaches (actor-network-theory, 
governmentality studies, hegemony and discourse theory, neo-Gramscian political 
economy, etc.) that focus on this politics of carbon markets. These study the 
total extent of the carbon markets, from their prehistory to their contemporary 
expansion and wider impacts. In total, this wide-ranging political perspective 
on the carbon markets is invaluable to an audience interested in ecological 
markets, climate change governance and environmental politics.

You can find a flyer with further information and a 20% discount code if you 
order the book through Routledge here: http://bit.ly/politicsofcarbonmarkets

Subject: Re: [gep-ed] IPCC question

Stacy -
Yes, it depends on the temp target, but in the real world (ie not politics) it 
also depends on the sensitivity of the climate, and for all intents and 
purposes everything seems to happen faster and sooner indicating that the 
climate system may be more sensitive than we thought.

Another approach to this, ultimately to be turned into percentages if you wish, 
is that propagated in the America's Climate Choices (Limiting/Mitigation) 
report (NRC, 2012). They essentially took an emissions/carbon budget approach, 
saying that if we want to stay under x temperature, then we have a carbon 
budget of y, and at the current rate of emissions, we will have used that 
remaining budget up by year z. To stay within that budget we have to reduce 
some percent per year starting... well, yesterday. It gives you a simple math 
approach to seeing that 2 degrees C is all but an economically (well, o.k. back 
to THAT real world... i.e. politically) infeasible goal.

Hope that helps (even if just for the US and not global, but similar papers 
have been written for global carbon budgets),

Actually, the 450ppm target is for 2050, not for 2020. The 25-40% reduction for 
Annex I countries (from 1990 levels) is an intermediate target-- sort of a way 
station. Annex I countries would need to continue to reduce emissions at a 
similar rate until 2050. Ultimately the Annex I cuts would need to be much 
deeper to hit 450ppm.



Though I find the Annex I responsibilities a useful way to measure our lack of 
progress (even in commitments) in the near term (see 
http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/5/3/034013/fulltext/), they are a confusing 
way to think about global emissions reductions.



I think it is more straightforward to think of it this way. According to the 
fourth assessment report, by 2050, GLOBAL emissions would need to fall 50-85% 
from 2000 levels in order to stabilize warming at 2-2.4 degrees Celsius over 
the pre-industrial equilibrium 
(http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg3/en/spmsspm-d.html see chart

by the European Unionat the Bali conference. This was a subject of intense 
negotiations. No one else in the industrialized camp supported the EU on this. 
As a result, the Bali text only contains a footnote that indirectly refers to 
the IPCC-endorsed target, without actually containing the 25-40 numbers.
