In this episode of The Climate Show, Viktor Weber interviews Harilaos Psaraftis, Professor Emeritus of the Danish Technical University. Viktor has asked Professor Psaraftis about the functioning of the market-based measures that are proposed at the International Maritime Organization for the decarbonization of the shipping industry.
In this episode, Dr Justine Bendel speaks to Professor Christina Voigt from the University of Oslo about the structure of the compliance mechanisms in the climate change regime. What are the roles of the newly established Paris Agreement Implementation and Compliance Committee in the architecture of the climate regime?
In this episode, Stella Ebbersmeyer speaks to Dr. Zhen Sun from the World Maritime University about the regulation of Arctic shipping in the context of climate change. They address topics such as the regulation of black carbon emissions, the Heavy Fuel Oil ban at the International Maritime Organization and non-state actors in international law-making.
In this episode, Justine Bendel speaks to Professor Christina Voigt from the University of Oslo about the regulation of forests as carbon sinks in the climate regime. What is the climate regime doing regarding deforestation, forest degradation, afforestation or reforestation?
This paper examines how aesthetics can foster inclusion in everyday urban infrastructures, using recycling rooms in residential areas as a case study. Drawing on a design ethnographic study of 27 municipal recycling facilities, three interconnected dimensions – access aesthetics, communicative aesthetics, and spatial aesthetics – were identified. Environments that are neglected, dark, and smelly t
Introduction: Human rhinovirus (HRV) is the primary cause of acute respiratory infections, but research on the likely transmission pathway via aerosols remains limited. Here, we investigate how relative humidity (RH) influences rhinovirus infectivity in the aerosol phase, which is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies.Method: Rhinovirus was aerosolized using a nebulizer into a f
The transition towards low-carbon societies is creating winners and losers, raising new questions of justice. Around the world, litigation increasingly articulates these justice questions, challenging laws, projects and policies that aim to deliver climate change adaptation and/or mitigation. In this Perspective, we define and conceptualize the phenomenon of ‘just transition litigation’. This conc
Between 2021 and 2022, the United Nations Human Rights Council and the General Assembly passed resolutions explicitly acknowledging the ‘right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment’. These recognitions align with developments in the regional human rights frameworks that already enshrined this right. In the wake of these developments, the Council of Europe stands as an exception: it is t
In this episode, Viktor Weber speaks to Professor Michael Tsimplis from Hong Kong City University about shipping industry’s responses to the decarbonization challenge.
Transposable elements (TEs) comprise nearly half of mammalian genomes and have shaped genome architecture, chromatin organization, and transcriptional landscapes. Thanks to recent advances in long-read sequencing and functional (epi)genomics, the focus has shifted from TE families to individual TE loci, revealing widespread, locus-specific regulatory roles. While most TEs have lost the capacity to
In this episode, we speak to Carolyn Deere Birkbeck, Founder and Executive Director of the Forum on Trade, Environment the SDGs (TESS) and Alessandro Monti, Assistant Professor in Energy and Sustainability Law at the University of Copenhagen, about policies and initiatives to strengthen sustainability in international trade law.
In this episode, we talk to Professor Harro van Asselt, leading expert on climate change law, about how international law can support the transition away from fossil fuels.
In this episode, we speak to Kees van der Geest, academic officer and Head of Environment and Migration section at the UN University, and Linnéa Nordlander, Assistant Professor of human rights and sustainability at the University of Copenhagen.
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Elena Cima, Lecturer at the University of Geneva, about the interaction between climate change and International Trade Law.
In this episode, we talk to Professor Martha M. Roggenkamp, Professor Emerita of Energy Law at the University of Groningen, about how climate change is affecting the development of Energy Law, also in light of the 2022 energy crisis.
