The article examines how political embeddedness shapes corporate strategies in environmental enforcement in China. It shows that local ties enable ex ante preemption, upper-tier ties support ex post lobbying, and non-embedded firms must build institutional linkages.

This article analyses how Hindu nationalism shapes India’s climate politics through the leader, the party and the think-tank. It is a non-European account showing how, from 2001-22, ecological modernisation and "Jagatguru" symbolism legitimise green capitalism.

The article uses ethnography in rural Shanxi to show why coal-to-electricity policies counted as success while everyday heating stayed organised around the kang. It introduces "social heat": heating as a total social fact whereby piecemeal equipment cannot replace domestic whole.

This article maps how ClientEarth enforced EU env law from 2015-25, tracing its shift from Commission complaints toward national litigation. It shows that a raised, politicised complaint threshold forces NGOs into uneven decentralized enforcement, often without remedy.

This report highlights that the ‘climate refugee’ label excludes people displaced by climate damage and lets historically polluting states avoid accountability. It shows that the label misreads displacement shaped by governance and livelihood failures.

The article tests whether climate denialism mediates conservatism's link to support for three solar geoengg technologies across 13 countries. It finds that opposition is largely denial-driven and, once controlled, varies by country and technology rather than a stable ideology.

This article examines climate disinformation as moral distortion through Moore’s CO2 claims and BP’s carbon-footprint campaign. It is defined as selective framing by speakers posing as trustworthy inquirers, distinct from factual denial, moral corruption and greenwashing.

This report conceptualises why nature-climate integration, now prominent in the KMGBF & NDCs, systematically turns into sectoral practice once commitments are implemented. It frames this as an operationalisation paradox driven by divergent goal-setting & implementation logics.
