Failing in the climate challenge

CFR Backgrounder

WRITTEN BY
Lindsay Maizland
 
International efforts, such as the Paris Agreement, aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But experts say countries aren’t doing enough to limit dangerous global warming.
 
Summary
  • Countries have debated how to combat climate change since the early 1990s. These negotiations have produced several important accords, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.
  • Governments generally agree on the science behind climate change but have diverged on who is most responsible and how to set emissions-reduction goals.
  • Experts say the Paris Agreement is not enough to prevent the global average temperature from rising 1.5°C. When that happens, the world will suffer devastating consequences, such as heat waves and floods.

First Review of International Studies (RIS) Editors Selection

 

Welcome to the first Review of International Studies (RIS) Editors Selection. We hope this will become a regular way for the editorial team to highlight articles we have published. In this first set of articles selected by Lead Editor Martin Coward, we focus on recent articles that capture the breadth of topics published by RIS. At RIS we have always understood IR to encompass global politics in the very broadest sense. As such we publish work on a variety of topics as this selection shows. The selection starts with a timely interventions on civil-military trends in covid responses (Gibson-Fall). Nicholas Lees examines the legacy of the Brandt line in north-south relations, while Wright and Bergman Rosamond examine the visual politics of celebrity in global politics.  Drolet and Williams revisit postwar realism to examine its conservatism, while Thakur, Karen Smith recover marginalised histories of non-western IR scholarship in their introduction to a special issue on the Multiple Origins of IR. Liese, Herold, Feil, and Busch explain the way in which the power of international bureaucracies is based on perceptions of expert authority. Finally Agius looks at the bordering practices of the Trump presidency through the lens of ontological security.

This selection also highlights the collaboration between RIS and the British International Studies Association (BISA). The BISA website promotes many of our authors after publication – highlighting our commitment to dissemination of our articles to the widest possible audience.

All articles in this selection will be free to view and download until the end of September 2022.

World Bank’s food security update (Aug 2022)

Farmers harvesting grains as food insecurity affects more and more countries.

August 15, 2022 – Record high food prices have triggered a global crisis that will drive millions more into extreme poverty, magnifying hunger and malnutrition, while threatening to erase hard-won gains in development. The war in Ukraine, supply chain disruptions, and the continued economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic are reversing years of development gains and pushing food prices to all-time highs. Rising food prices have a greater impact on people in low- and middle-income countries, since they spend a larger share of their income on food than people in high-income countries. This brief looks at rising food insecurity and World Bank responses to date.

Taiwan y el mar del sur de China (Josep Piqué, Política Exterior)

2 de septiembre de 2022

En las últimas semanas hemos visto un incremento alarmante de las tensiones en el estrecho de Taiwán, entre China y Estados Unidos, con el pretexto de la visita de Nancy Pelosi, presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes, a la isla. Más allá de la reivindicación china de su soberanía sobre Taiwán, en base a la doctrina de “una sola China”, la isla es la llave de acceso desde el mar de la China Oriental al de la China Meridional, además de formar parte, con Okinawa y Filipinas, de la llamada primera cadena de islas que condicionan la salida de China al Pacífico, junto a la segunda cadena que va de Japón a Guam y las islas Marianas.
