Parece que la Comisión va a proponer eliminar las ayudas de la PAC por hectáreas y pasar a un modelo de ayudas a quien lo necesite. ¿Bien? También tratará de desincentivar la ganadería intensiva. www.ft.com/content/967f...
Report suggests basing Common Agricultural Policy payments on income not acreage and calls for curbing meat production
The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions. 1 gigawatt = power for a medium sized city ☀️
7. The article may be very harsh with the existing literature, but it will surely be a good reminder to conduct more rigorous empirical and theoretical work in the field.
6. In this sense, I think that the mission is to produce research on how to devise pathways and strategies to scale-down the most harming activities while being politically and institutionally feasible and effective for stopping Earth warming, if that is still possible...
5. I'm not the most favourable on the term "degrowth", as I think it has its organisational and political limits in our current institutions. But this doesn't make false the claim that without degrowth in rich countries (meat, mobility, etc.) it is highly probable we won't stay below 1.5ºC.
4. Some like to say that we have already de-coupled emissions from growth, but this claim is for relative changes over time, not absolute changes. The size of the cake is so huge in terms of CO2 emissions that looking just at relative changes is only a small picture of the situation.
3. Coming back to rich countries, the CO2 per capita in rich countries is so huge compared to the Global South that talking about steady-state growth makes sense to reach 2030 climate goals. Otherwise, it looks hard to imagine how to reach the limit of 1.5ºC to avoid crossing tipping points.
2. And here, I must say I was surprised the article only covers English articles! Then you might miss research in Global South...
1. Some people has highlighted this map as something bad. So first, it's important to remember that a de-growth program seeks to reduce rich countries' material growth to leave material space for Global South, so it makes sense that research is done in rich countries.
This literature review has triggered a nice discussion on the state of the de-growth literature. I just wanted to make a small threads of comments in order to help to have constructive debate. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti....
