Yang, Huiyi; Dobbie, Steven; Ramirez-Villegas, Julian; Chen, Bing; Qiu, Shaojun; Ghosh, Sat; Challinor, Andy (2020): South India projected to be susceptible to high future groundnut failure rates for future climate change and geo-engineered scenarios. In The Science of the Total Environment 747, p. 141240. DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.141240.

"With an increase in global mean temperature predicted for this century accompanied by more frequent extremes, will farming communities need to brace for increased crop failures and hardship? Solar dimming climate geoengineering has been proposed as a possible solution to combat rising global temperature but what effect will it or other climate related adaptation have on crop failures? We performed a crop modelling study using future climate and geoengineering projections to investigate these questions."

"I show that commonly proposed emission taxes are not optimal for controlling climate change: they can achieve zero emissions but cannot induce negative emissions. The first-best policy charges firms period by period for leaving a stock of carbon in the atmosphere, not just for injecting carbon into the atmosphere."

Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Living reference work entry. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-71067-9_100-1.

‌"This entry describes the linkages between “Drawdown solutions” and the targets and goals set out by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is proposed that the implementation of these solutions can substantially help to achieve the SDGs by 2030, with even greater gains when implementing actions in parallel as a “system of solutions” enabled by broad-based, effective partnerships at local, regional, and international scales."
