The UK in the EU – Stay or Leave? The balance sheet on energy and climate policy / David Buchan and Malcolm Keay. Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, Feb. 2016, 6 p. (Oxford energy comment) http://www.oxfordenergy.org/2016/02/the-uk-in-the-eu-stay-or-leave-the-balance-sheet-on-energy-and-climate-policy/

Energy may not be the biggest issue in the impending referendum on the UK’s EU membership. However, energy policy is increasingly being developed at EU level and the EU is aiming to achieve a full ‘Energy Union’, so it is important for those with an interest in energy and decarbonisation to understand the arguments, and to assess the various claims (some potentially misleading) being made about the implications of Brexit for energy. This Comment examines the various factors involved.

Climate change governance: history, future, and triple-loop learning? / Joyeeta Gupta. WIREs Climate Change,2016, 7, pp. 192-210 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/wcc.388/epdf

The international climate change regime started out very constructively, but although there has been progress over the last 25 years, this progress falls short of what is needed to address the climate change problem. This paper presents the regime evolution in terms of the concept of single-, double -, and triple-loop learning, and its relationship with participatory processes and trust, emphasizing the more recent developments and prospects for the future.
