    • Changing climate change: The carbon budget and the modifying-work of the IPCC 

      Lahn, Bård Lappegård (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Over the last 10 years, the concept of a global ‘carbon budget’ of allowable CO2 emissions has become ubiquitous in climate science and policy. Since it was brought to prominence by the Fifth Assessment Report of the IPCC, ...

    • Dirty air offsets inequality 

      Lund, Marianne Tronstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
