In Part 2 of this episode Kate Cook, Tejal Kantikar and Linda Schneider look at normative choices and assumptions underpinning integrated assessment models in the IPCC's mitigation report and examine how the future AR7 report could be aligned with equity, a legal requirement, using a wider range of economic approaches and models, including those produced by developing countries.

A Common Concern: The Climate Justice Podcast - Projecting global inequality? The need for equity-alignment in mitigation models and scenarios in IPCC assessments
The mitigation models, scenarios and emission pathways presented by IPCC Working Group 3 are highly technical but have direct implications for the distribution of the mitigation burden and securing climate justice for the poorest and most vulnerable states and regions. In this two part episode, Kate Cook discusses equity-related criticisms of these models and scenarios with two expert guests, Tejal Kanitkar, Associate Professor at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research in Mumbai, and Linda Schneider of the Heinrich Boll Foundation. What are the criticisms being made of the mitigation models and scenarios in the current report and how might these be addressed in the IPCC's next, 7th,Assessment Report? How do these equity-related concerns relate to the human rights duties and related responsibilities of states?

From wellbeing to special regard: the Welsh approach to climate justice and nature recovery
In this episode, Kate Cook discusses the distinctive and in many ways groundbreaking approach to climate justice adopted in Wales/Cymru. Her guest is the leading campaigner Ruth Chambers OBE, senior fellow of Green Alliance and honorary professor of practice at UCL's Centre for law and the environment as well as adviser to other organisations including River Action UK and the RSPB. Ruth is widely recognised for her work on helping to shape the post-brexit legal landscape for the environment. Kate and Ruth discuss the implications of recent Welsh legislation in this area, as well as the 2015 Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act. Against ongoing concerns relating to legacies from Wales's industrial past and the increasing impacts of climate change, how is Wales addressing climate justice and nature recovery in the broader context set by the 2015 Act?
