Deadline: 31. March 2021 "The PhD study is part of a research project that examines the imaginaries embedded in and produced through Natural Climate Solutions. Theoretically, the project draws inspiration from the fields of political ecology and science studies. Empirically, it emphasizes narratives as the entry point to understand how Natural Climate Solutions (re-)produces ideas about past, present and future natures and nature-society relations." LINK

Murray, Emily G.; DiGiorgio, Andrea L. (2021): Will Individual Actions Do the Trick? Comparing Climate Change Mitigation through Geoengineering versus Reduced Vehicle Emissions. In Earth’s Future. DOI: 10.1029/2020EF001734. "This paper considers how one individual action (reducing carbon dioxide emissions from gasoline‐fueled private vehicles), when adopted at a global scale, may have an effect that is comparable to the effects of geoengineering. This paper also argues that the role of geoengineering as a safeguard against climate change may be encouraging complacency and reducing motivation for individual action." LINK
