There is a growing gap between youth and institutions on climate change, evidenced by the significant number of young people around the world who report feeling deeply betrayed by institutional inaction on climate. Young people disproportionately bear the mental and physical consequences of a warming world. They are also disproportionately on the frontlines of pushing for the transformational social, political, and economic change necessary to mitigate the most catastrophic climate harms. Thus, there are compelling moral and practical reasons for centering young people in institutional climate action. Drawing from community-engaged research projects with 93 youth, we use thematic analysis to add rich new qualitative insights into how youth are experiencing institutional betrayal around climate change and how, in turn, that impacts their engagement with institutional climate decision-making. We show that youth feelings of institutional betrayal are broader than previously documented—both in the number and engagement level of youth who feel betrayed and in the range of institutions that provoke feelings of betrayal and skepticism. We argue that this betrayal is driven in part by a gap in language and visions of climate action between youth and institutions. Youth perceive a profound disconnect between their expansive vision for climate justice and institutions’ narrow, technical, and often profit-driven responses, which they see as centering already-privileged publics. We offer strategies institutions might adopt to avoid deepening mistrust and instead build authentic partnerships with young people, particularly through a focus on local, tangible, climate action framed by deep commitment to systemic change.

在气候变化问题上，青年与机构之间的差距越来越大，世界各地有相当多的年轻人报告说，他们对机构在气候问题上的不作为深感背叛。年轻人不成比例地承受着世界变暖带来的精神和身体后果。他们还不成比例地站在推动社会、政治和经济变革的第一线，这些变革是减轻最灾难性气候危害所必需的。因此，有令人信服的道德和实践理由将年轻人集中在制度性气候行动中。我们借鉴了93名青年参与的社区研究项目，利用主题分析，为青年如何在气候变化方面经历制度性背叛，以及这反过来如何影响他们参与制度性气候决策，增加了丰富的新的定性见解。我们发现，年轻人对制度背叛的感觉比之前记录的更广泛——无论是在感到被背叛的年轻人的数量和参与程度上，还是在引发背叛感和怀疑感的制度范围上。我们认为，这种背叛在一定程度上是由于青年和机构之间在气候行动的语言和愿景上存在差距。年轻人认为，他们对气候正义的广阔愿景与机构狭隘的、技术性的、往往以利润为导向的反应之间存在着深刻的脱节，他们认为这些反应集中在已经享有特权的公众身上。我们提供了机构可能采用的策略，以避免加深不信任，而是与年轻人建立真正的伙伴关系，特别是通过对系统性变革的坚定承诺，重点关注当地切实的气候行动。

Air quality standards continue to tighten globally, yet their revision is shaped not only by scientific evidence but also by economic capacity and institutional readiness. This study integrates an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) assessment, cross-national policy review, and a meta-analysis of 57 empirical studies to evaluate how socioeconomic factors influence PM_2.5 standard-setting and pollution control outcomes. We find that most economies begin strengthening standards once per capita GDP exceeds USD 20,000, suggesting a transition from growth-driven pollution to regulation-driven improvement. Case comparisons suggest that revising PM_2.5 standards is a multi-dimensional decision that balances public-health benefits with compliance cost, industrial restructuring needs, employment concerns, and global competitiveness. Economies with well-developed institutions handle these trade-offs more effectively, maintaining policy continuity and demonstrating higher regulatory resilience. Meta-analysis further shows that air pollution policies generally increase GDP, whereas the evidence on employment is mixed, with negative estimates being more prevalent. Market-based instruments are more likely to deliver simultaneous economic and labor benefits. These findings together highlight the need for embedding socioeconomic evaluation within standard-setting, particularly in developing countries where regulation must accompany industrial restructuring and institutional capacity building. The study offers evidence-based insights for designing cleaner-air pathways that are economically viable and socially adaptive.

空气质量标准在全球范围内继续收紧，但其修订不仅取决于科学证据，还取决于经济能力和制度准备程度。本研究整合了环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）评估、跨国政策回顾和57项实证研究的荟萃分析，以评估社会经济因素如何影响PM2.5标准制定和污染控制结果。我们发现，一旦人均GDP超过2万美元，大多数经济体就会开始加强标准，这表明污染从增长驱动型向监管驱动型转变。案例比较表明，修订PM2.5标准是一项多方面的决策，需要在公共卫生利益与合规成本、产业结构调整需求、就业问题和全球竞争力之间取得平衡。拥有完善制度的经济体更有效地处理这些权衡，保持政策连续性，并表现出更高的监管弹性。元分析进一步表明，空气污染政策通常会增加GDP，而有关就业的证据则好坏参半，负面估计更为普遍。以市场为基础的工具更有可能同时带来经济和劳动力利益。这些发现共同强调了将社会经济评估纳入标准制定的必要性，特别是在监管必须伴随着产业结构调整和机构能力建设的发展中国家。该研究为设计经济上可行且具有社会适应性的清洁空气途径提供了基于证据的见解。

Global climate change reflects inequality between historical emissions responsibility and climate impact, raising questions about climate justice and global environmental racism, which is characterised by unequal exposure of vulnerable populations to environmental risks. No systematic classification framework capturing historical emissions responsibility, climate impacts, and development capacity exists. This study addresses this gap by proposing and validating a 3 × 2 emissions–impacts classification of 172 countries to identify the country groups facing the greatest mismatch between responsibility and vulnerability, test links to lower human development, and derive implications for global climate governance. Historical responsibility is measured by cumulative CO₂ emissions (1750–2023) grouped A/B/C by the modified Pareto rule 80–15–5, while impacts are measured by the Global Climate Risk Index (GCRI, 1993–2022) and divided binarily into high and low using a value-weighted 80/20 threshold. The Human Development Index (HDI, 2023) serves as an interpretative indicator of adaptive capacity. Results confirm a persistent asymmetry: 55 C-High countries with minimal responsibility and highest impacts show the lowest HDI scores, while 7 largest-emitters (A-Low group) and 22 medium-emitters (B-Low group) combine higher historical responsibility with low impacts. HDI differences are significant (C-High vs. A+B: p < 0.001, r = 0.526), and the model is stable across seven threshold specifications. The findings support targeting Loss and Damage Fund resources at disadvantaged countries, directing mitigation obligations towards high-responsibility economies, and moving climate policy beyond the growth paradigm towards postgrowth alternatives.

全球气候变化反映了历史排放责任与气候影响之间的不平等，引发了关于气候正义和全球环境种族主义的问题，其特征是弱势群体面临环境风险的不平等。目前还没有系统的分类框架来捕捉历史排放责任、气候影响和发展能力。本研究通过提出和验证172个国家的3 × 2排放影响分类来解决这一差距，以确定在责任和脆弱性之间面临最大不匹配的国家群体，测试与较低人类发展的联系，并得出对全球气候治理的影响。历史责任通过累积CO₂排放量（1750-2023）按修改后的Pareto规则80-15-5分组为A/B/C来衡量，而影响则通过全球气候风险指数（GCRI, 1993-2022）来衡量，并使用价值加权80/20阈值将其分为高和低。人类发展指数（HDI, 2023）是适应能力的解释性指标。结果证实了持续的不对称性：55个c -高排放国家的责任最小，影响最大，其HDI得分最低，而7个最大排放国（a -低组）和22个中等排放国（b -低组）的历史责任较高，影响较小。HDI差异显著（C-High vs. A+B: p <； 0.001,r = 0.526），模型在七个阈值规格下是稳定的。研究结果支持将损失和损害基金的资源用于处境不利的国家，将缓解义务导向高责任经济体，并将气候政策从增长范式转向后增长替代方案。

Climate change disproportionately affects Indigenous communities, yet the gendered dimensions of these impacts, including the ways Indigenous women experience and respond, remain underexplored. This study examines how Indigenous Vedda women in Sri Lanka experience climate change, the strategies they employ in response, and the limits and barriers that constrain their adaptive capacity. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and field journaling conducted across four Vedda communities, the study adopts an intersectional and community-engaged approach to center women’s lived experiences. Findings reveal that Vedda women experience climate change primarily through declining agricultural productivity, food insecurity, water scarcity, and emerging health challenges, driven by drought, precipitation variability, and extreme heat. In response, women employ strategies spanning coping (e.g. manually watering plants), adaptive (e.g. collective resource-sharing), and transformative actions (e.g. increased reliance on daily wage jobs and Western medicine). Yet, these responses are often constrained by intersecting financial, institutional, and social/cultural barriers. Limited access to income, inadequate government support, gendered restrictions on mobility, and unequal access to Indigenous knowledge systems restrict women’s ability to move beyond short-term coping strategies. The study further identifies emerging limits to adaptation, where environmental change and structural inequalities together undermine the viability of traditional livelihood practices and knowledge systems. By foregrounding Indigenous women’s perspectives, this research advances an understanding of how intersecting social and ecological factors shape adaptation. Findings highlight the need for climate adaptation policies that are gender-responsive, context-specific, and grounded in Indigenous knowledge, while addressing structural inequalities that constrain adaptive capacity.

气候变化对土著社区的影响尤为严重，但这些影响的性别层面，包括土著妇女经历和应对的方式，仍未得到充分探讨。本研究考察了斯里兰卡土著维达妇女如何经历气候变化，她们采取的应对策略，以及制约她们适应能力的限制和障碍。通过在四个维达社区进行的半结构化访谈和实地记录，该研究采用了交叉和社区参与的方法来集中女性的生活经历。研究结果显示，由干旱、降水变化和极端高温导致的农业生产力下降、粮食不安全、水资源短缺和新出现的健康挑战，是维达妇女经历气候变化的主要原因。作为回应，妇女采取的策略包括应对（如人工浇水）、适应（如集体资源共享）和变革行动（如增加对日薪工作和西医的依赖）。然而，这些应对措施往往受到交叉的金融、体制和社会/文化障碍的制约。获得收入的机会有限、政府支持不足、对流动的性别限制以及获得土著知识系统的机会不平等，都限制了妇女超越短期应对策略的能力。该研究进一步确定了新出现的适应限制，其中环境变化和结构性不平等共同破坏了传统生计做法和知识系统的可行性。通过突出土著妇女的观点，本研究促进了对社会和生态因素如何影响适应的理解。研究结果强调了气候适应政策的必要性，这些政策应顾及性别、具体情况并以土著知识为基础，同时解决制约适应能力的结构性不平等问题。

This study examines to what extent and by what means waste policy and infrastructure have been reframed, influenced or redirected under the climate agenda. It assumes that waste policies and management are increasingly shaped by carbon concerns, according to a process of climatization. Based on expert reports and grey literature, the analysis focuses on three distinct but interrelated factors playing a role in the climatization of waste: metrological standards, mitigation instruments, and technological innovation. This process originated in the early 1990s with the use of greenhouse gas metrics, continued through policy instruments promoted by international climate agreements, and more recently has taken the form of decarbonization technologies. The investigation demonstrates how waste and carbon control intersect and relate to one another. Since CO₂ tends to be increasingly framed as a waste to be managed, the article points to the emergence of a wastification process of carbon, seemingly ignoring learnings from waste management and from waste and discard studies.

本研究考察了在气候议程下，废物政策和基础设施在何种程度上以及通过何种方式被重新制定、影响或重新定向。它假设，根据气候化过程，废物政策和管理日益受到碳问题的影响。根据专家报告和灰色文献，该分析侧重于在废物气候化中发挥作用的三个不同但相互关联的因素：计量标准、缓解工具和技术创新。这一进程始于20世纪90年代初使用温室气体指标，通过国际气候协议推动的政策工具继续下去，最近又以脱碳技术的形式出现。这项调查显示了废物和碳控制是如何相互交叉和联系的。由于二氧化碳越来越倾向于被定义为需要管理的废物，这篇文章指出了碳废物过程的出现，似乎忽视了废物管理和废物和丢弃研究的经验教训。

This article examines the protest songs of the Kartinis of Kendeng, a collective of Javanese women farmers who have resisted limestone quarrying and cement production in the karst mountains of Central Java, Indonesia, as a living archive of ecological knowledge and climate resilience. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted between 2014 and 2025, including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and textual analysis of the tembang “Ibu bumi wis maringi, ibu bumi dilarani, ibu bumi kang ngadili” [Mother Earth has given, Mother Earth has been hurt, Mother Earth will seek justice], the article explores how ecological knowledge is preserved, transmitted, and mobilised through embodied cultural practices. Situated at the intersection of feminist archival studies, Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge scholarship, and gender-responsive climate research, the analysis demonstrates that the Kendeng tembang functions simultaneously as repertoire, archive, and environmental pedagogy. Through song and collective performance, women transmit knowledge of karst hydrology, water stewardship, agrarian cosmology, and ecological responsibility that remains largely absent from formal environmental governance. The article argues that this performative knowledge constitutes a feminist counter-archive through which women assert epistemic authority while advancing a non-anthropocentric environmental ethic that recognises the earth as a moral subject. The Kendeng case contributes to climate resilience scholarship by showing how women’s ecological knowledge supports climate adaptation through the protection of karst water systems and climate mitigation through resistance to carbon-intensive cement extraction. The findings have implications for environmental education, climate governance, and the recognition of performative ecological knowledge in environmental decision-making across Indonesia and the Asia-Pacific region.

这篇文章考察了印尼中爪哇喀斯特山区的Kartinis的抗议歌曲，作为生态知识和气候适应能力的活档案，Kartinis是一群爪哇女农民，她们抵制石灰岩采石和水泥生产。基于2014年至2025年间的定性田野调查，包括深度访谈、参与性观察和对“地球母亲给予、地球母亲受到伤害、地球母亲将寻求正义”的文本分析，本文探讨了生态知识是如何通过具体的文化实践来保存、传播和动员的。位于女权主义档案研究、土著和传统生态知识学术以及性别敏感气候研究的交叉点上，分析表明，肯登天邦同时具有曲目、档案和环境教学的功能。通过歌曲和集体表演，妇女们传播了喀斯特水文学、水资源管理、农业宇宙学和生态责任方面的知识，这些知识在正式的环境治理中基本上是缺失的。这篇文章认为，这种行为知识构成了女权主义的反档案，通过它，女性主张知识权威，同时推进一种非人类中心主义的环境伦理，承认地球是一个道德主体。肯登案例展示了女性的生态知识如何通过保护喀斯特水系统来支持气候适应，以及通过抵制碳密集型水泥开采来支持气候缓解，从而为气候韧性研究做出了贡献。研究结果对印度尼西亚和亚太地区环境决策中的环境教育、气候治理和绩效生态知识的认可具有重要意义。

Drawing on qualitative fieldwork conducted between 2014 and 2025, including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and textual analysis of the tembang “Ibu bumi wis maringi, ibu bumi dilarani, ibu bumi kang ngadili” [Mother Earth has given, Mother Earth has been hurt, Mother Earth will seek justice], the article explores how ecological knowledge is preserved, transmitted, and mobilised through embodied cultural practices. Situated at the intersection of feminist archival studies, Indigenous and Traditional Ecological Knowledge scholarship, and gender-responsive climate research, the analysis demonstrates that the Kendeng tembang functions simultaneously as repertoire, archive, and environmental pedagogy. Through song and collective performance, women transmit knowledge of karst hydrology, water stewardship, agrarian cosmology, and ecological responsibility that remains largely absent from formal environmental governance. The article argues that this performative knowledge constitutes a feminist counter-archive through which women assert epistemic authority while advancing a non-anthropocentric environmental ethic that recognises the earth as a moral subject. The Kendeng case contributes to climate resilience scholarship by showing how women’s ecological knowledge supports climate adaptation through the protection of karst water systems and climate mitigation through resistance to carbon-intensive cement extraction.

Climate change and rapid urbanisation increase flood risks, calling for environmental policy practices integrating flood protection and spatial planning. The need to shift towards more integrated flood risk management (FRM) is widely recognised, but it remains challenging in practice. We posit that the role of values in these processes is an important, yet underexplored, governance challenge. As integrated FRM demands collaboration between experts from different domains, who hold distinct values and perspectives, new or different values may need to be identified or prioritised. In this context, this paper addresses the question: How do public values enable or hamper the implementation of integrated FRM? To answer this, we conducted interviews and workshops with flood protection and spatial planning experts involved in an innovation project of the Dutch Flood Protection Programme. Our results show that integrated FRM is hampered by the fact that experts working in the flood protection and spatial planning domains hold different public values. Flood protection is guided by public values such as efficiency and effectiveness, while spatial planning prioritises sustainability and integrality. When reflecting on these public values, experts proposed new values and reconsidered and shifted domain-specific public values to support integrated FRM. This indicates that public value differences are not static but fluid, and that the gap between domains can be bridged when experts engage in collaborative processes, fostering dialogue and reflection on these values. Making public values explicit creates opportunities for better alignment between domains and has the potential to support the implementation of integrated FRM.

气候变化和快速城市化增加了洪水风险，需要将防洪与空间规划相结合的环境政策实践。人们普遍认识到转向更综合的洪水风险管理（FRM）的必要性，但它在实践中仍然具有挑战性。我们认为，价值观在这些过程中的作用是一个重要的、但尚未得到充分探索的治理挑战。由于综合FRM需要来自不同领域的专家之间的合作，这些专家持有不同的价值观和观点，因此可能需要确定或优先考虑新的或不同的价值观。在这种情况下，本文解决了这个问题：公共价值如何促进或阻碍集成FRM的实现？为了回答这个问题，我们与参与荷兰洪水保护计划创新项目的洪水保护和空间规划专家进行了采访和研讨会。研究结果表明，防洪专家和空间规划专家的公共价值观不同，阻碍了综合FRM的实施。防洪以效率和效益等公共价值为指导，而空间规划则优先考虑可持续性和完整性。在反思这些公共价值观时，专家们提出了新的价值观，并重新考虑和转移了特定领域的公共价值观，以支持集成的FRM。这表明，公共价值观的差异不是静态的，而是流动的，当专家参与协作进程，促进对这些价值观的对话和反思时，领域之间的差距可以弥合。明确公共价值为更好地协调领域之间的关系创造了机会，并且有可能支持集成FRM的实现。
