“…Our work may, therefore, be relevant to ongoing lawsuits against ExxonMobil alleging ''deceptive marketing'' and ''greenwashing,'' as well as to calls for policymakers to ban fossil fuel industry advertisements or require that they come with tobacco-style warning labels. [60][61][62][63][64][65] Our research also adds to an expanding scholarly and journalistic AGW literature-spanning emissions accounting and extreme weather attribution; 66,67 supply-side policy analysis; 68-70 decarbonization theory; 71,72 the history of climate denial, lobbying, and propaganda by fossil fuel interests; [73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83] ethical philosophy; 84,85 and climate litigation 86,87 -challenging the zeitgeist of individualized responsibility. Finally, this study contributes to broader literatures on discourse and content analysis; [88][89][90][91] corporate issue management and advocacy marketing; 56,[92][93][94][95][96] and the cross-pollination of corporate strategies of public affairs, litigation, and deceit.…”

“…Therefore, the time frame may be randomly selected, since, if the logic of climate models is applied, all time frames should have been defined as long-term. Municipalities' leaders hide (or deny) information concerning the dangerousness of climate hazards for economic ( Grasso, 2019 ), political ( van Wijnbergen and Willems, 2015 ; Wishart, 2019 ) and/or social reasons ( Bowden et al., 2019 ). …”

The European Commission established the Covenant of Mayors (CoM) initiative in 2008, aimed at involving and supporting mayors to encourage accomplishing the European Union (EU) climate mitigation and energy targets. In 2014, the Mayors Adapt initiative was set up in order to promote the climate adaptation pillar. Whereas the mitigation pillar is more developed and peer-reviewed literature can be found, adaptation is still lagging behind, not to mention the absence of information on the effectiveness of the CoM concerning the development of climate adaptation plans. This paper aims at presenting a thorough analysis of climate hazard data declared by CoM signatories as well as the degree of regional agreement of those signatories when reporting climate data. Thus, we assume that the signatories belonging to the same climate region should report similar climate hazard data for both current and future timeframes. Using a new statistical method for measuring the variability of categorical data, we determine that, overall, the signatories show low agreement within climate regions. Hence, we conclude that the CoM, in the corresponding part of climate risk assessment, is not as effective as it could be desired. Furthermore, several recommendations are proposed to improve the current reporting.

“…The top 10 companies in terms of cumulative emissions all belong to the oil and gas industry. The biggest 60 oil and gas companies contributed to more than 40 per cent of global cumulative industrial emissions in the period 1988–2015; the top 10 accounted for almost 22 per cent, and the top 20 companies for more than 30 per cent (Grasso, 2019).…”

The COVID‐19 virus has caused a crisis for the world's economy and markets. The World Health Organization has declared the virus to be a global pandemic, meaning that it will have a sustained impact worldwide. In response to the shutdown of economies, governments across the world have implemented fiscal and monetary stimulus packages to counteract the disruption caused by the coronavirus. However, with many countries’ economies already slowing before the pandemic, the measures to combat the virus risk sending many countries into full scale recession for the first time since 2009, according to the European Commission. COVID‐19 has demonstrated the vulnerability of global supply chains and the need for more resilient infrastructures. Yet Europe cannot do this alone. The EU can only achieve this by strengthening ties and increasing trade cooperation with Asia and South America, in alignment with the values of sustainability. Prior to the COVID‐19 crisis, however, the EU has had major public disagreements around trade with both regions, essentially on environmental issues. By prioritising cooperation, the EU can work with developing countries in Asia and South America to take tangible steps towards environmentally sustainable production while boosting economic trade.
