‘Shattering’ and ‘Violent’ Forces : Gender, Ecology, and Catastrophe in George Eliot's The Mill on the Floss

(In)justice in modelled climate futures : A review of integrated assessment modelling critiques through a justice lens

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have become the dominant approach for envisioning different mitigation scenarios. While they are not intended to deal with justice, IAM assumptions and structure have justice implications that have not been explicitly discussed or clearly elucidated in critical accounts of modelling practices. Given their key influence in policy decisions and the increasing impe
