Ireland's Climate Action Plan (2019) set ambitious targets for existing dwelling retrofits, including retrofitting 500,000 existing dwellings to a B2-Building Energy Rating (BER) or better by 2030, at an average rate of 50,000 dwellings per annum. Various policies have been established for the achievement of these targets, including establishing One ...

Varieties of Local Implementation for Net Zero in China: Evidence From Three Cities
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Since China updated its nationally determined contributions in 2021, achieving carbon peaking before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060—the so‐called “dual carbon” goals—has become the new guiding principle of China's climate governance. However, few studies have examined the implementation of China's dual carbon goals, particularly the ...

Power, (De)Politicisation and Polycentric Governance: Evidence From UK Local Climate Policy
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article extends (de)politicisation theory to elucidate power dynamics in polycentric governance. It develops an original analytical framework to empirically investigate how governmental, societal and discursive (de)politicisation processes emerge within and across decision‐making centres. The framework focuses on dimensions of technocracy,

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates the seismic response of moment‐resisting frames retrofitted with a stepping rocking wall, with emphasis on weak‐story mitigation and residual drift reduction under both ordinary and pulse‐like ground motions. Nonlinear response‐history analyses are conducted on 9‐story and 20‐story SAC Los Angeles frames.
