CSDE Affiliate Ann Bostrom and colleagues recently published an analysis of differences in perceived disaster risks across Sendai, Japan and Seattle, WA. The paper, available in full HERE, compares survey results across each of these communities and explores each community’s willingness to pay for Earthquake Early Warning systems, which represent a large public investment in disaster preparedness.
Curran and Colleagues Review Possibilities of Forest Restoration in Low- and Middle-Income Countries in New Publication
CSDE Director Sara Curran and co-authors recently published an Annual Review of Environment and Resources article on the state of knowledge about forest restoration (FR) as a climate mitigation strategy in low- and middle-income countries. Their review finds that while there may be possibilities for extensive mitigation through scaling up of FR, there are also significant and complicating mediating factors related to migration and livelihoods, as well as the ecological and silvicultural conditions, in those countries. The full article is available through open access.
