At the heart of the row, the question of government moving from reliance on ‘evidence-based policy’ to one that seeks to do the opposite: find the right evidence it needs to justify [...]

  • Frying tonight? Climate change and the limits of voluntary action

    added on November 2, 2009 by Peter Truesdale

    The Copenhagen Conference is not just crunch time for efforts to combat destructive climate change. It also questions what are the limits of voluntary corporate responsibility.
