Acknowledgements

The idea for this book emerged through conversations between the two editors, during the period when Kari was a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge in 2019/20. This stay was funded thanks to a postdoctoral fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), without which this book would not have been produced. We also acknowledge the financial support of the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge. This support covered the book’s open-access fee, enabled an author workshop held at Pembroke College, Cambridge, in December 2021 in the middle of the Omicron scare, and supported employment of a part-time editorial assistant. In this latter role, the editors are deeply indebted to the wonderful assistance provided by Maya Goel. Her organisational, literary and intellectual skills are many, and they were all put to excellent use through her liaison with editors and authors, with University and College officers, and with multiple Google Drive folders. At Cambridge University Press, we wish to thank Matt Lloyd for being enthusiastic about our proposal for this book and Sarah Lambert for her speedy and helpful answers to all of our many questions.

Martin Mahony would like to extend thanks to Conrad George for reading and commenting on an earlier draft of Chapter 21. Renzo Taddei would like to acknowledge support received from the São Paulo Research Foundation (project numbers 2014/50848-9 and 2015/50687-8). Irene Lorenzoni and Jordan Harold acknowledge their contribution to the Summaries for Policymakers (SPMs) of the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C, the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land, and the IPCC AR6 WGI SPM (Harold as drafting author to the former two; Harold and Lorenzoni to the latter). Harold and Lorenzoni received funding from the IPCC Working Group III Technical Support Unit to support work on the Special Report on Climate Change and Land. The views expressed in Chapter 25 are the authors’ own and do not necessarily represent the views of the IPCC.

Finally, we thank the Earth Negotiations Bulletin from the International Institute for Sustainable Development, the IPCC and its AR6 Working Group I for permission to use their pictures.
