Over a quarter of projects encountering social resistance have been cancelled, suspended or delayed. We find that (1) Place-based resistance movements are succeeding in curbing both fossil-fuel and low-carbon energy projects. In this article we undertake a systematic mapping of 649 cases of resistance movements to both fossil fuel (FF) and low carbon energy (LCE) projects, providing the most comprehensive overview of such place-based energy-related mobilizations to date.

Our review of empirical ex‐post evaluations of the effects of existing carbon pricing schemes reveals some effects on operational shifts, mainly switching coal to gas power, but no effect on the technological change necessary for full decarbonization. Climate Economics > Economics of Mitigation.So far, there is no empirical evidence of its effectiveness in promoting the technological change necessary for full decarbonization. We conclude that the effectiveness of carbon pricing in stimulating innovation and zero‐carbon investment remains a theoretical argument. Critically, all articles examining the effects on zero‐carbon investment found that existing carbon pricing scheme have had no effect at all. Some articles find short‐term operational effects, especially fuel switching in existing assets, but no article finds mentionable effects on technological change. Here, we review the empirical knowledge available in academic ex‐post analyses of the effectiveness of existing, comparatively high‐price carbon pricing schemes in the European Union, New Zealand, British Columbia, and the Nordic countries. Carbon pricing, in the shape of taxes or emissions trading schemes, is often seen as the main, or only, necessary climate policy instrument, based on theoretical expectations that this would promote innovation and diffusion of the new technologies necessary for full decarbonization. In order to achieve the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, the world must reach net‐zero carbon emissions around mid‐century, which calls for an entirely new energy system.
