Title: Shocking concerns: Public perception about climate change and the macroeconomy
Abstract: In terms of climate change mitigation, one of the widely used benchmarks to assess how on track we are is the 1.5°C, or 2°C, goal laid out in the Paris Agreement.

Title: Cointegration by parts: is there a breaking point in temperature anomalies
Abstract: Cointegration and long-term behaviour is a widely studied field. Usually, it is an econometric method applied to financial assets. However, during the last two decades cointegration relationships have also been investigated among climate related variables. For example, a cointegration between temperatures and radiative forcing has been established. Thus, uncovering cointegrating relationships among important climate variables can help communicate the state of the climate, and possibly support policy makers in making efficient decisions to further mitigate climate change
