TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the scientific knowledge divide in the environmental sciences between developed and developing countries and explore the implications and impacts on both science and policymaking, concluding that the limited empirical source and focus of environmental research undermine the claims of universality of environmental science and what consequences this may have on policymaking processes at different levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore and compare three different principles for allocating responsibility for governance in a multi-level context of addressing sustainable development: culpability, capacity and concern.
