Just transition, profit margins and investment protection
Abstract This article assesses whether the interpretation and treatment of profit margins in investment treaty renewable energy disputes may interfere with just transition goals by safeguarding strong profit margins as legal entitlements for ‘green’ investments. There is an ongoi...

The risk of not imaging: a three-scenario framework for justification
Abstract A recurring argument in radiological protection holds that the radiation risk of an imaging examination must be weighed against the clinical risk of not performing it. The argument is applied inconsistently, and evidence on that clinical risk remains sparse compared with...
