A research roadmap for quantifying non-state and subnational climate mitigation action
Non-state and subnational climate actors have become central to global climate change governance. Quantitatively assessing climate mitigation undertaken by these entities is critical to understand the…
Agricultural non-CO2 emission reduction potential in the context of the 1.5 °C target
Agricultural methane and nitrous oxide emissions represent around 10–12% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions and have a key role to play in achieving a 1.5 °C (above pre-industrial) climate…
Greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios for major emitting countries: 2018 update
This report by NewClimate Institute, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) provides an overview of projected greenhouse…
2 °C and 1.5 °C scenarios and possibilities of limiting the use of BECCS and bio-energy
This report presents a set of scenarios that limit global warming to below 2 °C and 1.5 °C, by either using full-technology reduction options as included in the IMAGE and POLES models, or by limiting…
Interactions between climate change mitigation and adaptation: The case of hydropower in Brazil
This paper performs a multi-model comparison to assess strategies for adaptation to climate change impacts in hydropower generation in Brazil under two Representative Concentration Pathways. The…
Nations must triple their efforts in order to achieve the 2 °C climate target, according to the 2018 edition of UNEP’s annual Emissions Gap Report. Although it is still possible to keep global warming…
Are the G20 economies making enough progress to meet their NDC targets?
Under the Paris Agreement, countries committed to a variety of climate actions, including post-2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. This study compares projected GHG emissions in the…
Interactions between social learning and technological learning in electric vehicle futures
The transition to electric vehicles is an important strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars. Modelling future pathways helps identify critical drivers and uncertainties…
