Life cycle environmental and cost comparison of current and future passenger cars under different energy scenarios
In this analysis, life cycle environmental burdens and total costs of ownership (TCO) of current (2017) and future (2040) passenger cars with different powertrain configurations are compared. For all…
This paper in the Spring 2020 ifo DICE Report on carbon pricing discusses lessons that other regions could learn from European Union’s effort to implement carbon pricing through EU Emission Trading…
Human populations and their use of land have reshaped landscapes for thousands of years, creating the anthropogenic biomes (anthromes) that now cover most of the terrestrial biosphere. Here we…

Mapping the yields of lignocellulosic bioenergy crops from observations at the global scale
Most scenarios from integrated assessment models (IAMs) that project greenhouse gas emissions include the use of bioenergy as a means to reduce CO 2 emissions or even to achieve negative emissions…
Beyond national climate action: the impact of region, city, and business commitments on global greenhouse gas emissions
This article quantifies the net aggregate impact in 2030 of commitments by individual non-state and subnational actors (e.g. regions, cities and businesses, collectively referred to as ‘NSAs’) to…
The costs of achieving climate targets and the sources of uncertainty
Effective climate policy requires information from various scientific disciplines. Here, we construct a metamodel from climate and integrated assessment models that assesses the emissions budget…
How food secure are the green, rocky and middle roads: food security effects in different world development paths
