Greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios for major emitting countries: 2019 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…

Strong time dependence of ocean acidification mitigation by atmospheric carbon dioxide removal

In Paris in 2015, the global community agreed to limit global warming to well below 2  ∘C, aiming at even 1.5  ∘C. It is still uncertain whether these targets are sufficient to preserve marine…

Global Carbon Budget 2019

Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere – the “global carbon budget” – is important to…

Trends in Global CO2 and Total Greenhouse Gas emissions. Summary of the 2019 Report

Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased at an annual rate of 1.5%, over the last decade, with only a slight slowdown from 2014 to 2016. In 2018, the growth in global greenhouse gas…

Integrated scenarios to support analysis of the food–energy–water nexus

The literature emphasizes the important relationships between the consumption and production of food, energy and water, and environmental challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity…

Planetary security: in search of drivers of violence and conflict

The potential links between climate change, environmental change, migration and conflict have received growing attention from scientists, media and global institutions over the last decade. This…

UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019

On current unconditional pledges, the world is heading for a 3.2°C temperature rise, according to the 2019 edition of UNEP’s annual Emissions Gap Report. Technologies and policy knowledge exist to cut…

Analysing interactions among Sustainable Development Goals with Integrated Assessment Models

To achieve all Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, it is necessary to understand how they interact with each other. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) represent many human–environment…

Environmental co-benefits and adverse side-effects of alternative power sector decarbonization strategies

A rapid and deep decarbonization of power supply worldwide is required to limit global warming to well below 2 °C. Beyond greenhouse gas emissions, the power sector is also responsible for numerous…

Global construction materials database and stock analysis of residential buildings between 1970-2050

Huge material stocks are embedded in the residential built environment. These materials have the potential to be a source of secondary materials, an important consideration for the transition towards…
