Climate policy through changing consumption choices: Options and obstacles for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
While national climate policy can address countries’ production or consumption, climate mitigation via changes in consumption has previously received relatively little attention in climate policy…
The role of technology for achieving climate policy objectives: overview of the EMF 27 study on global technology and climate policy strategies
This article presents the synthesis of results from the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum Study 27, an inter-comparison of 18 energy-economy and integrated assessment models. The study investigated the…
A new scenario framework for climate change research: the concept of shared climate policy assumptions
The new scenario framework facilitates the coupling of multiple socioeconomic reference pathways with climate model products using the representative concentration pathways. This will allow for…
Crop yield response to soil fertility and N, P, K inputs in different environments: Testing and improving the QUEFTS model
Global food production strongly depends on availability of nutrients. Assessment of future global phosphorus (P) fertilizer demand in interaction with nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilizers under…
Are major economies on track to achieve their pledges for 2020? An assessment of domestic climate and energy policies
Many of the major greenhouse gas emitting countries have planned and/or implemented domestic mitigation policies, such as carbon taxes, feed-in tariffs, or standards. This study analyses whether the…
Implications of innovative options for transport on the level of the energy system
There are several options for a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from transport, in the Netherlands, by 2050. In addition to efficiency improvements, new types of fuels, such as electricity…
Analysing the impacts of including REDD credits in carbon markets
Larger global emission reductions and lower overall abatement costs can be achieved if REDD (reducing emisions from deforestation) credits are included in a future carbon market. One of the key…
Bioenergy in energy transformation and climate management
This study explores the importance of bioenergy to potential future energy transformation and climate change management. Using a large inter-model comparison of 15 models, we comprehensively…
CO2 emission mitigation and fossil fuel markets: Dynamic and international aspects of climate policies
This paper explores a multi-model scenario ensemble to assess the impacts of idealized and non-idealized climate change stabilization policies on fossil fuel markets. Under idealized conditions…
Locked into Copenhagen pledges — Implications of short-term emission targets for the cost and feasibility of long-term climate goals
This paper provides an overview of the AMPERE modeling comparison project with focus on the implications of near-term policies for the costs and attainability of long-term climate objectives. Nine…
