Stocktake of G20 countries’ climate pledges reveals limited macroeconomic costs and employment shifts
Reaching the Paris Agreement temperature targets requires a substantial increase in individual countries’ ambition to reduce GHG emissions. Research on the macroeconomic implications of global decarbonization pathways is limited, often focuses on the energy sector, and ignores shifts toward non-energy sectors, leading to concerns regarding unemployment and economic losses. We aim to analyze the mitigation options to bring emissions in line with a…
Cost and attainability of meeting stringent climate targets without overshoot
Net zero-emission pathways reduce the physical and economic risks of climate change
Land-based implications of early climate actions without global net-negative emissions
Taking stock of national climate policies to evaluate implementation of the Paris Agreement
Many countries have implemented national climate policies to accomplish pledged Nationally Determined Contributions and to contribute to the temperature objectives of the Paris Agreement on climate change. In 2023, the global stocktake will assess the combined effort of countries. Here, based on a public policy database and a multi-model scenario analysis, we show that implementation of current policies leaves a median emission gap of 22.4 to 28.…
Reducing stranded assets through early action in the Indian power sector
Cost-effective achievement of the Paris Agreement’s long-term goals requires the unanimous phase-out of coal power generation by mid-century. However, continued investments in coal power plants will make this transition difficult. India is one of the major countries with significant under construction and planned increase in coal power capacity. To ascertain the likelihood and consequences of the continued expansion of coal power for India’s futu…
Early transformation of the Chinese power sector to avoid additional coal lock-in
Emission reduction from the coal-dominated power sector is vital for achieving China’s carbon mitigation targets. Although the coal expansion has been slowed down due to the cancellation of and delay in new construction, coal-based power was responsible for over one third of China’s energy-related CO 2 emissions by 2018. Moreover, with a technical lifetime of over 30 years, current investment in coal-based power could hinder CO 2 mitigation until…
