  • Understanding regional heterogeneity in energy systems and energy affordability

    Open AccessTaryn Waite, Ying Zhang et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2026References: 2

    Fossil fuel extraction plays a major role in Alaska's economy, with taxes and royalties paid by oil producers contributing significantly to revenue at the state and local levels. This dependence on the fossil fuel industry leaves the state and its communities vulnerable to global and regional changes in energy prices. Meanwhile, remote communities in Arctic Alaska face persistent residential energy insecurity due to high fuel prices despite the s…

  • Rate and growth limits for carbon capture and storage

    Open AccessJay Fuhrman, Joe Lane et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    CO 2 capture and storage (CCS) in geological reservoirs is expected to play a large role in low-emissions scenarios from multi-sector human Earth system models. Yet these scenarios have often projected near-term CCS deployments that far exceed what is currently planned, l et al one operational. They have also failed to consider regional differences in capacity to deploy large-scale CO 2 capture, transport, and subsurface injection. Here, we updat…

  • Residential energy demand, emissions, and expenditures at regional and income-decile level for alternative futures

    Open AccessJon Sampedro, Stephanie Waldhoff et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Income and its distribution profile are important determinants of residential energy demand and carry direct implications for human well-being and climate. We explore the sensitivity of residential energy systems to income growth and distribution across shared socioeconomic pathway-representative concentration pathways scenarios using a global, integrated, multisector dynamics model, Global Change Analysis Model, which tracks national/regional ho…

  • IPCC emission scenarios

    Open AccessJiesper Strandsbjerg Tristan Pedersen, Jiesper Tristan Strandsbjerg Pedersen…ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2022Cited by: 4References: 17

    Long-term global emission scenarios enable the analysis of future climate change, impacts, and response strategies by providing insight into possible future developments and linking these different climate research elements. Such scenarios play a crucial role in the climate change literature informing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Assessment Reports (ARs) and support policymakers. This article reviews the evolution of emi…

  • Assessing China’s efforts to pursue the 1.5°C warming limit

    Open AccessHongbo Duan, Sheng Zhou et al.ARTICLEScience2021

    Change in the air The 2016 Paris Agreement set the ambitious goals of keeping global temperature rise this century below 2°C, or even better, 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. Substantial interventions are required to meet these goals, particularly for industrialized countries. Duan et al. projected that China will need to reduce its carbon emissions by more than 90% and its energy consumption by almost 40% to do its share in reaching the 1.5°C t…

  • Implications of different income distributions for future residential energy demand in the U.S

    Open AccessJon Sampedro, Gokul Iyer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Future income distribution will affect energy demand and its interactions with various societal priorities. Most future model simulations assume a single average consumer and thus miss this important demand determinant. We quantify long-term implications of alternative future income distributions for state-level residential energy demand, investment, greenhouse gas, and pollutant emission patterns in the United States (U.S.) by incorporating inco…

  • Geospatial assessment of the economic opportunity for reforestation in Maryland, USA

    Open AccessRachel Lamb, Lei Ma et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Afforestation and reforestation have the potential to provide effective climate mitigation through forest carbon sequestration. Strategic reforestation activities, which account for both carbon sequestration potential (CSP) and economic opportunity, can provide attractive options for policymakers who must manage competing social and environmental goals. In particular, forest carbon pricing can incentivize reforestation on private land, but this m…

  • The role of direct air capture and negative emissions technologies in the shared socioeconomic pathways towards +1.5 °C and +2 °C futures

    Open AccessJay Fuhrman, Andrés F Clarens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    The development of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and associated integrated assessment modeling (IAM) exercises did not include direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS) in their scenarios. However, recent more optimistic cost estimates and commercial or pilot-scale DACCS plants have led to increased attention to this technology in both IAM literature and in real-world policy discussions. DACCS is an energy-consuming negative emiss…

  • Global agricultural responses to interannual climate and biophysical variability

    Open AccessXin Zhao, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Agricultural production is highly sensitive to changes in climate and weather patterns. The focus of the great majority of studies assessing climate impacts on agriculture has been on mean changes in agricultural responses. However, the manner in which global agricultural markets respond to the interannual variability of the climate and biophysical shocks is poorly understood. Here we show a strong transmission of interannual variations in climat…

  • Taking stock of national climate policies to evaluate implementation of the Paris Agreement

    Open AccessMark Roelfsema, Heleen Van Soest et al.ARTICLENature Communications2020

    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.…

  • Integrated energy-water-land nexus planning to guide national policy

    Open AccessZarrar Khan, Thomas Wild et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Despite broad consensus on the benefits of a nexus approach to multi-sector planning, actual implementation in government and other decision-making institutions is still rare. This study presents an approach to conducting integrated energy-water-land (EWL) planning, using Uruguay as an example. This stakeholder-driven study focuses on assessing the EWL nexus implications of actual planned policies aimed at strengthening three of Uruguay’s key exp…

  • Future climate impacts on global agricultural yields over the 21st century

    Open AccessStephanie Waldhoff, Ian Sue Wing et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Analyses of the future impacts of changing crop yields on agricultural production, prices, food security, and GDP growth using Integrated Assessment models require country-level yield shocks due to changing weather conditions, for a wide range of crops and warming scenarios. We characterize impacts of different climate futures on crop yields for individual countries and years. We use historical crop yield and weather data to empirically estimate …

  • GCAM v5.1

    Open AccessKatherine Calvin, Pralit Patel et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2019

    This paper describes GCAM v5.1, an open source model that represents the linkages between energy, water, land, climate, and economic systems. GCAM is a market equilibrium model, is global in scope, and operates from 1990 to 2100 in 5-year time steps. It can be used to examine, for example, how changes in population, income, or technology cost might alter crop production, energy demand, or water withdrawals, or how changes in one region's demand f…

  • Climate and carbon budget implications of linked future changes in CO 2 and non-CO 2 forcing

    Open AccessFelipe Feijoo, Bryan K Mignone et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The approximate proportional relationship between cumulative carbon emissions and instantaneous global temperature rise (the carbon budget approximation) has proven to be a useful concept to translate policy-relevant temperature objectives into CO 2 emissions pathways. However, when non-CO 2 forcing is changing along with CO 2 forcing, errors in the approximation increases. Using the GCAM model to produce an ensemble of ~3000 scenarios, we show t…

  • Stranded asset implications of the Paris Agreement in Latin America and the Caribbean

    Open AccessMatthew Binsted, Gokul Iyer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Achieving the Paris Agreement’s near-term goals (nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) and long-term temperature targets could result in pre-mature retirement, or stranding, of carbon-intensive assets before the end of their useful lifetime. We use an integrated assessment model to quantify the implications of the Paris Agreement for stranded assets in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a developing region with the least carbon-intens…

  • Humans drive future water scarcity changes across all Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

    Open AccessNeal T Graham, Mohamad Hejazi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Future changes in climate and socioeconomic systems will drive both the availability and use of water resources, leading to evolutions in scarcity. The contributions of both systems can be quantified individually to understand the impacts around the world, but also combined to explore how the coevolution of energy-water-land systems affects not only the driver behind water scarcity changes, but how human and climate systems interact in tandem to …

  • Net-zero emissions energy systems

    Open AccessSteven J Davis, Nathan S Lewis et al.ARTICLEScience2018

    Path to zero carbon emissions Models show that to avert dangerous levels of climate change, global carbon dioxide emissions must fall to zero later this century. Most of these emissions arise from energy use. Davis et al. review what it would take to achieve decarbonization of the energy system. Some parts of the energy system are particularly difficult to decarbonize, including aviation, long-distance transport, steel and cement production, and …

  • Global economic consequences of deploying bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

    Open AccessMatteo Muratori, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) is considered a potential source of net negative carbon emissions and, if deployed at sufficient scale, could help reduce carbon dioxide emissions and concentrations. However, the viability and economic consequences of large-scale BECCS deployment are not fully understood. We use the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) integrated assessment model to explore the potential global and regional econ…
