  • Ocean liming can help achieve the Paris climate target

    Open AccessJessica Strefler, Katarzyna Kowalczyk et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    To stabilize global mean temperature and stay below critical thresholds, deep emission reductions have to be complemented with carbon dioxide removal. A broad portfolio of options is necessary to enable sufficient potential and mitigate sustainability concerns. So far, integrated assessment models have almost exclusively considered options on land. In this study, we show that ocean liming can make a substantial contribution to achieving ambitious…

  • Multiple pathways towards sustainable development goals and climate targets

    Open AccessBjoern Soergel, Sebastian Rauner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate target require a holistic transformation towards human well-being within planetary boundaries. However, there are growing debates on how to best pursue these targets. Proposed transformation strategies include market- and technology-driven green-growth, shifting towards a sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, and a transformation driven primarily by strong government action. He…

  • Economic damages from on-going climate change imply deeper near-term emission cuts

    Open AccessAnselm Schultes, Franziska Piontek et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Pathways toward limiting global warming to well below 2 C, as used by the IPCC in the Fifth Assessment Report, do not consider the climate impacts already occurring below 2 C. Here we show that accounting for such damages significantly increases the near-term ambition of transformation pathways. We use econometric estimates of climate damages on GDP growth and explicitly model the uncertainty in the persistence time of damages. The Integrated Ass…

  • Deep decarbonisation of buildings energy services through demand and supply transformations in a 1.5°C scenario

    Open AccessAntoine Levesque, Robert Pietzcker et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Buildings energy consumption is one of the most important contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions worldwide, responsible for 23% of energy-related CO 2 emissions. Decarbonising the energy demand of buildings will require two types of strategies: first, an overall reduction in energy demand, which could, to some extent, be achieved at negative costs; and second through a reduction of the carbon content of energy via fuel switching and suppl…

  • Common but differentiated leadership

    Open AccessFelix Schreyer, Gunnar Luderer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Given their historic emissions and economic capability, we analyze a leadership role for representative industrialized regions (EU, US, Japan, and Australia) in the global climate mitigation effort. Using the global integrated assessment model REMIND, we systematically compare region-specific mitigation strategies and challenges of reaching domestic net-zero carbon emissions in 2050. Embarking from different emission profiles and trends, we find …

  • Enhancing global climate policy ambition towards a 1.5 °C stabilization

    Open AccessZoi Vrontisi, Gunnar Luderer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The Paris Agreement is a milestone in international climate policy as it establishes a global mitigation framework towards 2030 and sets the ground for a potential 1.5 C climate stabilization. To provide useful insights for the 2018 UNFCCC Talanoa facilitative dialogue, we use eight state-of-the-art climate-energy-economy models to assess the effectiveness of the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) in meeting high probability 1.5…

  • The Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and their energy, land use, and greenhouse gas emissions implications

    Open AccessKeywan Riahi, Detlef P Van Vuuren et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 311References: 12

    This paper presents the overview of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) and their energy, land use, and emissions implications. The SSPs are part of a new scenario framework, established by the climate change research community in order to facilitate the integrated analysis of future climate impacts, vulnerabilities, adaptation, and mitigation. The pathways were developed over the last years as a joint community effort and describe plausible…

  • Fossil-fueled development (SSP5)

    Open AccessElmar Kriegler, Nico Bauer et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2016Cited by: 39References: 4

    This paper presents a set of energy and resource intensive scenarios based on the concept of Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs). The scenario family is characterized by rapid and fossil-fueled development with high socio-economic challenges to mitigation and low socio-economic challenges to adaptation (SSP5). A special focus is placed on the SSP5 marker scenario developed by the REMIND-MAgPIE integrated assessment modeling framework. The SSP5 …
