  • A multi-model assessment of inequality and climate change

    Open AccessJohannes Emmerling, Pietro Andreoni et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2024

    Climate change and inequality are critical and interrelated issues. Despite growing empirical evidence on the distributional implications of climate policies and climate risks, mainstream model-based assessments are often silent on the interplay between climate change and economic inequality. Here we fill this gap through an ensemble of eight large-scale integrated assessment models that belong to different economic paradigms and feature income h…

  • Climate change impacts increase economic inequality: Evidence from a systematic literature review

    Open AccessAurélie Méjean, Peron A Collins-Sowah et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    While it is widely assumed that poor countries will suffer more from climate change, and that climate change will exacerbate inequalities within countries, systematic and large-scale evidence on this issue has been limited. In this systematic literature review, we examine and synthesize the evidence from the literature. Drawing from 127 individual papers, we find robust evidence that climate change impacts indeed increase economic inequality and …

  • The impact of energy sector pollution on human development and inequality amidst climate change

    Open AccessSebastian Rauner, Franziska Piontek et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    The provision of energy is a primary contributor to climate change and environmental pollution, the latter including air pollution from aerosol emissions and a broad range of other human health effects and ecosystem damages. At the same time, aerosol emissions also reduce radiative forcing, leading to a masking of part of the warming due to rising CO 2 concentrations and temporarily reducing the adverse impacts of climate change. Using an energy-…

  • Representation of adaptation in quantitative climate assessments

  • New damage curves and multimodel analysis suggest lower optimal temperature

  • Exploring risks and benefits of overshooting a 1.5 °C carbon budget over space and time

    Open AccessNico Bauer, David Keller et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Temperature targets of the Paris Agreement limit global net cumulative emissions to very tight carbon budgets. The possibility to overshoot the budget and offset near-term excess emissions by net-negative emissions is considered economically attractive as it eases near-term mitigation pressure. While potential side effects of carbon removal deployment are discussed extensively, the additional climate risks and the impacts and damages have attract…

  • Net zero-emission pathways reduce the physical and economic risks of climate change

    Open AccessLaurent Drouet, Valentina Bosetti et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2021

  • Integrated perspective on translating biophysical to economic impacts of climate change

    Open AccessFranziska Piontek, Laurent Drouet et al.ARTICLENature Climate Change2021

  • 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…

  • Assessing the impacts of 1.5 °C global warming – simulation protocol of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (Isimip2b)

    Open AccessKatja Frieler, Stefan Lange et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2017

    In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a special report in 2018 on the impacts of global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. In Nairobi, Kenya, April 2016, the IPCC panel accepted the invitation. Here we describe th…

  • Fossil-fueled development (SSP5): An energy and resource intensive scenario for the 21st century

    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 …

  • The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISI–MIP): Project framework

    Open AccessLila Warszawski, Katja Frieler et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    The Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project offers a framework to compare climate impact projections in different sectors and at different scales. Consistent climate and socio-economic input data provide the basis for a cross-sectoral integration of impact projections. The project is designed to enable quantitative synthesis of climate change impacts at different levels of global warming. This report briefly outlines the objectives an…

  • Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change

    Open AccessJacob Schewe, Jens Heinke et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries today. Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally, increase the pressure on available water resources. On the supply side, renewable water resources will be affected by projected changes in precipitation patterns, temperature, and other climate variables. Here we use a large ensemble of global hydrological models (GHMs) forc…

  • Assessing agricultural risks of climate change in the 21st century in a global gridded crop model intercomparison

    Open AccessCynthia Rosenzweig, Joshua Elliott et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Significance Agriculture is arguably the sector most affected by climate change, but assessments differ and are thus difficult to compare. We provide a globally consistent, protocol-based, multimodel climate change assessment for major crops with explicit characterization of uncertainty. Results with multimodel agreement indicate strong negative effects from climate change, especially at higher levels of warming and at low latitudes where develop…

  • A multi-model analysis of risk of ecosystem shifts under climate change

    Open AccessLila Warszawski, A D Friend et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Climate change may pose a high risk of change to Earth’s ecosystems: shifting climatic boundaries may induce changes in the biogeochemical functioning and structures of ecosystems that render it difficult for endemic plant and animal species to survive in their current habitats. Here we aggregate changes in the biogeochemical ecosystem state as a proxy for the risk of these shifts at different levels of global warming. Estimates are based on simu…
