  • Estimating the sea level rise responsibility of industrial carbon producers

    Open AccessShaina Sadai, Meghana Ranganathan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Global mean sea levels have risen at an accelerating rate over the past century in response, primarily to greenhouse gas emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels. We use MAGICC7, a reduced complexity climate-carbon cycle model, to quantify how emissions traced to the Carbon Majors, the world’s 122 largest fossil fuel and cement producers, from 1854–2020 contributed to present-day surface air temperature rise, and sea level rise both historic…

  • Uncompensated claims to fair emission space risk putting Paris Agreement goals out of reach

    Open AccessGaurav Ganti, Matthew Gidden et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2023

    Addressing questions of equitable contributions to emission reductions is important to facilitate ambitious global action on climate change within the ambit of the Paris Agreement. Several large developing regions with low historical contributions to global warming have a strong moral claim to a large proportion of the remaining carbon budget (RCB). However, this claim needs to be assessed in a context where the RCB consistent with the long-term …

  • Loss and damage implications of sea-level rise on Small Island Developing States

    Open AccessRosanne Martyr-Koller, Adelle Thomas et al.ARTICLECurrent Opinion in Environmental…2021Cited by: 4References: 5

    Sea-level rise poses a significant threat to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) due to the concentration of people, assets, and infrastructure in coastal zones. This review assesses literature on key emerging topics in sea level rise including: the lasting impact of near-term mitigation on long-term sea-level rise; new global coastal vertical elevation data and their impact on existing sea-level rise projections; and the interaction of sea-lev…

  • The shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions to 2500

    Open AccessMalte Meinshausen, Zebedee Nicholls et al.ARTICLEGeoscientific Model Development2020

    Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are the main driver of current and future climate change. The integrated assessment community has quantified anthropogenic emissions for the shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) scenarios, each of which represents a different future socio-economic projection and political environment. Here, we provide the greenhouse gas concentrations for these SSP scenarios – using the reduced-c…

  • Implications of non-linearities between cumulative CO 2 emissions and CO 2 -induced warming for assessing the remaining carbon budget

    Open AccessZebedee Nicholls, Robert Gieseke et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    To determine the remaining carbon budget, a new framework was introduced in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C (SR1.5). We refer to this as a ‘segmented’ framework because it considers the various components of the carbon budget derivation independently from one another. Whilst implementing this segmented framework, in SR1.5 the assumption was that there is a strictly linear relationship bet…

  • Inconsistencies when applying novel metrics for emissions accounting to the Paris agreement

    Open AccessCarl‐Friedrich Schleussner, Alexander Nauels et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Addressing emissions of non-CO 2 greenhouse gases (GHGs) is an integral part of efficient climate change mitigation and therefore an essential part of climate policy. Metrics are used to aggregate and compare emissions of short- and long-lived GHGs and need to account for the difference in both magnitude and persistence of their climatic effects. Different metrics describe different approaches and perspectives, and hence yield different numerical…

  • Linking sea level rise and socioeconomic indicators under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways

    Open AccessAlexander Nauels, Joeri Rogelj et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    In order to assess future sea level rise and its societal impacts, we need to study climate change pathways combined with different scenarios of socioeconomic development. Here, we present sea level rise (SLR) projections for the Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) storylines and different year-2100 radiative forcing targets (FTs). Future SLR is estimated with a comprehensive SLR emulator that accounts for Antarctic rapid discharge from hydrofract…
