  • Enhancing energy and food access through reduction of income inequality does not jeopardize the achievement of existing climate pledges

    Open AccessJon Sampedro, Dirk-Jan Van De Ven et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Reducing within-region income inequality is a global priority that must be urgently addressed to promote human development and enhance global access to energy and food. This could lead to higher energy-related emissions by lower-income consumers, potentially creating some conflicts with climate change mitigation objectives. Using an enhanced version of the Global Change Analysis Model, we simulate reductions of within-region income inequality tha…

  • Seeing the forest for the trees

    Open AccessKanishka B Narayan, Pralit Patel et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Studies have found that understanding forest management is critical in understanding the interaction between the carbon cycle and the integrated human-Earth system. This makes effectively representing forest management decisions such as planting and harvesting important. Here, we implement a novel dynamic forest harvest model in a global state of the art multi-sector dynamics model, namely the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM). We implement an …

  • 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…

  • The impact of agricultural trade approaches on global economic modeling

    Open AccessXin Zhao, Marshall Wise et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2022Citada por: 1Referências: 11

    Researchers explore future economic and climate scenarios using global economic and integrated assessment models to understand long-term interactions between human development and global environmental changes. However, differences in trade modeling approaches are an important source of uncertainty in these types of assessments, particularly for regional projections. In this study, we modified the Global Change Analysis Model (GCAM) to include a n…

  • Assessing the future of global energy-for-water

    Open AccessPage Kyle, Mohamad Hejazi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    This study incorporates the energy demands of water abstraction, treatment, distribution, and post-use wastewater treatment into the Global Change Analysis Model, an integrated human-Earth systems model, and analyzes a range of scenarios that estimate the future evolution of this demand of energy. The study complements research on historical and future water-for-energy, and builds on bottom-up estimates of historical energy-for-water (EFW), by in…

  • 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…

  • Food–energy–water implications of negative emissions technologies in a +1.5 °C future

  • 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…

  • 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 …

  • Implementing nationally determined contributions

    Open AccessSha Yu, Meredydd Evans et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The Nationally Determined Contributions are allowing countries to examine options for reducing emissions through a range of domestic policies. India, like many developing countries, has committed to reducing emissions through specific policies, including building energy codes. Here we assess the potential of these sectoral policies to help in achieving mitigation targets. Collectively, it is critically important to see the potential impact of suc…

  • Regional responses to future, demand-driven water scarcity

    Open AccessRyna Cui, Ryna Yiyun Cui et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    This paper explores regional response strategies to potential water scarcity. Using a model of integrated human-earth system dynamics (GCAM), we test a wide range of alternate water demand scenarios to explore regional response strategies. We create a typology that categorizes countries and basins according to their responses in electricity and agriculture to potential water scarcity. Three different categories are found. First, little response i…

  • Global scenarios of urban density and its impacts on building energy use through 2050

    Open AccessBurak Güneralp, Yuyu Zhou et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2017

    Significance Urban density significantly impacts urban energy use and the quality of life of urban residents. Here, we provide a global-scale analysis of future urban densities and associated energy use in the built environment under different urbanization scenarios. The relative importance of urban density and energy-efficient technologies varies geographically. In developing regions, urban density tends to be the more critical factor in buildin…

  • The contribution of Paris to limit global warming to 2 °C

    Open AccessGokul Iyer, Gokul C Iyer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    The international community has set a goal to limit global warming to 2 °C. Limiting global warming to 2 °C is a challenging goal and will entail a dramatic transformation of the global energy system, largely complete by 2040. As part of the work toward this goal, countries have been submitting their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, indicating their emissions reduct…

  • Sensitivity of climate mitigation strategies to natural disturbances

    Open AccessYannick Le Page, G C Hurtt et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    The present and future concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide depends on both anthropogenic and natural sources and sinks of carbon. Most proposed climate mitigation strategies rely on a progressive transition to carbon-efficient technologies to reduce industrial emissions, substantially supported by policies to maintain or enhance the terrestrial carbon stock in forests and other ecosystems. This strategy may be challenged if terrestrial se…

  • Rcp4.5

    Open AccessAllison M Thomson, Katherine Calvin et al.ARTICLEClimatic Change2011

    Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5 is a scenario that stabilizes radiative forcing at 4.5 W m −2 in the year 2100 without ever exceeding that value. Simulated with the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM), RCP4.5 includes long-term, global emissions of greenhouse gases, short-lived species, and land-use-land-cover in a global economic framework. RCP4.5 was updated from earlier GCAM scenarios to incorporate historical emissions and la…
