The EU long-term strategy to reduce GHG emissions in light of the Paris Agreement and the IPCC Special Report on 1.5°C Open
The European Commission's long-term Strategic Vision ""A clean planet for all"" and the In-Depth Analysis supporting it were released on 28 November, 2018. The Commission claims that an 80% reduction of the EU's GHG emissions by 2050 can b…

Fair National Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Under Multiple Equity Perspectives - A Synthesis Framework Open
Equity is one of the key principles underpinning the global climate regime and is all the more essential given the heterogenous, self-differentiated nature of the Paris Agreement. The scientific community has proposed several effort-sharin…

Incremental improvements of 2030 targets insufficient to achieve the Paris Agreement goals Open
Current global mitigation ambition up to 2030 under the Paris Agreement, reflected in the National Determined Contributions (NDCs), is insufficient to achieve the agreement's 1.5 ∘C long-term temperature limit. As governments are preparing…

Decarbonization of Australia’s Energy System: Integrated Modeling of the Transformation of Electricity, Transportation, and Industrial Sectors Open
To achieve the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal, current energy systems must be transformed. Australia represents an interesting case for energy system transformation modeling: with a power system dominated by fossil fuels and,…

Cost-optimal configuration of a renewable-based Australian power system Open
Proposed emission reduction targets and the scarcity of fossil fuel resources make a transition of the energy system towards an emission-free electricity supply necessary. Australia represents an interesting case for energy system transfor…

Inconsistencies when applying novel metrics for emissions accounting to the Paris agreement Open
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-l…

1.5°C Hotspots: Climate Hazards, Vulnerabilities, and Impacts Open
Differentiating the impacts of climate change between 1.5°C and 2°C requires a regional and sector-specific perspective. Whereas for some regions and sectors the difference in climate variables might be indistinguishable from natural varia…

Extending Near‐Term Emissions Scenarios to Assess Warming Implications of Paris Agreement NDCs Open
In the Paris Agreement countries have agreed to act together to hold global warming well below 2°C over preindustrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. To assess if the world is on track to meet this long‐term tempera…

Getting It Right Matters: Temperature Goal Interpretations in Geoscience Research Open
The adoption of the 1.5°C long‐term warming limit in the Paris Agreement made 1.5°C a “hot topic” in the scientific community, with researchers eager to address this issue. Long‐term warming limits have a decade‐long history in internation…

Differential climate impacts for policy-relevant limits to global warming: the case of 1.5 °C and 2 °C Open
Robust appraisals of climate impacts at different levels of global-mean temperature increase are vital to guide assessments of dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. The 2015 Paris Agreement includes a two-headed tem…

Differential climate impacts for policy-relevant limits to global warming: the case of 1.5 °C and 2 °C Open
Robust appraisals of climate impacts at different levels of global-mean temperature increase are vital to guide assessments of dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Currently, two such levels are discussed in the co…

Zero emission targets as long-term global goals for climate protection Open
Recently, assessments have robustly linked stabilization of global-mean temperature rise to the necessity of limiting the total amount of emitted carbon-dioxide (CO2). Halting global warming thus requires virtually zero annual CO2 emission…
