Abstract. This paper presents the new and now open-source version 2.1 of REgional Model INvestments Development (REMIND). REMIND, as an integrated assessment model (IAM), provides view global energy–economy–emissions system explores self-consistent transformation pathways. It describes a broad range possible futures their relation to technical socio-economic developments well policy choices. REMIND is multiregional incorporating economy detailed representation energy sector implemented in...
Making the global energy system more sustainable has emerged as a major societal concern and policy objective. This transition comes with various challenges opportunities for evolution affecting most of UN's Sustainable Development Goals. We therefore propose broadening current metrics sustainability in modeling field by using industrial ecology techniques to account conclusive set indicators. is pursued including life cycle based assessment into an model considering all relevant products...
Abstract For light-duty vehicles (LDVs), alternative powertrains and liquid fuels based on renewable electricity are competing options considered by policymakers stakeholders for achieving necessary CO 2 emission reductions in the transport sector. While urgency of climate change need to reach mitigation targets well understood, system-wide implications along other sustainability dimensions further exploration. We integrate a detailed system model into an integrated assessment framework...
Abstract Social and environmental agendas are intricately connected shape the international policy discourse. To support these discussions, we provide a framework to interpret energy demand supply-side transition results from global scenarios lens of societal well-being minimum resource needs. We develop apply new model called DESIRE (Decent living standards Environment in Scenarios considering Inequality Resource Efficiency) fill critical gap modelling inequality-growth-efficiency...
Abstract The current nationally determined contributions, pledged by the countries under Paris Agreement, are far from limiting climate change to below 2 ∘ C temperature increase end of century. necessary ratcheting up policy is projected come with a wide array additional benefits, in particular reduction today’s 4.5 million annual premature deaths due poor air quality. This paper therefore addresses question how and pollution–related health impacts interplay until 2050 developing...
Current National Determined Contributions require strengthening to achieve the 2-degree target set in Paris Agreement. Here, we contrast two mitigation effort ideas: "burden-sharing" principle, which requires each region meet goal through domestic with no international cooperation, and cooperation focused "cost effective conditional-enhancing" combines carbon trading low-carbon investment transfer. By applying a burden-sharing model covering several equity principles, analyze 2030 burden for...

Abstract 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 strategies include market- technology-driven green-growth, shifting sufficiency-oriented post-growth economy, driven primarily by strong government action. Here we quantify three alternative pathways (SDPs), Economy-driven Innovation, Resilient...
Abstract The future of food and land systems is crucial for achieving multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, given their essential role in providing adequate nutrition significant impact on Earth system processes. Despite widespread consensus the need transformation, discussed strategies vary widely, from technology-driven to sufficiency-focused approaches, emphasizing different agents change policy mixes. This study assesses implications a new generation target-seeking scenarios...
Abstract The provision of energy is a primary contributor to climate change and environmental pollution, the latter including air pollution from aerosol emissions broad range other human health effects ecosystem damages. At same time, also reduce radiative forcing, leading masking part warming due rising CO 2 concentrations temporarily reducing adverse impacts change. Using an energy-economy-climate model linked atmospheric chemistry, impact life cycle assessment models, we show that...
Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic reveals that societies place a high value on healthy lives. Leveraging this momentum to establish more central role for human health in the policy process will provide further impetus sustainable transformation of energy and food systems.
With an ambitious target of 175 GW renewable energy by 2022, India wishes to move towards the path sustainable growth and reduce emissions greenhouse gases.As nation targets its emission intensity per unit GDP 33 35 percent in 2030, decarbonization electricity generation through clean technology would lead a supply, thereby mitigating climate change impacts.The extension renewables is critical achieve economic while managing cost implications.In this paper, bottom up commitment model used...
