Abstract The Paris climate goals and the Glasgow Climate Pact require anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions to decline net zero by mid-century. This will overcoming lock-in throughout energy system. Previous studies have focused on ‘committed emissions’ from capital investments in energy-consuming infrastructure, or potential (committed uncommitted) fossil fuel reserves. Here we make first bottom-up assessment of committed CO fuel-producing defined as existing under-construction oil...
Equity issues have long been debated within international climate politics, focused on fairly distributing reductions in territorial emissions and fossil fuel consumption. There is a growing recognition among scholars policymakers that curbing supply (as well as demand) can be valuable part of the policy toolbox; this raises question where how tool should applied. This paper explores to equitably manage social dimensions rapid transition away from extraction. Fossil extraction leads benefits...
Abstract Carbon emissions—and hence fossil fuel combustion—must decline rapidly if warming is to be held below 1.5 or 2 °C. Yet fuels are so deeply entrenched in the broader economy that a rapid transition poses challenge of significant transitional disruption. Fossil must phased out even as access energy services for basic needs and economic development expands, particularly developing countries. Nations, communities, workers economically dependent on extraction will need find new...
Abstract Non-technical summary We identify a set of essential recent advances in climate change research with high policy relevance, across natural and social sciences: (1) looming inevitability implications overshooting the 1.5°C warming limit, (2) urgent need for rapid managed fossil fuel phase-out, (3) challenges scaling carbon dioxide removal, (4) uncertainties regarding future contribution sinks, (5) intertwinedness crises biodiversity loss change, (6) compound events, (7) mountain...
A social-moral norm against new fossil fuel projects has strong potential to contribute achieving global climate goals.
This article analyses the problems inherent in long-term oil production contracts proposed by Iraq's draft law. The examines means which companies attempt to avoid risk: price risk, security risk and political risk. Meanwhile, same insist on securing corresponding upside: chance of ever-higher profits. As these risks are externalized host state, respectively they impact revenues, human rights state's citizens sovereignty manage its natural resources, or even pass legislation. use such a...
Abstract In IPCC pathways limiting warming to 1.5˚C, global coal power generation declines rapidly, due its emissions intensity and substitutability. However, at the national level, we find that in countries highly dependent on - China, India South Africa this translates a decline twice as fast achieved historically for any technology country, relative system size. To explore more societally feasible balance of mitigation, constrain an integrated assessment model Powering Past Coal...
An international campaign was waged questioning the benefits of BP's Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline in an effort to avoid a “zone sacrifice” there. This article is offshoot that and explains contemporary struggle over project. The authors describe project's background evaluate actual potential impacts project which they consider eight areas. They also assess capacity confront resistance pipeline.
Abstract ‘It has nothing to do with oil, literally oil’, said US Defense Secretary Rumsfeld in 2002, of the planned attack on Iraq. Politicians and conservative commentators United States Kingdom were insistent this point, even while it felt obvious many their countries, Iraq itself, that oil objectives central. This article will review what we now know about discussions took place during war planning execution, based documents have been released fifteen years since. It examine nature...
