The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Synthesis Report (SYR) Sixth Assessment (AR6) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a component SYR which provides policy-relevant but policy-neutral summary SYR. It consistent with Sections and approved line by Governments at plenary session Change.
Constraining global average temperatures to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels will probably require energy system emissions be halved by 2050 and complete decarbonization 2100. In the nationally orientated climate policy framework codified under Paris Agreement, each nation must decide scale method of their reduction contribution while remaining consistent with carbon budget. This process engagement amongst a wide range stakeholders who have very different visions for physical implementation...
Energy is needed for economic growth, and access to cheap, reliable energy an essential development objective. Historically most incremental demand has been met through fossil fuels; however, in future that will have be low carbon ultimately zero‐carbon. Decarbonization can needs happen at varying speeds all countries, depending on national circumstances. This article reviews the implications of a transition low‐carbon growth current low‐income countries. It sets out empirical findings about...
The election in November 2016 of Donald Trump as a populist, nationalist and unpredictable US President has upended many aspects international relations policy, American national poli...
The objective implicit in the Paris Agreement, net-zero emissions around mid-century, has transformed debate about heavy industry decarbonisation. Prior to Paris, iron and steel, cement concrete, chemicals, other materials sectors were expected reduce absolute by perhaps half 2050, through measures like energy efficiency, biofuels carbon capture storage. Global means that these industries face far deeper transformation potentially costly offsetting. It is also becoming clear, however, very...
A rapid coal phase-out is needed to meet the goals of Paris Agreement, but hindered by serious challenges ranging from vested interests risks social disruption. To understand how organize a global phase-out, it crucial go beyond cost-effective climate mitigation scenarios and learn experience previous transitions. Despite relevance topic, evidence remains fragmented throughout different research fields, not easily accessible. address this gap, paper provides systematic map comprehensive...
Australia is a relative laggard on climate policy, amidst social and political fractures despite rising support for policy in opinion polls. In the 2019 Australian federal election, which was dubbed ‘climate election’, opposition campaigned comparatively ambitious action but government returned status quo policy. We explore social-political determinants of attitudes how they are positioned relation to voting behaviour, context election. use large nationally representative survey voters (n =...
Abstract A rapid phase-out of unabated coal use is essential to limit global warming below 2 °C. This review presents a comprehensive assessment transitions in mitigation scenarios consistent with the Paris Agreement, using data from more than 1500 publicly available generated by 30 integrated models. Our ensemble analysis uses clustering techniques categorize transition pathways models and bridges evidence on technological learning innovation historical energy systems. Six key findings...
Around one‐third of Australia's coal‐fired power stations closed between 2012 and 2017, with most the remainder expected to close over coming decades. Current investment in generation capacity is primarily form alternative power, especially wind solar. In this paper, we conduct an event study assess local unemployment effects station closures, issue considerable interest given prominence economies. Our analysis uses monthly regional labour force survey data from Australian Bureau Statistics....
This paper identifies critical lessons from the climate change experience to guide how communications and engagement on negative emissions can be conducted encourage functional public policy discourse. Negative technologies present a significant opportunity for limiting change, are likely necessary keep warming below 2°C. While concept of is still in its infancy, there evidence nascent polarization, lack nuance discussion individual technologies. We argue that if implemented effectively...
