This paper presents a set of energy and resource intensive scenarios based on the concept Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs). The scenario family is characterized by rapid fossil-fueled development with high socio-economic challenges to mitigation low adaptation (SSP5). A special focus placed SSP5 marker developed REMIND-MAgPIE integrated assessment modeling framework. baseline exhibit very levels fossil fuel use, up doubling global food demand, tripling demand greenhouse gas emissions...
This document describes the REMIND model in its version 1.6. is an integrated assessment of energy-economy-climate system. stands for "Regional Model Investments and Development."
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...
The Paris Agreement's very ambitious mitigation goals, notably to 'pursue efforts' limit warming 1.5°C, imply that climate policy will remain a national affair for some time. One key obstacle is makers perceive this be in competition with major goals of fiscal policy, such as public investment or debt reduction. However, may actually contribute these other objectives. Importantly, many implications substantial carbon prices, which are essential stringent targets the 1.5°C goal, have long...
Pathways toward limiting global warming to well below 2 ∘C, as used by the IPCC in Fifth Assessment Report, do not consider climate impacts already occurring ∘C. Here we show that accounting for such damages significantly increases near-term ambition of transformation pathways. We use econometric estimates on GDP growth and explicitly model uncertainty persistence time damages. The Integrated Model includes system mitigation technology detail required derive policies. find an optimal carbon...
Research on low-carbon transformation pathways has focused carbon pricing as a means for climate stabilization. By contrast, technology policies remain the more prominent national policy instruments today: renewable energy subsidies amount to than US$100 billion per year globally – twice value of priced in 2016. Given spillovers and global learning effects, it remains unclear how can be coordinated internationally part stabilization policy. Our study is first derive optimal 2∘C target using...

Climate change economics mostly neglects sizeable interactions of carbon pricing with other fiscal policy instruments. Conversely, public finance typically overlooks the effects future decarbonization efforts when devising instruments for major goals policy. We argue that such a compartmentalisation is undesirable: design taking into account interdependencies may enhance welfare and distribution mitigation costs within across generations. This claim substantiated by analyzing six between...
