With growing health risks from rising temperatures in the Global South, lack of essential indoor cooling is increasingly seen as a dimension energy poverty and human well-being. Air conditioning (AC) expected to increase significantly with incomes, but it likely that many who need AC will not have it. We estimate current location extent populations potentially exposed heat stress South. apply variable degree days (VDD) method on global grid demand required meet these needs, accounting for...
Abstract In recent years, there has been growing interest in defining what exactly constitutes “decent living standards” (DLS)—the material underpinnings of human well-being. We assess the gaps providing decent health, shelter, nutrition, socialization, and mobility within countries, across world. Our results show that more people are deprived DLS than income-poor, even when numbers measured against medium income poverty thresholds. estimate cumulative energy needs for building out new...
Abstract Buildings account for 36% of global final energy demand and are key to mitigating climate change. Assessing the evolution building stock its is critical support mitigation strategies. However, most studies lack granularity overlook heterogeneity in sector, limiting evaluation transformation scenarios. We develop residential scenarios along shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) 1–3 assess stock, demand, CO 2 emissions space heating cooling with MESSAGEix-Buildings, a modelling...
Buildings are key in supporting human activities and well-being by providing shelter other important services to their users. are, however, also responsible for major energy use greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during life cycle. Improving the quality of provided buildings while reaching low demand (LED) levels is crucial climate sustainability targets. Building sector models have become essential tools decision support on strategies reduce GHG emissions. Yet current significant limitations...
Abstract The construction materials used in buildings have large and growing implications for global material flows emissions. Material Intensity (MI) is a metric that measures the mass of per unit building’s floor area. MIs are to model buildings’ assess their resource use environmental performance, critical climate commitments. However, MI data availability quality inconsistent, incomparable, limited, especially regions Global South. To address these challenges, we present Regional...
In recent years, discussions surrounding climate change have increasingly emphasized the significance of demand-side solutions. This shift has led to an interdisciplinary and bottom-up approach aimed at supporting global efforts mitigate change. However, conventional modelling tools used understand energy demand system inform policymaking often fall short in capturing dynamics accurately required level granularity. is particularly evident nuanced complex aspects behavioural social changes...
Abstract. The integrated assessment model (IAM) MESSAGEix-GLOBIOM developed by IIASA is widely used to analyze global change and socioeconomic development scenarios within energy land systems across different scales. However, date, the representation of impacts from climate effects water in IAM has been limited. We present a new nexus module for that improves enables analysis interactions between population, economic growth, energy, land, resources dynamic system. uses spatially resolved...
