The adoption of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 moved world a step closer to avoiding dangerous climate change. aggregated individual intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) are not yet sufficient be consistent with long-term goals agreement 'holding increase global average temperature well below 2°C' and 'pursuing efforts' towards 1.5°C. However, gives hope that this inconsistency can resolved. We find many conservative some cases may overachieved. also preparation INDCs...
This article quantifies the net aggregate impact in 2030 of commitments by individual non-state and subnational actors (e.g. regions, cities businesses, collectively referred to as 'NSAs') reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The analysis was conducted for NSAs operating within ten major emitting economies that together accounted roughly two-thirds global GHG emissions 2016. Our assessment includes 79 regions states provinces), approximately 6,000 cities, nearly 1,600 companies with a...
Increased ambition and implementation are essential.
Looking at policies instead of promises shows that global climate targets may be missed by a large margin.
By January 2022, 156 countries had submitted new or updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. This study analyses greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and macroeconomic impacts of NDCs. The total impact unconditional conditional NDCs these on global emission levels by 2030 is an additional reduction about 3.8 3.9 GtCO2eq, respectively, compared to previously as October 2020. However, this must be three times greater consistent with keeping temperature increase...
Under the Paris Agreement, countries committed to a variety of climate actions, including post-2020 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets. This study compares projected GHG in G20 economies under current policies those targets outlined nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It is based on an assessment official governmental estimates and independent national global studies. The concludes that six members (China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia Turkey) are meet their...
The rising importance of cities, states and regions, firms, investors, other subnational non-state actors in global national responses to climate change raises a critical question: what extent does this action deliver results? This article introduces conceptual framework that researchers practitioners can use as template assess the progress, implementation, impact by sub- actors. is used review existing studies track achievement such between 2014 mid-2019. While have made important advances...
Climate policy needs to account for political and social acceptance. Current national climate plans proposed under the Paris Agreement lead higher emissions until 2030 than cost-effective pathways towards Agreements' long-term temperature goals would imply. Therefore, current require highly disruptive changes, prohibitive transition speeds, large deployment of risky mitigation measures achieving agreement's after 2030. Since prospects introducing instrument, a global comprehensive carbon...
The number and coverage of climate change mitigation policies have increased in the past twenty years, but important policy adoption gaps remain. To analyse sectoral G20 over time (2000–2019), we compiled a dataset mitigation-relevant identified 50 key options that constitute comprehensive package. Approximately half these are not widely adopted. Adoption is particularly low for aim to: phase out coal oil mandate energy reductions electricity heat supply; reduce industrial process emissions...
Abstract Globally, more than 100 countries have adopted net‐zero targets. Most studies agree on how this increases the chance of keeping end‐of‐century global warming below 2°C. However, they typically make assumptions about targets that do not capture uncertainties related to gas coverage, sector sinks, and removals. This study aims analyze impact many uncertainty factors projected greenhouse (GHG) emissions by 2050 for major emitting following their pathways, aggregate GHG emissions....
This article identifies and quantifies the 10 most important benchmarks for climate action to be taken by 2020–2025 keep window open a 1.5°C-consistent GHG emission pathway. We conducted comprehensive review of existing emissions scenarios, scanned all sectors respective necessary transitions, distilled short-term in line with long-term perspective required global low-carbon transition. Owing limited carbon budget, combined inertia systems, energy economic models find only pathways stay on...
One of the most fundamental questions surrounding new Paris Agreement is whether countries' proposals to reduce GHG emissions after 2020 are equally ambitious, considering differences in circumstances between countries. We review a variety approaches assess ambition emission reduction by The applied illustratively mitigation part post-2020 climate (nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) China, EU, and US. analysis reveals several clear trends, even though results differ per individual...
This study compares greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections in 2030 under current policies and those mitigation targets for nine key non-G20 countries, that collectively account about 5 % of global total today. These include the four largest fossil CO2 emitting Parties to UN climate convention pre- Paris Agreement (Iran, Kazakhstan, Thailand Ukraine) one land-use GHG emitters world (Democratic Republic Congo). Other countries assessed major economies their respective regions (Chile,...
