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...
A transition to healthy diets such as the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet could considerably reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, specific contributions of dietary shifts for feasibility 1.5°C pathways remain unclear. Here, we use open-source integrated assessment modeling (IAM) framework REMIND-MAgPIE compare with and without shifts. We find that a flexitarian diet increases Paris Agreement climate goals in different ways: The reduction GHG emissions related shifts, especially...
The objective of the Paris Agreement is to obtain commitments from signing parties reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels consistent with a global warming well below 2 °C above pre-industrial and pursue further efforts limit it 1.5 °C. To achieve such ambitious goals, countries should collectively aim reach peak in GHG as soon possible steadily decrease their after that, ideally accomplish climate neutral world by middle this century. However, became clear that being...
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies are critical for climate stabilisation under the Paris Agreement. All current IPCC scenarios that achieve Agreement’s objectives rely on CDR, and implementing CDR explicit representations into Earth System Models will allow production of more realistic future scenario projections CMIP7 beyond. Here we present results from LANDMARC project which aims to explore efficiency carbon as well risks associated with land-based mitigation technologies...
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) combine economy, energy, and sometimes land-use modeling approaches are commonly used to evaluate climate policies under least-cost scenarios. The marginal abatement cost (MAC) curve approach has been in policy analyses show the carbon price level for a given level, which also applied as way parameterize complex behavior of IAMs. Here, we propose new methodological framework i) emulate IAM’s emission reductions response pathways through MAC...
Assessing Earth system feedbacks arising from carbon dioxide removal (CDR) requires developing and simulating pairs of scenarios - a mitigation scenario with deployment CDR corresponding no-CDR baseline. Both respect specific long-term constraint on emission budget (i.e. reductions are pursued at the same level ambition), but latter describes world where no is deployed, such that net emissions larger given temperature threshold missed. While over past years rich literature deep has been...
Abstract Achieving the Paris Agreement’s CO 2 emission reduction goals heavily relies on enhancing carbon storage and sequestration in forests globally. Yet, increasing vulnerability of stored to both climate change human intervention is often neglected current mitigation strategies. Our study explores modelled interactions between key sectors, indicating that accelerated decarbonization could meet objectives despite forest losses due disturbances. However, delaying action loss by just five...

<title>Abstract</title> Net-zero commitments have become the central focal point for countries to communicate long-term climate targets. However, this it is not clear what extent conventional emissions reductions and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will contribute net-zero. An integrated market removals with a uniform price delivers economically efficient contribution of CDR net-zero, yet might fully internalise sustainability risks hence could lead its overuse. In study, we explore...
We investigate synchronization patterns and chimera-like states in the modular multilayer topology of connectome Caenorhabditis elegans. In special case a designed network with two layers, one electrical intra-community links chemical inter-community links, are known to exist. Aiming at more biological approach based on actual connectivity data, we consider consisting synaptic (electrical chemical) extrasynaptic (wireless) layers. Analyzing structure properties this layered using...
Abstract We assess the impact of different land-use emission policies within a broader climate policy framework on bioenergy production and associated carbon emissions. use global Integrated Assessment Model REMIND-MAgPIE integrating energy sectors derive alternative change mitigation scenarios over 21st century. If CO2 emissions are regulated consistently across sectors, biofuels limited to 12 kgCO2/GJ. Without regulations applied, bioenergy-induced increase substantially factor per unit...
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) can support mitigation efforts and help to limit the footprint of hardest-to-abate sectors. Forests are one most cost-effective solutions provide this CDR service at scale. Therefore, reforestation has become a major pillar supporting climate targets in scenarios action plans such as Nationally Determined Contributions. In addition, forests an unassisted aid mitigation, removing quarter annual emissions part terrestrial carbon cycle. As result, today&#8217;s...
