Summary Work package B focuses on the future global and regional impacts of climate change on humans and ecosystems under different levels and rates of climate change; it will also examine the impacts avoided by the emissions pathways produced by AVOID Work Package A. It uses existing impacts models, and will develop indicators of impact …
Summary It is well know that different parts of the world are linked together through physical teleconnections, links in the climate system which mean that climate variations in one part of the world can affect many other regions. The almost global extent of the response to an El Nino in the equatorial Pacific Ocean is …
Summary Reducing global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to avoid dangerous levels of climate change will require the deployment of low-carbon technologies and measures across all world regions, and across all economic sectors within these regions. This area of the AVOID 2 research programme will use a range of models representing the supply and …
Summary A growing body of research, including that from the first AVOID programme, has shown that the probability of being able to limit future global warming to levels such as 1.5°C or 2°C above pre-industrial times is strongly dependent on the implementation of, so called, negative emissions technologies. Here, the basic idea is that greenhouse …

Summary About half of the carbon dioxide so far released into the atmosphere has been absorbed by the terrestrial biosphere and oceans. This carbon is then said to be have been stored in ‘sinks’. This work focuses on the scientific review and assessment of the state of knowledge on greenhouse gas emissions and sinks. When …
