Without rapid and sustained greenhouse gas emissions reductions, the effects that the climate has on global society will be increasingly felt and could...
Evidence from ice core and sediment records shows that in the past, Earth’s climate has reached critical thresholds, triggering abrupt and rapid change...
This report focuses on the timescales of climate reversibility under a range of Bio-Energy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) scenarios. The experiments...
Executive summary
Very few studies have yet assessed the feasibility of adaptation to climate change on a global scale, and there are limited assessments of...
The implications of global mitigation to achieve different long-term temperature goals (LTTGs) can be investigated in integrated assessment models (IAMs)...
The contribution of non-CO2 greenhouse gas mitigation to achieving long-term temperature goals (C2b)
In the latest (fifth) assessment from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) non-CO2 emissions accounted for 28% of total GHG emissions in 2010...
In many low carbon scenario projections, energy efficiency improvements and other demand-side mitigation actions contribute a significant share of energy and...
