New Systematic Framework Could Help Realize Emission Reduction Targets
Written by AZoCleantechJun 3 2021
Organizations, such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), often review the feasibility of climate scenarios but it is not known what drives these feasibility concerns and whether they can actually be accomplished in practice.

A recent systematic framework could allow researchers to understand the kinds of aspects that need to be improved in the next generation of situations and look for ways to achieve ambitious emission reductions by reinforcing enabling conditions.
Although the IPCC is in the middle of the drafting cycle of the Sixth Assessment Report, the publication of which will begin in the H2 of 2021, there is an ongoing discussion on how to evaluate the feasibility of ambitious climate mitigation situations created through integrated assessment models and to what level they are truly possible in the rea

What drives the feasibility of climate scenarios commonly reviewed by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)? And can they actually be achieved in practice? A new systematic framework can help understand what to improve in the next generation of scenarios and explore how to make ambitious emission reductions possible by strengthening enabling conditions.
While the IPCC is in the midst of the drafting cycle of the Sixth Assessment Report, whose publication will start in the second half of 2021, there is an ongoing debate on how to assess the feasibility of ambitious climate mitigation scenarios developed through integrated assessment models and to what extent they are actually achievable in the real world. In their new study published in Environmental Research Letters, researchers from IIASA and the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) developed a systematic framework that allows identifying the type, timing,

A new study published in the journal
Science, highlights the opportunity to complement current climate mitigation scenarios with scenarios that capture the interdependence among investors perception of future climate risk, the credibility of climate policies, and the allocation of investments across low- and high-carbon assets in the economy.
Climate mitigation scenarios are key to understanding the transition to a low-carbon economy and inform climate policies. These scenarios are also important for financial investors to assess the risk of missing out on the transition or making the transition happen too late and in a disorderly fashion. In this respect, the scenarios developed by the platform of financial authorities known as the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) - a platform of over 80 financial authorities around the globe who take an active interest in advancing the transition toward a sustainable world economy - have been a major step to provide investors wi

IIASA
The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, has appointed a new group of ten renowned experts including IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program Director, Keywan Riahi, to support the UN Technology Facilitation Mechanism to bring science into the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Technology Facilitation Mechanism was created to support the implementation of the SDGs by facilitating partnerships, collaboration, and sharing of best practices on using science and technology for sustainable development. The mechanism comprises a United Nations Inter-agency Task Team on science, technology, and innovation, currently consisting of 45 entities; an annual multi-stakeholder forum on Science, Technology, and Innovation for the SDGs; and an online platform – the 2030 Connect, which serves as a gateway for information on existing initiatives, mechanisms, and programs.
