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 - one of the most relevant events for the global climate change community, 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 the RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and IIASA developed a systematic framework that allows identifying the type, timing, and location of feasibility concerns raised by climate mitigation scenarios.
New Systematic Framework Could Help Realize Emission Reduction Targets

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.
