Greenhouse gas emission scenarios in nine key non-G20 countries: an assessment of progress toward 2030 climate targets

This study compares greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections in 2030 under current policies and those under 2030 mitigation targets for nine key non-G20 countries, that collectively account for…

Integrated assessment model diagnostics: key indicators and model evolution

Integrated assessment models (IAMs) form a prime tool in informing about climate mitigation strategies. Diagnostic indicators that allow comparison across these models can help describe and explain…

Decarbonisation options for the Dutch bottle-grade PET industry

This report describes the current status of the bottle-grade PET production by Indorama in the Netherlands, and discusses potential decarbonisation options. The study is part of the MIDDEN project…

On the optimality of 2°C targets and a decomposition of uncertainty

The overall target of climate policy and the timing of emission reductions are key policy issues. The high degree of uncertainty in key aspects, such as climate damage, mitigation costs and socio…

Global Methane Assessment

This United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) assessment highlights the critical role that cutting global methane emissions, including from the fossil fuel industry, plays in slowing the rate of…

The role of regulatory, market and governance risk for electricity access investment in sub-Saharan Africa

Achieving universal electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa – a milestone of SDG 7 – requires about $30bn annually until 2030 on the top of baseline investment. The private sector plays a key role in…

Regional variation in the effectiveness of methane-based and land-based climate mitigation options

Scenarios avoiding global warming greater than 1.5 or 2 ∘ C, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement, may require the combined mitigation of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions alongside enhancing…
