It is technically feasible for the EU to meet the 20% unilateral and 30% multilateral greenhouse gas emission reduction targets as adopted in 2007. The emission reductions and costs for the individual countries show a wide range, and are more dependent on the burden-sharing...
After the completion of IPCC's Third Assessment Report, Working Group III on Mitigation embarked upon an outreach programme to disseminate the IPCC assessments in developing countries and countries with economies in transition, in particular the Working Group III assessments...
CO2 emissions and total global greenhouse gas emissions are reported for 2016. Total global greenhouse gas emissions continued to increase by about 0.5% in 2016, reaching 49.3 gigatonnes in CO2 equivalent.
The economic assessment of priorities for a European environmental policy plan focuses on twelve identified Prominent European Environmental Problems such as climate change, chemical risks and biodiversity.

One of the pathways to follow in order to achieve the goals for sustainable development is an increased reliance on renewable energy, among others solar, wind and biomass energy that are all three suitable for the production of electricity.
This report documents the submission of the Dutch annual greenhouse gas emission inventory for 2019, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the European Union's Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Mechanism....
Besides primary, intended effects such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions or controlling global warming, climate policies may have secondary, side-effects - called 'spillovers' - such as the induced innovation and diffusion of new technologies, both nationally and...
In this study ways are explored to increase the policy coherence between the climate regime and a selected number of climate relevant policy areas, by adding a non-climate policy track to national and international climate strategies.
