Who cuts emissions fastest, and who supports others do so, are central questions in global climate action. New IIASA-led research shows that building fairness into climate models from the start can in...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is in the process of preparing its Seventh Assessment report (AR7). The IPCC Working Groups are seeking highly motivated early-career researchers f...

European Union countries have shelved plans to approve a new climate change target next week, after pushback from governments including France and Germany over plans to quickly land a deal, three EU diplomats told Reuters on Friday.

Abstract. The proportionality between global mean temperature and cumulative emissions of CO2 predicted in Earth system models (ESMs) is the foundation of carbon budgeting frameworks. Deviations from ...

A risk-based, spatially explicit analysis of carbon storage in sedimentary basins establishes a prudent planetary limit of around 1,460 Gt of geological carbon storage, which requires making explicit ...

Abstract. The current crop of models assessed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to produce their assessment reports lack endogenous process-based representations of climate-drive...

A new study has found that children born today are likely to experience significantly more exposure to extreme climate events over their lifetime than previous generations - unless global greenhouse g...

The climate crisis is not a distant threat; it is a pressing reality that children are facing today. Despite having contributed the least to the climate crisis, the inherent intergenerational injustic...

Mid-high latitude lakes exhibit amplified heat release to the atmosphere due to an ice-loss feedback, revealing distinct responses to global warming between lakes in colder and warmer regions.

In an exclusive extract from Friederike Otto’s new book, she says climate disasters result from inequality as well as fossil fuel

Our findings show that some regions, such as western Europe and North America, will accrue net-zero carbon debt as soon as 2030.

Current emissions trends will likely deplete a 1.5 °C consistent carbon budget around the year 2030, resulting in at least a temporary exceedance, ...

What a first year with temperature 1.5 °C above the pre-industrial baseline implies for long-term temperature goals is unclear. Here the authors show that such a first year above the baseline is highl...

Equity is central to international climate policy, but quantifications often only look at carbon dioxide. This study allocates a global warming budget for all greenhouse gases and shows most developed...

Entry points for assessing ‘fair shares’ in national mitigation contributions, Pelz, Setu, Ganti, Gaurav, Pachauri, Shonali, Rogelj, Joeri, Riahi, Keywan

General description This data file is a compilation of national greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) inventories, sourced from the Common Reporting Tables (CRTs) that countries submit to the UNFCCC. The CRT...

Climate change is breaking the insurance market, and state governments can't afford to pick up the pieces

Abstract. Simple climate models (also known as emulators) have re-emerged as critical tools for the analysis of climate policy. Emulators are efficient and highly parameterised, where the parameters a...
