Despite the well-recognized role of water in transmitting climate impacts to some of the growth drivers of the economy, the water sector has been largely ignored in climate change deliberations. The impacts are projected to vary regionally, and are likely to include changes in average...

The EU has established an aggressive portfolio with explicit near-term targets for 2020 - to reduce GHG emissions by 20%, rising to 30% if the conditions are right, to increase the share of renewable energy to 20%, and to make a 20% improvement in energy efficiency - intended to be the first...

Integrated assessment models have been extensively used to examine long term energy and greenhouse emissions trajectories, but these models have rarely been examined with respect to their ability to capture historical dynamics. We evaluate the USA buildings component of the Global Change...

We explore the implications that alternative pathways for human population and economic development have for the role of Asia in reference no-climate-policy scenarios and scenarios in which climate forcing is limited. We consider three different pathways of socioeconomic development, which we...
