This paper assesses the impact of a global phase-out of nuclear energy on the costs of meeting international climate policy targets for 2020. The analyses are based on simulations with a global energy systems model. The phase-out of nuclear power increases greenhouse gas emissions by 2%...

This paper explores the contribution that no-lose target schemes for non-Annex I (NAI) countries can make to achieving the 2 °C target. The analyses rely on marginal abatement cost curves obtained from a global partial equilibrium model for the year 2020 and specifically account for 18 NAI...
