Carbon Accounting by Public and Private Financial Institutions : Can We Be Sure Climate Finance Is Leading to Emissions Reductions?

Spittle, Emily; Dietrich Brauch, Martin - 2021

As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...

The National Climate Budget and the first Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement : to what degree are they aligned?

Monsod, Toby C. - 2022

This paper explores whether and how well the Philippines' Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and National Climate Budget (NCB), derived from the national climate change expenditure tagging system (CCET), are aligned. The CCET was operationalized in 2015 to "provide line and oversight...

Accelerating resilience and climate change adaptation: strengthening the Philippines' contribution to limit global warming and cope with its impacts

Monsod, Toby Melissa C.; Ahmed, Sara Jane; Hilario, Golda P. - 2021

In its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement, the Philippines committed to a GHG emissions reduction/avoidance of 75 percent for the period 2020 to 2030, referenced against a projected business-as-usual cumulative emission for the same period. However, the numbers...

Beyond 2020 : strategies and costs for transforming the European energy system

Knopf, Brigitte; Chen, Yen-heng Henry; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014

The Energy Modeling Forum 28 (EMF28) study systematically explores the energy system transition required to meet the European goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050. The 80% scenario is compared to a reference case that aims to achieve a 40% GHG reduction target. The...

Will future climate change increase global energy use?

Zhang, Hongliang; Mu, Jianhong E.; McCarl, Bruce A. - 2018

Currently fossil-fuel-based energy accounts for 82% of global energy use and is the source of two-thirds of anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions (GHG). Such emissions are a primary climate change driver ultimately altering temperature and in turn influences energy use. This paper presents a...

Decarbonization pathways in developing Asia : evidence from modeling scenarios

Pradhananga, Manisha; Raitzer, David A.; … - 2023

Unless developing Asia decarbonizes its development, global warming is unlikely to stay below the internationally agreed limit of 2°C above preindustrial levels. Integrated assessment modeling offers insights into how a low carbon transition can be achieved. The Sixth Assessment Report of the...
