Achieving the Paris Agreement Long-term temperature goal (PA LTTG) requires closing the 2030 ambition and action gap between emissions levels consistent with the Paris Agreement and emissions levels projected with current targets and policies. G20 countries have a crucial role to play in...

A broad range of mitigation options have been identified and assessed in the literature that enable countries to close the existing gap between 2030 emission projections resulting from the aggregate efforts of countries to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement...

The report examines the role offset approaches can play in the post-2020 climate regime. For this purpose, the report first develops a conceptual approach and a normative vision of what should be viewed as successful offset use. It then proposes tools to operationalize this vision. Lastly it...

The adoption of the Paris Agreement with the long-term temperature limit has important repercussions for the distribution of effort between its signatories. The application of the equity and least-cost approaches to the distribution effort leadsto different outcomes. The disparity of the results...

Ziel dieses Forschungsvorhabens ist die Untersuchung von sektoralen Ansätzen in einem internationalen Regime der Klimapolitik, mit Fokus darauf eine Brücke zwischen existierenden und zukünftigen Mechanismen und Instrumenten zu schlagen. Hierfür analysieren wir zunächst die Diskussionen und...

Dieser Bericht untersucht die Effekte einer weltweit gesteigerten Förderung von Schiefergas-Reserven und die Auswirkungen einer erhöhten Verfügbarkeit von Schiefergas auf die Treibhausgasreduktionsziele und -kosten. Zu diesem Zweck werden ein Szenario mit globaler Schiefergasförderung und...
