While national emission trends are a useful tool for measuring government progress towards meeting the Paris Agreement 1.5˚C temperature limit at a global level, each government will have to address its own sectors, each with their own, different baseline. What should government sectoral benchmarks be? Will they meet the global carbon budget?

The Paris Agreement long-term temperature goal is to be achieved on the basis of equity. Accomplishing this goal will require carbon dioxide removal (CDR), yet existing plans for CDR deployment are insufficient to meet potential global needs, and equitable approaches for distributing CDR responsibilities between nations are lacking.This study applies two common burden-sharing principles to show how CDR responsibility could be shared between regions in 1.5°C and 2°C mitigation pathways.

To achieve the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goal, Australia needs to phase out coal-fired generation completely by 2030 and a fully renewable electricity supply achieved in the 2030s — with wind and solar PV playing a dominant role.

This report assesses the greenhouse gas emissions in Antigua and Barbuda's energy and transport sector, and undertakes a technical analysis of renewable energy needs under different pathways to reach the mitigation targets for possible inclusion in the updated Nationally Determined Contribution.

The Paris Agreement includes the concept of a global stocktake (GST), a process by which progress on climate action is assessed, providing a critical opportunity to review overall progress made on mitigation, adaptation and means of implementation and support. Due in part to strong advocacy by small island developing states (SIDS) and least developed countries (LDCs), additional thematic areas will be part of the process. However, there remain significant research gaps on L&D that need to be addressed to support a robust GST.
