Briefings
This briefing explains why initial and successive 5 year commitment periods for all governments are a necessary element of the new agreement to help ensure that the 1.5/2°C limit is met, and how a 10 year commitment period would in fact fail to provide the long-term stability and certainty that governments seek.
Reports
This report presents different approaches to the distribution of mitigation efforts and compares results to the contributions that some governments submitted to the UNFCCC ahead of the climate conference in Paris.
Peer-reviewed Papers
Here, we investigate an approach that involves a major-economy country taking the lead for decarbonisation.
Briefings
The Climate Action Tracker finds that, if climate plans were fully implemented, they would bring the projected warming to 2.7°C – an improvement of 0.4˚C since the last assessment of pledges at the Lima talks in December 2014.
Peer-reviewed Papers
This study aims to create insight in how Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) perform in describing the climate forcing by non-CO2 gases and aerosols.
