Briefings
As part of the discussions of the shared vision of long‐term action under the AWG‐LCA a number of Parties have proposed a global goal reflecting a temperature level.
Peer-reviewed Papers
National targets ahead of the upcoming December climate summit in Copenhagen give virtually no chance of constraining warming to 2 °C and no chance of protecting coral reefs.
Reports
This report analyses the potential for changing track after 2020, from an insufficient global reductionby 2020, to two emission pathways that imply a reasonable chance to stay below 2°C and 1.5°C respectively.
Peer-reviewed Papers
We investigate the qualitative, functional relationship between the likelihood of achieving a normative target and the costs of climate-change mitigation. In contrast to the example of exponentially rising costs for lowering concentration levels, we show that the mitigation costs rise proportionally to the likelihood of meeting a temperature target, across a range of concentration levels.
