We provide a rejoinder to a review (Rosen, 2015) of our original article “Making or breaking climate targets — the AMPERE study on staged accession scenarios for climate policy”.

Here we assess how emissions from short-lived non-CO₂ species like methane, hydrofluorocarbons, black-carbon, and sulphates influence CO₂ budgets.

Crossing the threshold of 50 per cent of the pledges covered gives the GCF Board the authority to start allocating funding to concrete project and programme proposals. This is a major milestone in the evolution of the Fund.

The Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) has reviewed the adequacy of the agreed Long Term Goal of holding warming below 2°C. It has now released a technical summary - showing 2°C limit is too warm for many vulnerable systems and regions, and a 1.5°C limit would be significantly safer.

This article contains an analysis of integrated energy–economy–environment scenarios that keep warming to below 1.5 °C by 2100.
