Our understanding today already shows the need for an international response to address loss and damage and the context of this report is that UNFCCC has decided to explore a range of approaches including an international mechanism to address loss and damage.

Sea-level rise is a critical and uncertain climate change risk, involving timescales of centuries.

The IEA recently developed three updated scenarios for the 2012 edition of Energy Technology Perspectives. Here we assess their probabilities of limiting warming to the long term climate goals mention in the Cancun agreement.

This paper introduces a new approach to probabilistic projections of regional climate change.

This study compares emission pathways aimed at limiting temperature increase to 2°C under varying constraints. The 2020 emission level represents a trade-off between short-term emission reductions and long-term dependence on rapid reductions through specific technologies (like negative emission reductions). Higher 2020 emissions lead to higher overall costs.
