A Vision for the Ecosystem of Global Climate Action

This report, coordinated by the Future of Climate Cooperation project, reflects a common vision for the ‘ecosystem’ of global climate action, through the lens of what it will take to transform every sector of the global economy in a timeframe that meets the highest...

A global inventory of photovoltaic solar energy generating units

Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy generating capacity has grown by 41 per cent per year since 2009. Energy system projections that mitigate climate change and aid universal energy access show a nearly ten-fold increase in PV solar energy generating capacity by 2040....

Guidelines for Successful, Sustainable Nature-Based Solutions

The idea that biodiversity conservation, CO2 mitigation, and climate change adaptation can be aligned is at the core of nature-based solutions. With COP26 approaching, this digest outlines four nature-based guidelines that policymakers should consider when addressing...

Quantifying non-CO2 contributions to remaining carbon budgets

The IPCC Special Report on 1.5 °C concluded that anthropogenic global warming is determined by cumulative anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the non-CO2 radiative forcing level in the decades prior to peak warming. We quantify this using CO2-forcing-equivalent (CO2-fe)...
