As climate change adaptation is unfolding across the world, a scientific evaluation of progress in adaptation is ever more important. Adaptation projects are increasingly reported and assessed in the scientific literature, covering an growing breadth of case studies from across different world regions and sectors such as agriculture, critical infrastructure or settlements. Learning from the […]

Current emissions trends may deplete a 1.5°C consistent carbon budget in approximately 6 years, resulting in a period of exceedance. To inform the equitable realignment of efforts that minimize exceedance magnitude and duration, we propose the use of ‘net-zero carbon debt’. Net-zero carbon debt is a measure that combines ‘fair’ shares of a remaining carbon […]

As 2030 approaches and current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are not sufficient to meet the Paris Agreement climate goals, setting more stringent national emission reduction targets in 2040 and 2050 become more and more relevant. The basis of these targets, however, can be manyfold. In this research, we present a comprehensive framework to quantify national […]
