  Addressing path dependence in emissions-economy models for emerging economies: Implications for identifying low-carbon development pathways

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Aman Srivastava

  Emissions-economy models are widely used for informing low-carbon development policies and targets. These models typically use historical data sets to quantify interrelationships among key variables, which are then used to translate inputs into forward-looking projections. While such models have been extensively applied in developed countries, they are also being increasingly deployed in developing countries. These […]

  Climate ambition, background scenario or the model? Attribution of the variance of energy-related indicators in global scenarios

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Alaa Al Khourdajie

  We attribute variations in key energy sector indicators across global climate mitigation scenarios to climate ambition, assumptions in background socioeconomic scenarios, differences between models and an unattributed portion that depends on the interaction between these. The scenarios assessed have been generated by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) as part of a model intercomparison project exploring the […]

  Reducing cost of capital to finance the energy transition in developing countries: a multi-model analysis

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Matteo Calcaterra

  Climate stabilisation requires mobilising significant investments in low- and zero-carbon technologies, especially in emerging and developing economies. However, access to stable and affordable finance varies dramatically across countries. Models used to evaluate the energy transition do not differentiate regional financing costs and therefore cannot study risk-sharing mechanisms for renewable electricity generation. Here, we first incorporate […]

  Climate risk assessment and project planning for agri-food system development: An interactive tool for identifying promising adaptation options

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Land use: sectoral interventions

  H 0112

  Presenter:

  Laura Cramer

  Adaptation to climate change in the agriculture sector is a complex challenge due to the many different negative effects on food production caused by climate variability and change. Using an impact chain approach can help agricultural development program planners understand the network of interlinked challenges facing farmers, but developing these chains and identifying appropriate adaptation […]

  Impact assessment of food-system policies

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Land use: sectoral interventions

  H 0112

  Presenter:

  Marco Springmann

  Current food systems are neither healthy, nor sustainable. Without changes towards healthier and more sustainable food systems, it is unlikely that dangerous levels of climate change can be avoided. In my presentation, I provide an overview of food-system policies that can contribute to transforming food systems. This includes analyses of the health and environmental implications […]

  Climate benefits of bio-based urban construction

  June 11, 2024 / 09:30 – 11:00 Mitigation policy: modelling

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Anne Holsten

  The building sector is responsible for almost 40% of global energy-related CO2 emissions (UNEP 2023). If the built environment was constructed with bio-based materials, it could store significant amounts of carbon in the long term. The transition towards a net-zero built environment could be advanced if the materials are sourced from regional forests. We therefore […]

  Breaking Barriers with Patterns: A Participatory Approach for Integrating Justice into Global Mitigation Scenarios

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Addressing justice in global climate mitigation scenarios

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Karl Scheifinger

  Integrated assessment models (IAMs) commonly used by policymakers in climate decision-making have been criticized for insufficiently incorporating certain justice considerations, and for being relatively closed to stakeholder inputs and feedback. Based on a comprehensive justice framework, this work responds to both criticisms and proposes a flexible and pragmatic approach to operationalize distributive justice: justice patterns. […]

  Closing decent living gaps in sustainable development pathways with strong equity improvements

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Addressing justice in global climate mitigation scenarios

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Jarmo S. Kikstra

  Environmental action and international development are two closely linked agendas that dominate international policy discussions. It is therefore important to understand how inequalities and basic needs that are central to development are affected or resolved by environmental policies. Here, we will showcase new development on integrating the material prerequisites for human well-being (using the Decent […]

  Fairness and uncertainty in determining national emission reduction targets

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Addressing justice in global climate mitigation scenarios

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Chantal Würschinger

  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 […]

  Delayed carbon debt drawdown fails younger generations

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Addressing justice in global climate mitigation scenarios

  H 0110

  Presenter:

  Karl Scheifinger

  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 […]

  Mapping and synthesizing evidence on global adaptation progress: Achievements of GAMI and lessons for the future

  June 11, 2024 / 11:30 – 13:00 Mapping and synthesizing evidence on global adaptation progress. Achievements of GAMI and lessons for the future

  H 0111

  Presenter:

  Matthias Garschagen

  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 […]
