The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

This paper reviews the classification schemes used for bottom-up energy system modelling
and proposes a novel one as re-elaboration of the previous schemes. Moreover, this paper …

Mitigation solutions are often evaluated in terms of costs and greenhouse gas reduction
potentials, missing out on the consideration of direct effects on human well-being. Here, we …

Assessment of the social science literature and regional case studies reveals how social
norms, culture, and individual choices, interact with infrastructure and other structural …

Chapter 3 takes a long-term perspective on climate change mitigation pathways. Its focus is
on the implications of long-term targets for the required short-and medium-term system …

Achieving ambitious reductions in greenhouse gases (GHG) is particularly challenging for
transportation due to the technical limitations of replacing oil-based fuels. We apply the …

Climate science provides strong evidence of the necessity of limiting global warming to 1.5
C, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. The IPCC 1.5 C special report (SR1. 5) presents …

Long-term mitigation scenarios developed by integrated assessment models underpin major
aspects of recent IPCC reports and have been critical to identify the system transformations …

Most energy scenario studies typically focus on technological options and fuel substitution
for decarbonising future energy systems. Lifestyle changes are rarely considered, although …

Lifestyle is an integral and inevitable feature of transformation pathways consistent with the
Paris Climate Agreement and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Studies …
