This paper reviews the many criticisms that Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs)—the
bedrock of mitigation analysis—have received in recent years. Critics have asserted that …

For aiming to keep global warming well-below 2° C and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5° C, as
set out in the Paris Agreement, a full-fledged assessment of negative emission technologies …

A diversity of integrated assessment models (IAMs) coexists due to the different approaches
developed to deal with the complex interactions, high uncertainties and knowledge gaps …

The transport sector is growing fast in terms of energy use and accompanying greenhouse
gas emissions. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are used widely to analyze energy …

The industry sector is a major energy consumer and GHG emitter. Effective climate change
mitigation strategies will require a significant reduction of industrial emissions. To better …

Scenarios from integrated assessment models can provide insights into how carbon budgets
relate to other policy-relevant indicators by including information on how fast and by how …

The goal of limiting global warming to well below 2° C as set out in the Paris Agreement
calls for a strategic assessment of societal pathways and policy strategies. Besides policy …

Developments in the transport sector are very important for future climate change. First,
global transport-related greenhouse (GHG) emissions are growing faster than any other end …

While it is acknowledged that asset stranding could jeopardize the political feasibility of
climate policies, the amount of stranded assets is rarely made explicit in most …

Success or failure of climate policies in limiting warming to beneath particular thresholds
depends on several physical, economic and social uncertainties. Whilst scenario analysis …
