Prospects are growing that any agreement reached at the upcoming climate summit in Paris will include a long-term energy-related goal, but there is still little clarity on how the goal will be reached, international delegates meeting in Bonn said Sept. 1. Negotiators from nearly 200 countries ...
The Paris Agreement sets a clear target for net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the midst century. This implies that the transport sector has to reach zero GHG emissions mainly through direct and indirect electrification in the form of synthetic fuels, such as hydrogen and Fischer㏕rop...
The researcher’s next goal is to explore the shifts in skill levels, education requirements, and wages that may result from trying to meet the global climate target of the Paris Agreement. They also anticipate that, since this is accessible to all these different groups...
In the Paris COP21 meeting, nearly 200 countries ratified the Paris Agreement stating “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to below 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels”. The imp...
The Paris Agreement is an important agreement signed by countries all around the globe in 2016 — here's what it entails.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday hailed the re-entry of the United States into the Paris Agreement on climate change and called for global action to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Today is a day of hope, as the United States offic
The panel had previously been working on a threshold of 2℃, but that changed late in 2015 when the United Nations adopted what is known as the Paris Agreement. The extra half-degree equates to 10cm less in sea-level rises by the end of the century. It equates to us only losing 70...
The Paris Agreement confirmed the global aim to achieve a long-term climate goal, in which the global increase in mean temperature is kept below 2°C compared to the preindustrial level. We investigated the implications of the near-term emissions targets (for around the year 2030) in the con...
Our study shows that the gap between a continuation of current emission trends and a Paris-aligned 1.5 °C target can be reduced by about 90% by 2100. This provides a pathway to bring the Paris Agreement climate goals within reach.
We have seen momentum by nations. We saw the return of the United States to the Paris Agreement, progress on the European Green Deal, and the submission of many new or updated NDCs. We held climate dialogues, Subsidiary Body and committee meetings and had many positive discussions with nations...
