Meta-Modeling to Assess the Possible Future of Paris Agreement

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie, Alain Bernard

In the meta-modeling approach, one builds a numerically tractable dynamic optimization or game model in which the parameters are identified through statistical emulation of a detailed large scale numerical simulation model. In this paper, we show how this ...

From COP21 pledges to a fair 2°C pathway

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Alain Haurie

At COP21, about 160 countries proposed the so-called INDCs that define GHG abatement objectives by 2030. While encouraging, these commitments are not ambitious enough to achieve the 2°C threshold by 2100, and further negotiations are needed for sharing the ...

Experimental evidence reveals impact of drought periods on dissolved organic matter quality and ecosystem metabolism in subalpine streams

Tom Ian Battin

Subalpine streams are predicted to experience lower summer discharge following climate change and water extractions. In this study, we aimed to understand how drought periods impact dissolved organic matter (DOM) processing and ecosystem metabolism of suba ...

Drivers of the environmental impact of consumption: evaluating the role of urbanization in reducing the Swiss carbon footprint

Melissa Pang

Greenhouse gas emission inventories form the basis of evidence-based climate change planning across the local, regional, national and international levels. However, the method employed in producing these inventories can greatly influence the final accounts ...

Defining deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland: an economic evaluation

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau

This paper aims at simulating deep decarbonization pathways for Switzerland. The analysis relies on macro-economic simulations of GEMINI-E3, a computable general equilibrium model used to assess the energy and economic impacts of a Swiss low carbon society ...

Furthering embodied carbon assessment in practice: Results of an industry-academia collaborative research project

Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf

In order to meet the mid-century carbon reduction targets and to mitigate climate change and global warming it is imperative that embodied greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions in the built environment receive immediate attention from policy, industry and acad ...

Integrated design strategies for renovation projects with Building-Integrated Photovoltaics towards Low-Carbon Buildings: Two comparative case studies in Neuchâtel (Switzerland)

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno

As tomorrow’s cities are already largely built, and as many of their buildings have a low energy performance level, urban renewal processes are essential for the sustainable development of European cities. In this context, Building-Integrated Photovoltaic ...

Impacts of Thermally Induced Stresses on Fracture Stability During Geological Storage of CO2

Lyesse Laloui, Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Geomechanical stability issues may arise due to induced thermal stresses because CO2 will generally reach the storage formation at a temperature lower than that of the reservoir. Cold injection will form a cold region around the injection well, which will ...

Establishing building environmental targets to implement a low carbon objective at the district level: methodology and case study

Thomas Bernard Paul Jusselme

To face climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets are specified into national policies. In France, the objective is to divide by 4 (Factor 4) the GHG emissions by 2050 comparing to 1990. The built environment, as a main contributor, is targeted ...
