Negative carbon emissions are proved necessary to limit global temperature increase below 1.5C compared to pre-industrial levels. (a) Reducing carbon sources and (b) increasing negative emissions are two effective ways to achieve this goal. (a) involves th ...
The Swiss Negative Emissions Fund, entirely paid for by polluters, can significantly accelerate Swiss decarbonization and efficiently remove limited remaining emissions ...
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impacts, scientists and policymakers alike have been advocating for green recovery packages focusing on clean energy technologies, to align economic recovery with climate change mitigation. In t ...
The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU’s path, from “Fit for 55” in 2030 to an intermed ...
In this paper, we propose setting up a fund to finance the removal of all Swiss territorial GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions from 2030. The fund will accelerate decarbonization and help reach annual net zero emissions around 2040, and then progressively remo ...
This IRGC policy brief focuses on the risks associated with the transition to a low-carbon society and economy. It is based on a multi-stakeholder expert workshop held in September 2020. It incorporates views and insights from academia, industry, non-gover ...
The Iron and Steel Industry is one of the most carbon-intensive in the European Union, and to meet the climate agreement objectives for 2050, it must dramatically reduce its environmental footprint. The present study analyzes the potential for CO2 emission ...
The Paris agreement on climate change called for carbon neutrality as of 2050. The built environment is one of the major contributors to the greenhouse effect, representing 39% of global emissions. As a result, this sector is targeted by green standards an ...
Decision makers recognize the importance of lifestyle changes in reaching low emission targets but how the abatement potential of changes in diets, mobility or housing compare to ambitious technical measures in the transition toward decarbonisation, is not ...
As the EU energy system transitions to low carbon, the technology choices should consider a broader set of criteria. The use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) prevents burden shift across life cycle stages or impact categories, while the use of Energy System ...
