At current emission level, humanity would have used up their remaining carbon footprint budget from now to eternity within four years or less, when compared to the emissions compatible with keeping global warming within a limit of 1.5°C. Therefore, zero ne ...

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 ...
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 ...
The present report is a follow-up and update of a previous report of December 2013 to UNEP, “Modeling the impacts of a minimum global carbon price“. The topic is the same, i.e. the “study on a global minimum carbon price that will analyze its potential to ...
The UNFCCC has stated that energy policies and measures to address climate change should be cost-effective to ensure global benefits at the lowest possible cost. To mitigate the bulk of carbon emission from the electricity sector, a large market penetratio ...
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 ...
Network planning models, which forecast the profitability of airline schedules, support many critical decisions, including equipment purchase decisions. Network planning models include an itinerary choice model that is used to allocate air total demand in ...
Overview Climate policy is one of the corner stones of European Union (EU) policy. In 2011, the European Commission has defined a roadmap to low carbon economy in 2050 in which the Commission reconfirmed the EU objective of reducing European greenhouse gas ...
Air transportation in the US is increasingly faced with the problem of airport congestion: airlines tend to over-schedule to attract market share and revenue. Unfortunately, the airlines share a limited resource - airport capacity. The underlying question ...
