Net zero targets in science and policy by Joeri Rogelj

“…Since the adoption of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the publication of the 2018 Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, net zero targets have become a central feature in climate policy. …”

Quelles transitions pour l’atténuation du changement climatique ? Transformations globales, enjeux sociétaux, et leçons pour la décision by Waisman, Henri

“…The IPCC Special report on “Global Warming of 1.5 °C” identifies the greenhouse gas emissions trajectories compatible with the global mitigation goal of the Paris Agreement, presents the mitigation actions required to follow these trajectories and analyses the synergies and trade-offs with sustainable development objectives. …”

Lost in transformation: The Paris Agreement, the IPCC and the quest for national transformative change by Rolf Lidskog, Göran Sundqvist

“…The IPCC stated in its special report on global warming of 1. 5°C (SR15) that meeting the temperature target of the Paris Agreement requires rapid and far-reaching changes across all aspects of society. …”

Guidance on emissions metrics for nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement by Steve Denison, Piers M Forster, Christopher J Smith

“…These are taken from the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C (SR15). The CO _2 emission levels are adjusted so that the pathways all have the same total CO _2 equivalent emissions for a given emissions metric but have different proportions of short-lived and long-lived pollutants. …”

Global temperature goals should determine the time horizons for greenhouse gas emission metrics by Sam Abernethy, Robert B Jackson

“…We analyze the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C Scenario Database to find that time horizons aligning with the 1.5 °C and 2 °C global warming goals of the Paris Agreement are 24 [90% prediction interval: 7, 41] and 58 [90% PI: 41, 74] years, respectively. …”

Boundary Work and Interpretations in the IPCC Review Process of the Role of Bioenergy With Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) in Limiting Global Warming to 1.5°C by Anders Hansson, Jonas Anshelm, Mathias Fridahl, Simon Haikola

“…By analyzing all BECCS-related expert review comments and author responses on the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, the paper shows that boundary work influences the representation of BECCS by authors referring to: (1) a limited scope or capacity; (2) a restrictive mandate; (3) what constitutes legitimate science, and; (4) relativizing uncertainties. …”

Carbon Dioxide Removal Policy in the Making: Assessing Developments in 9 OECD Cases by Felix Schenuit, Felix Schenuit, Rebecca Colvin, Mathias Fridahl, Barry McMullin, Andy Reisinger, Daniel L. Sanchez, Stephen M. Smith, Asbjørn Torvanger, Anita Wreford, Oliver Geden

“…Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, spurred by the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, net zero emission targets have emerged as a new organizing principle of climate policy. …”

Implications of non-linearities between cumulative CO2 emissions and CO2-induced warming for assessing the remaining carbon budget by Z R J Nicholls, R Gieseke, J Lewis, A Nauels, M Meinshausen

“…To determine the remaining carbon budget, a new framework was introduced in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 °C (SR1.5). We refer to this as a ‘segmented’ framework because it considers the various components of the carbon budget derivation independently from one another. …”
