Uncertainty In Climate Change Policy Analysis
CHANGE The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change is an organization for research, independent policy analysis, and public education in global environmental change. It seeks to provide leadership in understanding scientific, economic, and ecological aspects of this difficult issue, and combining them into policy assessments that serve the needs of ongoing national and inte...
متن کاملAir Pollution and Climate Change
Reducing black carbon emissions benefits both climate and health 4 Research concludes that reducing black carbon emissions would prevent millions of premature deaths as well as helping meet climate change mitigation targets. Do climate policies need a ‘pollution safety margin’? 5 Climate change policies may need to make greater GHG reductions in order to accommodate the warming of reduced air p...
متن کاملReflections on the uptake of climate change policies by local governments: facing the challenges of mitigation and adaptation
Background: There is a growing body of literature that examines the role of local governments in addressing climate change vis-à-vis mitigation and adaptation. Although it appears that climate change mitigation strategies in particular those addressing energy issues are being adopted by a large majority of local governments, this cannot be said of climate change adaptation. This paper explores ...
متن کاملTipping the Climate Dominoes
Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases activate a number of feedback processes in the climate system. Scientists warn that some feedbacks can lead to abrupt and irreversible changes in climate dynamics, called tipping points. The threat of tipping points plays a major role in demands for aggressive emission reductions and for limiting warming to 2◦C, as agreed upon in the Copenhagen Accord...
متن کاملIs atmospheric carbon dioxide removal a game changer for climate change mitigation?
The ability to directly remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere allows the decoupling of emissions and emissions control in space and time. We ask the question whether this unique feature of carbon dioxide removal technologies fundamentally alters the dynamics of climate mitigation pathways. The analysis is performed in the coupled energyeconomy-climate model ReMIND using the bioenergy with C...
