Mitigating climate change to alleviate economic inequality under the Paris Agreement

Protocol for estimating the impact of climate change on economic growth and inequality under climate policies

“… Note: As we mentioned above, this paper constructs an uncertainty analysis framework with four uncertainty dimensions: (a) climate damages, (b) climate policy, (c) policy costs, and (d) mitigation burdens (see Tang et al. (2023) 1 for details). Predict future economic growth under climate policies.…”

“…It reflects differential distributions of mitigation efforts (see Tang et al. (2023) 1 for details). By combining different scenarios from each of these four dimensions one by one, we obtain 68 scenarios with different economic implications and form a scenario library to assess the long-term potential impacts of near-term climate policies, as shown in Figure 3 .…”

“…These 18 countries include nearly half of the world’s population, including the world’s major Economic power, major developing countries, countries prone to natural disasters, and the world’s poorest coastal countries (see Tang et al. (2023) 1 for details).…”

Mapping carbon reduction: A cross-continental study of alliance strategies

“… 1 Presently, we are navigating through the crucial United Nations Decade of Action 2020–2030, an initiative underscoring the need for globally concerted efforts and innovative solutions to fulfill the SDGs. 2 In concordance with the Paris Agreement’s ambitious mandate 3 to achieve net-zero emissions in the latter half of the century, a growing contingent of countries is actively incorporating this objective into their national agendas, thereby charting pathways toward a carbon-neutral future. Data from the Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit as of 2023 indicate that 159 countries and regions have now pledged to “zero carbon” or “carbon neutrality” commitments.…”

Beyond the barrels: The impact of resource wealth on the energy-economy-climate targets in oil-rich economies

“…According to the IEA [ 4 ], global energy-related CO 2 emissions will increase by 0.9 %, or 321 Mt, in 2022, setting a new record of almost 36.8 Gt. In light of this pressing concern, countries worldwide have reached a unanimous consensus to implement crucial measures aimed at limiting the increase in the average global temperature to a level below 2 °C above the preindustrial era [ 5 ]. Until now, policy discussions have primarily focused on economic trends within developed economies and China.…”
