Open AccessBiodiversity losses associated with global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels in six countries
We quantify the projected impacts of alternative levels of global warming upon the climatically determined geographic ranges of plants and vertebrates in six countries (China, Brazil, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana an...

Open AccessRisks associated with global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels in human and natural systems in six countries
The Topical Collection “Accrual of Climate Change Risk in Six Vulnerable Countries” provides a harmonised assessment of risks to human and natural systems due to global warming of 1.5–4 °C in six countries (Ch...

Open AccessGlobal and regional aggregate damages associated with global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels
We quantify global and regional aggregate damages from global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels using a well-established integrated assessment model, PAGE09. We find mean global aggregate damages...

Open AccessThe implications of the United Nations Paris Agreement on climate change for globally significant biodiversity areas
Climate change is already affecting species and their distributions. Distributional range changes have occurred and are projected to intensify for many widespread plants and animals, creating associated risks ...

The AVOID programme’s new simulations of the global benefits of stringent climate change mitigation
Quantitative simulations of the global-scale benefits of climate change mitigation are presented, using a harmonised, self-consistent approach based on a single set of climate change scenarios. The approach dr...

Quantifying the benefit of early climate change mitigation in avoiding biodiversity loss
Climate change is expected to significantly influence biodiversity, but the performance of climate change mitigation strategies in reducing these impacts is not yet known. Simulations of the future ranges of c...

Variation in the climatic response to SRES emissions scenarios in integrated assessment models
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) have commonly been used to understand the relationship between the economy, the earth’s climate system and climate impacts. We compare the IPCC simulations of CO2 concentration...

An Integrated Assessment Model for Fine Particulate Matter in Europe
Exposure to fine particles in the ambient air is recognized as a significant threat to human health. Two pathways contribute to the particle burden in the atmosphere: Fine particles originate from primary emis...
