Open AccessSRM on the table: the role of geoengineering for the stability and effectiveness of climate coalitions
Geoengineering, including solar radiation management (SRM), has received increasing scrutiny due to the rise of climate extremes and slow progress in mitigating global carbon emissions. This climate policy opt...

Open AccessA research and development investment strategy to achieve the Paris climate agreement
Climate stabilization requires the deployment of several low-carbon options, some of which are still not available at large scale or are too costly. Governments will have to make important decisions on how to ...

A randomized trial of energy cost information provision alongside energy-efficiency classes for refrigerator purchases
Energy-efficiency classes provide coarse but easy-to-process information designed to help complex decisions. However, they are multi-attribute indices, imprecisely related to the running costs of graded produc...

Cost and attainability of meeting stringent climate targets without overshoot
Global emissions scenarios play a critical role in the assessment of strategies to mitigate climate change. The current scenarios, however, are criticized because they feature strategies with pronounced oversh...

The cost of mitigation revisited
Estimates of economic implications of climate policy are important inputs into policy-making. Despite care to contextualize quantitative assessments of mitigation costs, one strong view outside academic climat...

Net zero-emission pathways reduce the physical and economic risks of climate change
Mitigation pathways exploring end-of-century temperature targets often entail temperature overshoot. Little is known about the additional climate risks generated by overshooting temperature. Here we assessed t...

Open AccessCounting only the hits? The risk of underestimating the costs of stringent climate policy
This paper warns against the risk of underestimating the costs—and the uncertainty about the costs—of achieving stringent stabilization targets. We argue that a straightforward review of integrated assessment ...
