High-resolution (1 km) Köppen-Geiger maps for 1901–2099 based on constrained CMIP6 projections (2023, background): “6 91 does warming stay below the 2 °C threshold set by the Paris Agreement, which was signed in 2015 by 200 countries 92 .”
“Fixing” Climate Change by Mortgaging the Future: Negative Emissions, Spatiotemporal Fixes, and the Political Economy of Delay (2019, positive): “The IPCC ’ s mitigation scenarios, for example, have almost completely come to rely on so-called “ negative emissions ” in order to meet the 2 ° C/1.5 ° C temperature targets of the Paris Agreement (Peters and Geden 2017; Schleussner et al. 2016; van Vuuren et al. 2017).”
Heat wave exposure in India in current, 1.5 °C, and 2.0 °C worlds (2017, background): “…India nor its potential effect on risk to the national human population have yet been quantified for the 1.5 ◦C and 2.0 ◦C global temperature limits that feature in current United Nations Framework Convention on Climate discussions (Schellnhuber et al 2016, Schleussner et al 2016, Horowitz 2016).”
Negative emissions—Part 1: Research landscape and synthesis (2018, background): “In fact, global GHG emissions will continue to grow until 2030 unless short-term ambition is ratcheted up by many countries (Rogelj et al 2016a, Meinshausen et al 2015, Schleussner et al 2016).”
