The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Internet of Things (IoT) and the Energy Sector (2020, background): “, consuming less energy for delivering the same service, and the deployment of renewable energy sources are two main alternatives to diminish the adverse impacts of fossil fuel use [12,13].”
Social tipping dynamics for stabilizing Earth’s climate by 2050 (2020, background): “Optimization modeling shows that renewable energy supplies can potentially supply 100% of human power demand (61), and in theory, rapid transformation to low energy demand is possible (30) and will be cost-effective in the long run (62).”
A systematic review of the evidence on decoupling of GDP, resource use and GHG emissions, part II: synthesizing the insights (2020, background): “A recent scenario suggests that low primary energy demand is compatible with staying well below 2 ◦C and providing services that enable wellbeing for all (Grubler et al 2018) .”
On the political feasibility of climate change mitigation pathways: Is it too late to keep warming below 1.5°C? (2019, background): “5 C report (Grubler et al., 2018) offers a new pathway of scaling up best practices of demand reduction, there is no research on the political feasibility of transferring these practices to diverse contexts or on the malleability of rebound effect.”
