A factor of two: how the mitigation plans of ‘climate progressive’ nations fall far short of Paris-compliant pathways (2020, unknown): “…has, for over a decade, underpinned mitigation studies (Allen et al., 2009; Anderson & Bows, 2011; Bows, Mander, Starkey, Bleda, & Anderson, 2006; Knutti & Rogelj, 2015; Raupach et al., 2014; Rockström et al., 2017) and o ﬀ ered a robust scienti ﬁ c foundation for informing mitigation policies…”
Zero emission targets as long-term global goals for climate protection (2015, background): “Near-termdelay implies earlier net zero carbon Relatively higher emissions in the near term require more rapid reductions and lower emissions afterwards (Collins et al 2013, Knutti and Rogelj 2015).”
