A decentralized approach to model national and global food and land use systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries. We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling ... -
Delayed emergence of a global temperature response after emission mitigation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A major step towards achieving the goals of the Paris agreement would be a measurable change in the evolution of global warming in response to mitigation of anthropogenic emissions. The inertia and internal variability of ... -
The deployment length of solar radiation modification: an interplay of mitigation, net-negative emissions and climate uncertainty
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A growing body of literature investigates the effects of solar radiation modification (SRM) on global and regional climates. Previous studies have focused on the potentials and the side effects of SRM, with little attention ... -
Developing B2B electric car sharing as a sustainable mode of work travels. A community-based affordances perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A combination of business-to-business car sharing and electric cars—shared electric cars (SECs)—has the potential to significantly reduce emissions from local travels during work time in organisations. In this paper, we ... -
Developing countries’ responsibilities for CO2 emissions in value chains are larger and growing faster than those of developed countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Carbon emissions associated with international trade are significant. The emergence of complex global value chains (GVCs) in recent decades, in which a country can operate as both a consumer and producer simultaneously, ... -
Dirty air offsets inequality
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Atmospheric aerosols have probably masked a significant portion of the greenhouse-gas-induced warming so far. Research now shows that this also may have masked some of the world’s increasing economic inequality. -
Distinct responses of Asian summer monsoon to black carbon aerosols and greenhouse gases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Black carbon (BC) aerosols emitted from natural and anthropogenic sources induce positive radiative forcing and global warming, which in turn significantly affect the Asian summer monsoon (ASM). However, many aspects of ... -
Distinct surface response to black carbon aerosols
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)For the radiative impact of individual climate forcings, most previous studies focused on the global mean values at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), and less attention has been paid to surface processes, especially for ... -
Distributive fairness: A mutual recognition approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Can norms of distributive fairness serve as pillars of a new and more effective global climate regime? Three general principles – responsibilities, capabilities (capacity), and needs (or rights) – are frequently invoked ... -
Does a change in the 'global net zero' language matter?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Changes in language used in long term climate policy can undermine their credibility and discourage climate action. Previous IPCC reports have promoted an idea of reaching ‘global net zero’ (GNZ) emissions by 2050 in order ... -
Does polycentrism deliver? A case study of energy community governance in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European Union's Clean Energy Package (CEP) plans to transform ‘passive consumers’ into ‘active citizens’ to support the transition to a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. By stimulating the growth of renewable ... -
Does solar geoengineering crowd-out climate change mitigation efforts? Evidence from a stated preference referendum on a carbon tax
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Solar geoengineering is increasingly being considered a realistic approach to managing climate change. One crucial concern is whether geoengineering crowds out efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Adding to a ... -
Downscaling probability of long heatwaves based on seasonal mean daily maximum temperatures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)A methodology for estimating and downscaling the probability associated with the duration of heatwaves is presented and applied as a case study for Indian wheat crops. These probability estimates make use of empirical-statistical ... -
Driving forces in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in east and south coastal China: commonality and variations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)As the world's top carbon dioxide emitter, China is expected to reach its emissions peak by 2030. East and south coastal China contribute nearly one-third of the emissions in China, and therefore play a critical role in ... -
Dynamic ecosystem assembly and escaping the "fire trap" in the tropics: insights from FATES_15.0.0
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Fire is a fundamental part of the Earth system, with impacts on vegetation structure, biomass, and community composition, the latter mediated in part via key fire-tolerance traits, such as bark thickness. Due to anthropogenic ... -
Dynamical response of Mediterranean precipitation to greenhouse gases and aerosols

Earlier emergence of a temperature response to mitigation by filtering annual variability
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The rate of global surface warming is crucial for tracking progress towards global climate targets, but is strongly influenced by interannual-to-decadal variability, which precludes rapid detection of the temperature ... -
Earth System Model Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool) v2.0-diagnostics for extreme events, regional and impact evaluation, and analysis of Earth system models in CMIP
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper complements a series of now four publications that document the release of the Earth System Model Evaluation Tool (ESMValTool) v2.0. It describes new diagnostics on the hydrological cycle, extreme events, impact ... -
Earth system resilience and tipping behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Anthropogenic climate change, marked by unprecedented extremes, is an immediate concern. The Earth's limited ability to adapt to abrupt changes within our societal timeframe has raised global alarm. Resilience, the capacity ... -
Economic and Environmental Benefits from Municipal Solid Waste Recycling in the Murmansk Region
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Most municipal solid waste (MSW) in Russia is disposed of in landfills, and only a relatively small fraction is recycled. The landfilling of waste leads to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and air and groundwater pollution. ...
