The United States: conditions for accelerating decarbonisation in a politically divided country
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)President Biden faces tremendous challenges to overcome political polarisation as he re-commits the United States to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and promises decarbonisation of the US economy over the next three ... -
Institutional inequality and individual preferences for honesty and generosity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper reports on an experiment that investigates how inequality in advantage affects individual preferences for honesty and generosity. In a two-stage experiment, subjects first earn money according to self-reported ... -
Kristiansands klimagassutslipp mot 2030: Referansebane og tiltakspakker
(CICERO Report;2021:05, Report, 2021)CICERO Senter for Klimaforskning og Transportøkonomisk institutt (TØI) har utarbeidet en beregningsmodell og et sett med framskrivinger for klimagassutslipp i Kristiansand kommune fram til 2030. Framskrivingene omfatter ... -
Fossilfri anleggsvirksomhet, Innlandet fylkeskommune
(CICERO Report;2021:03, Report, 2021)Dette notatet tar for seg direkte utslipp fra anleggsmaskiner på anleggsplass, og er utarbeidet av CICERO Senter for klimaforskning på oppdrag fra Innlandet fylkeskommune, avdeling Samferdsel, Trafikk og miljø. Tema som ... -
The impacts of the EU ETS on Norwegian plants’ environmental and economic performance
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper examines the impacts of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) on the environmental and economic performance of Norwegian plants. The ETS is regarded as the cornerstone climate policy in the EU and Norway, but ... -
Future changes in atmospheric rivers and Extreme precipitation in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Flooding events associated with extreme precipitation have had large impacts in Norway. It is well known that these Heavy precipitation events afecting Norway (and other parts of Europe) are strongly associated with ... -
The role of spatial and temporal model resolution in a flood event storyline approach in western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We apply a physical climate storyline approach to an autumn flood event in the West Coast of Norway caused by an atmospheric river to demonstrate the value and challenges of higher spatial and temporal resolution in ... -
Under what conditions will the paris process produce a cycle of increasing ambition sufficient to reach the 2°c goal?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The Paris Agreement establishes a cycle where parties submit their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) every five years. First-round NDCs fail to put emissions on a path consistent with achieving the Agreement’s 2°C ... -
The global methane budget 2000-2017
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding and quantifying the global methane (CH4) budget is important for assessing realistic pathways to mitigate climate change. Atmospheric emissions and concentrations of CH4 continue to increase, making CH4 the ... -
Black Carbon and Precipitation: An Energetics Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Black carbon (BC) aerosols influence precipitation through a range of processes. The climate response to the presence of BC is however highly dependent on its vertical distribution. Here, we analyze the changes in the ... -
How aerosols and greenhouse gases influence the diurnal temperature range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diurnal temperature range (DTR) (or difference between the maximum and minimum temperature within a day) is one of many climate parameters that affects health, agriculture and society. Understanding how DTR evolves ... -
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 ... -
Historical total ozone radiative forcing derived from CMIP6 simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Radiative forcing (RF) time series for total ozone from 1850 up to the present day are calculated based on historical simulations of ozone from 10 climate models contributing to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ... -
Mapping ice in the Norwegian Arctic – on the edge between science and policy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)n the Norwegian Arctic, petroleum exploration is prohibited north of the ice edge (the zone between solid sea ice and open ocean); the mapping and definition of the ice edge becomes the boundary for petroleum exploration. ... -
The Spectral Nature of Stratospheric Temperature Adjustment and its Application to Halocarbon Radiative Forcing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Stratospheric temperature adjustment (STA) is often a significant component of greenhouse gas radiative forcing (RF), for both the most widely used definition of RF and effective radiative forcing. It is well established ... -
European anthropogenic AFOLU greenhouse gas emissions: A review and benchmark data
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and removals from land, including both anthropogenic and natural fluxes, require reliable quantification, including estimates of uncertainties, to support credible mitigation action under ... -
Achievements and needs for the climate change scenario framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Long-term global scenarios have underpinned research and assessment of global environmental change for four decades. Over the past ten years, the climate change research community has developed a scenario framework combining ... -
Cloudy-sky contributions to the direct aerosol effect
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The radiative forcing of the aerosol–radiation interaction can be decomposed into clear-sky and cloudy-sky portions. Two sets of multi-model simulations within Aerosol Comparisons between Observations and Models (AeroCom), ... -
Moving small crafts and services enterprises towards green mobility practices: The role of change agents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The uptake of electric vans in professional enterprises has been slow, and the interest in electric mobility is low compared to that of private consumers. To understand critical barriers, resistance, motivations and drivers ...
