Flood Risk for Investors. Are you prepared?
(CICERO Report;2018:05, Research report, 2018-05-04)The report discusses how climate change will affect the frequency and intensity of flooding events. Looking at four case studies, it maps the total costs of flood events and analyses who ultimately pays the costs. The case ... -
Strøm fra folket? Drivkrefter og barrierer
(CICERO Report;2018:04, Report, 2018-04-30)Prosjektet har hatt som målsetting å identifisere drivkrefter for og barrierer mot at norske husholdningskunder blir plusskunder. Vi har sett på hvorfor noen husholdninger i Norge velger å bli plusskunder, hvilke erfaringer ... -
Potensial og barrierer for kommunale klimatiltak
(CICERO Report;2018:03, Research report, 2018-04-25)I denne rapporten har vi sett på potensial og barrierer for lokale klimatiltak der vi har lagt til grunn at Norge fram mot 2050 må redusere sine klimagassutslipp med 80-90% for å bli et såkalt lavutslippssamfunn. Skal Norge ... -
EUs energi- og klimaunion: En analyse av et utvidet klimasamarbeid mellom Norge og EU
(CICERO Policy Note;2018:01, Working paper, 2018-04)Dette arbeidsnotatet gir en kort gjennomgang av norsk klimapolitisk debatt anno 2018. Det redegjøres for hvordan EUs energi- og klimapolitikk etterhvert er blitt stadig mer integrert, og hvordan EUs energiunion vil ha ... -
The trouble with negative emissions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)n December 2015, member states of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement, which aims to hold the increase in the global average temperature to below 2°C and to pursue ... -
Consumption-based GHG emission accounting: a UK case study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Global GHG emissions continue to rise, with nearly a quarter of it due to trade that is not currently captured within global climate policy. In the context of current trade patterns and limited global cooperation on climate ... -
The 'best available science' to inform 1.5°C policy choices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)An IPCC Special Report on 1.5 °C should focus on resolving fundamental scientific and political uncertainties, not fixate on developing unachievable mitigation pathways. -
How will greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles be constrained in China around 2030?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Increasing emissions from road transportation endanger China’s objective to reduce national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The unconstrained growth of vehicle GHG emissions are mainly caused by the insufficient improvement ... -
In the light of equity and science: scientific expertise and climate justice after Paris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)The Paris Agreement is built on a tension between the common goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C, and the differentiation that follows from the principle of equity. Scientific expertise is commonly seen as providing important ... -
COMPARING THE GTAP-MRIO AND WIOD DATABASES FOR CARBON FOOTPRINT ANALYSIS
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)We explore two different worldwide multi-regional input–output (MRIO) databases (Global Trade Analysis Project-MRIO and World Input–Output Database) for the calculation of the global carbon footprint (CF) of nations. We ... -
Reduced carbon emission estimates from fossil fuel combustion and cement production in China
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)early three-quarters of the growth in global carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement production between 2010 and 2012 occurred in China1, 2. Yet estimates of Chinese emissions remain subject to large ... -
Reaching peak emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Rapid growth in global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry ceased in the past two years, despite continued economic growth. Decreased coal use in China was largely responsible, coupled with slower global growth ... -
Climate impacts of short-lived climate forcers versus CO2 from biodiesel: A case of the EU on-road sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Biofuels are proposed to play an important role in several mitigation strategies to meet future CO2 emission targets for the transport sector but remain controversial due to significant uncertainties in net impacts on ... -
Betting on negative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could be used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, its credibility as a climate change mitigation option is unproven and its widespread deployment in climate ... -
Urban infrastructure choices structure climate solutions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Cities are becoming increasingly important in combatting climate change, but their overall role in global solution pathways remains unclear. Here we suggest structuring urban climate solutions along the use of existing and ... -
A multimodel examination of climate Extremes in an idealized geoengineering experiment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Temperature and precipitation extremes are examined in the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project experiment G1, wherein an instantaneous quadrupling of CO2 from its preindustrial control value is offset by a ... -
Quantitative analysis of age pattern of household consumption in urban and rural China
(Journal article, 2015) -
Impact of Urbanization on Carbon Emissions from Perspective of Residential Consumption
(Journal article, 2013) -
Atmospheric methane evolution the last 40 years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Observations at surface sites show an increase in global mean surface methane (CH4) of about 180 parts per billion (ppb) (above 10 %) over the period 1984–2012. Over this period there are large fluctuations in the annual ... -
Regional temperature change potentials for short-lived climate forcers based on radiative forcing from multiple models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We calculate the absolute regional temperature change potential (ARTP) of various short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) based on detailed radiative forcing (RF) calculations from four different models. The temperature response ...
