Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) develop long-term mitigation scenarios which play an essential role in the development of IPCC reports. These models, however, have been criticized for proposing solutions that are challenging to carry out due to a lack of consideration of social and institutional challenges. In the paper "A multidimensional feasibility evaluation of low-carbon scenarios by person" (Brutschin, et al., 2021), scientists proposed a versatile, multidimensional framework that allows for comparisons between decarbonization pathways by quantifying feasibility concerns. This online, interactive tool was developed to complement this paper and allows the user to examine this framework in more detail.
Dataset
This application serves as an expansion of the Bayesian Reconstruction of Populations and Vital Rates by Educational Attainment (BayesEdu) project. Its objective is to integrate existing demographic data to generate accurate estimates of population sizes and vital rates categorized by educational attainment, while also considering associated uncertainties.
Dataset
We provide a global spatially explicit characterization of terrestrial and marine habitat types, as defined in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) habitat classification scheme, which is widely used in ecological analyses, including for assessing species’ Area of Habitat. The maps broaden our understanding of habitats globally, assist in constructing area of habitat (AOH) refinements and are relevant for broad-scale ecological studies and future IUCN Red List assessments.
Dataset
A host of scientific chemistry and climate model experiments explore responses of the global atmosphere and climate systems to possible future changes in emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases.
The Pollution Management research group (formerly AIR program) has used its GAINS model to develop a set of global emission fields of nine substances that provide consistent sets of future sectoral emissions for well-specified assumptions on economic development and the effectiveness of dedicated emission control policies.
Tool
The new website is designed to provide latest information on climate mitigation and climate impacts, and aims to be a comprehensive resource for individuals, businesses, and policymakers looking to use some of the latest data from research on climate impacts and net zero mitigation pathways. The CSE website features a range of content, including and interactive map of climate change impacts, national and regional data dashboards of impacts and mitigation pathways, and interactive articles on a range of climate topics and countries.
