Negative emissions, food security, and the SDGs
Land use related negative emission technologies (LUNETs) – their implications on food security and relevant SDGs - More
New momentum in low-carbon energy
Low-carbon energy is gaining momentum worldwide and is globally reducing carbon dioxide pollution, but unless new technologies are deployed, this momentum could be threatened. More
The Earth system response to negative emissions
During the last century or so, over half of the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning, industry, and deforestation have been absorbed by natural sinks such as the forests and oceans. These natural sinks play a critical role in determining the climate effects of CO2 emissions. More
GCP-WUDAPT Workshop on Global Carbon Mapping
IIASA Researcher Linda See, partner within the WUDAPT initiative co-organizes a workshop to build a global urban knowledge network for informing global research on cities and urbanization. More
Have global emissions peaked?
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are projected to stall in 2015, marking the first time that emissions have slowed without a concomitant economic decline. More
Negative emissions no silver bullet for climate change mitigation
There are significant constraints to large-scale deployment of negative emissions technologies in the future to reach climate change targets, according to a new study including IIASA research. The study emphasizes that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced aggressively and immediately. More
Global Carbon Project: Workshop on negative emissions
IIASA researchers will participate in a workshop focused on the potential promise and problems of negative emissions as a method to mitigate climate change. More
Toyota High-level Symposium on Sustainable Cities
IIASA researchers will take part in a Global Carbon Project (GCP) workshop at the Toyota High-level Symposium on Sustainable Cities, focusing on the challenges of urban and regional carbon management. More
Global Carbon Project names IIASA co-chair
IIASA Deputy Director General Nebojsa Nakicenovic has been named co-chair of the Global Carbon Project, an international research project aimed at better understanding the carbon cycle. More
Negative emissions and the carbon cycle
Can humanity switch from emitting massive amounts of climate-warming gases, to instead removing them from the atmosphere? International researchers discussed the potentials and challenges for negative emissions this week at a meeting co-organized by IIASA and the Global Carbon Project. More
