Country-based rate of emissions reductions should increase by 80% beyond nationally determined contributions to meet the 2 C target
Abstract The 2015 Paris Agreement aims to keep global warming by 2100 to below 2° C,
with 1.5° C as a target. To that end, countries agreed to reduce their emissions by nationally …

How necessary and feasible are reductions of methane emissions from livestock to support stringent temperature goals?
Agriculture is the largest single source of global anthropogenic methane (CH4) emissions,
with ruminants the dominant contributor. Livestock CH4 emissions are projected to grow …

Commercial afforestation can deliver effective climate change mitigation under multiple decarbonisation pathways
Afforestation is an important greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategy but the efficacy of
commercial forestry is disputed. Here, we calculate the potential GHG mitigation of a UK …
