Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink (referred to as terrestrial C sink) is an
important way to slow down the continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

A profound transformation of China's energy system is required to achieve carbon neutrality.
Here, we couple Monte Carlo analysis with a bottom-up energy-environment-economy …

China is playing an increasing role in global climate change mitigation, and local authorities
need more city-specific information on the emissions trends and patterns when designing …

Cost degression in photovoltaics, wind-power and battery storage has been faster than
previously anticipated. In the future, climate policy to limit global warming to 1.5–2° C will …

The residential sector is the third-largest energy consumer and emitter globally and as such
is at the forefront of the energy transition and net-zero emissions pathway. To accelerate the …

Ambitious climate policies, as well as economic development, education, technological
progress and less resource-intensive lifestyles, are crucial elements for progress towards …

Over 100 countries have set or are considering net-zero emissions or neutrality targets.
However, most of the information on emissions neutrality (such as timing) is provided for the …

Meeting the Paris Agreement's climate targets necessitates better knowledge about which
climate policies work in reducing emissions at the necessary scale. We provide a global …

Chapter 3 takes a long-term perspective on climate change mitigation pathways. Its focus is
on the implications of long-term targets for the required short-and medium-term system …
