Abstract Models for supporting climate adaptation and mitigation planning, mostly in the form
of Integrated Assessment Models, are poorly equipped for aiding questions related to …

Non-state and subnational climate actors have become central to global climate change
governance. Quantitatively assessing climate mitigation undertaken by these entities is …

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 …

Computer-based models provide decision-makers with techno-economic insights into
transition pathways for decarbonising energy systems. Such models mainly focus on techno …

Whether and how long-term energy and climate targets can be reached depend on a range
of interlinked factors: technology, economy, environment, policy, and society at large …

Long-term mitigation scenarios developed by integrated assessment models underpin major
aspects of recent IPCC reports and have been critical to identify the system transformations …

Climate-related asset stranding refers to the depreciation of assets–such as resource
reserves, infrastructure, or industries–resulting from the unanticipated changes, such as the …

This Perspective evaluates recent progress in modeling nature–society systems to inform
sustainable development. We argue that recent work has begun to address longstanding …

To limit global warming to levels set in the Paris Agreement, integrated assessment
modeling highlights the necessity of removing gigatons of carbon dioxide. Direct air capture …

In the last decade, a new strand of energy and climate research emerged that links
quantitative models and socio-technical transitions theories or frameworks. Linking the two …
