TL;DR: The authors in this paper investigated the importance of individual mitigation options such as energy intensity improvements, carbon capture and storage (CCS), nuclear power, solar and wind power and bioenergy for climate mitigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the role of Asia in mitigating climate change, by comparing the results of 23 energy-economy and integrated assessment models and focus their analysis on seven key areas: base year data, future energy use and emissions absent climate policy, the effect of urban and rural development on future energy us and emissions, role of technology in emissions mitigation, regional emissions mitigation and national climate policies.

TL;DR: This article used four integrated assessment models to produce metrics of Paris Agreement pledges, and show differentiated effort across countries: wealthier countries pledge to undertake greater emission reductions with higher costs, suggesting insufficient global ambition in light of leaders' climate goals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an analytic framework for determining optimal R&D investment allocation and presented some numerical results to demonstrate the implementation of the methodology and offer insights into the nature of an optimal technology strategy for addressing climate change.
