TL;DR: The AMPERE modeling comparison project as mentioned in this paper explored the consequences of global emissions following the proposed policy stringency of the national pledges from the Copenhagen Accord and Cancun Agreements to 2030.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored a situation of staged accession to a global climate policy regime from the current situation of regionally fragmented and moderate climate action, and found that the resulting climate outcome is unlikely to be consistent with the goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of renewable energy (RE) in climate change mitigation has been explored, and the results on renewable energy deployment levels vary considerably across the EMF27 models, which can be attributed to different assumptions about technology costs, resource potentials and systems integration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore a multi-model scenario ensemble to assess the impacts of idealized and non-idealized climate change stabilization policies on fossil fuel markets and find that the long-term reallocation of fossil fuels is significantly larger than the short-term distortion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared specific energy consumption among countries in fossil power generation, steel, and cement sectors using common system boundaries, allocation, and calculation methods, and found that characteristics vary by sub-sectors.
