Energy investment needs for fulfilling the Paris Agreement and achieving the sustainable development goals

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-model study projects investment needs under countries' nationally determined contributions and in pathways consistent with achieving the 2°C and 1.5°C targets as well as certain SDGs, showing that the pronounced reallocation of the investment portfolio required to transform the energy system will not be initiated by the current suite of countries' Nationally Determined Contributions.

Taking stock of national climate policies to evaluate implementation of the Paris Agreement

TL;DR: It is shown that implementation of current policies leaves a median emission gap of 22.4 to 28.2 GtCO 2 eq by 2030 with the optimal pathways to implement the well below 2 °C and 1.5‬C Paris goals, which shows that all countries would need to accelerate the implementation of policies for renewable technologies, while efficiency improvements are especially important in emerging countries and fossil-fuel-dependent countries.
