Journal ArticleDOI
Energy system transformations for limiting end-of-century warming to below 1.5 °C
Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj,Gunnar Luderer,Robert C. Pietzcker,Elmar Kriegler,Michiel Schaeffer,Volker Krey,Keywan Riahi,Keywan Riahi +8 more
TL;DR: A new analysis shows that global warming could be limited to 1.5 °C by 2100, but that the window for achieving this is small and rapidly closing as mentioned in this paper, but this analysis does not consider the effects of human activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistent growth of CO2 emissions and implications for reaching climate targets
Pierre Friedlingstein,Robbie M. Andrew,Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj,Glen P. Peters,Josep G. Canadell,Reto Knutti,Gunnar Luderer,Michael R. Raupach,Michiel Schaeffer,D.P. van Vuuren,D.P. van Vuuren,C. Le Quéré +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that CO2 emissions track the high end of the latest generation of emissions scenarios, due to lower than anticipated carbon intensity improvements of emerging economies and higher global gross domestic product growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential climate impacts for policy-relevant limits to global warming: the case of 1.5 °C and 2 °C
Carl-Friedrich Schleussner,Tabea Lissner,Erich M. Fischer,Jan Wohland,Mahé Perrette,Antonius Golly,Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj,Katelin Childers,Jacob Schewe,Katja Frieler,Matthias Mengel,William Hare,Michiel Schaeffer +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an assessment of key impacts of climate change at warming levels of 1.5°C and 2°C, including extreme weather events, water availability, agricultural yields, sea-level rise and risk of coral reef loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Science and policy characteristics of the Paris Agreement temperature goal
Carl-Friedrich Schleussner,Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj,Michiel Schaeffer,Tabea Lissner,Rachel Licker,Erich M. Fischer,Reto Knutti,Anders Levermann,Anders Levermann,Anders Levermann,Katja Frieler,William Hare +12 more
TL;DR: There are discernible differences in climate impacts between 1.5 °C and 2 °C of warming as discussed by the authors, and the extent of countries' near-term mitigation ambition will determine the success of the Paris Agreement's temperature goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change impacts in Sub-Saharan Africa: from physical changes to their social repercussions
Olivia Serdeczny,Sophie Adams,Florent Baarsch,Dim Coumou,Alexander Robinson,Alexander Robinson,William Hare,Michiel Schaeffer,Mahé Perrette,Julia Reinhardt +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, climate change projections for this region point to a warming trend, particularly in the inland subtropics; frequent occurrence of extreme heat events; increasing aridity; and changes in rainfall, with a particularly pronounced decline in southern Africa and an increase in East Africa.
