The Emissions Gap Report 2012
TL;DR: The third emissions gap report by UNEP and the scientific community has been published since 2010 as discussed by the authors, with a focus on the gap between emission levels consistent with the agreed-upon 2oC climate target and emissions levels projected if country reduction pledges are fulfilled.

The role of Asia in mitigating climate change: Results from the Asia modeling exercise
Katherine Calvin,Leon Clarke,Volker Krey,Geoffrey J. Blanford,Kejun Jiang,Mikiko Kainuma,Elmar Kriegler,Gunnar Luderer,Priyadarshi R. Shukla +8 more
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.

The Emissions Gap Report 2013: A UNEP Synthesis Report
Anne Olhoff,John M. Christensen,Paul Burgon,Riyong Kim Bakkegaard,Cecilie Larsen,Marco Christian Schletz +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the latest estimates of the emissions gap in 2020 and beyond and provide information about the current and projected levels of global greenhouse gas emissions, both in the absence of additional policies and consistent with national pledge implementation, and the implications of starting decided emission reductions now or in the coming decades.

Integrating Global Climate Change Mitigation Goals with Other Sustainability Objectives: A Synthesis
Christoph von Stechow,David L. McCollum,Keywan Riahi,Jan C. Minx,Elmar Kriegler,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Jessica Jewell,Carmenza Robledo-Abad,Edgar G.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed and synthesized results from disparate strands of literature on the coeffects of mitigation to inform climate policy choices at different governance levels, and highlighted that climate policies as part of well-designed policy packages reduce the overall cost of achieving multiple sustainability objectives.

IPCC Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation
TL;DR: The Working Group III Special Report on Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation (SRREN) presents an assessment of the literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of the contribution of six renewable energy sources to the mitigation of climate change as mentioned in this paper.

Impact of climate change on forests in India
TL;DR: An assessment of the impact of projected climate change on forest ecosystems in India based on climate projections of Regional Climate Model of the Hadley Centre using the A2 and B2 scenarios of Special Report on Emissions Scenarios and the BIOME4 vegetation response model concludes that a shift towards wetter forest types in the northeastern region and drier forest type in the northwestern region in the absence of human influence is likely.

Impact of Climate Change on Forests in India
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of projected climate change on forest ecosystems in India is assessed based on climate projections of Regional Climate Model of the Hadley Centre (HadRM3) using the A2 (740 ppm CO2) and B2 (575 ppm CO 2) scenarios of Special Report on Emissions Scenarios and the BIOME4 vegetation response model.

Low-carbon society scenarios for India
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated modelling framework is used for delineating and assessing the alternative development pathways having equal cumulative CO2 emissions during the first half of the 21st century, and a comparative analysis of alternative development strategies is presented on multiple indicators such as energy security, air quality, technology stocks and adaptive capacity, and conclusions are drawn.
