Publications
Domestic Landscape of Climate Finance Feb 2019- This publication describes existing methods to track climate finance and illustrates how these can be helpful for different stakeholders, with a specific focus on Poland.
Realizing the promise of Paris: Roadmap to a safer climate Jan 2019- NRDC and NewClimate Institute examined a realistic set of 24 actions to reduce climate pollution from key countries and sectors. Just 19 of these actions can put the world on track for an emissions pathway needed in 2030 to hold global warming to below 2°C.
Comment on Paris compatibility of “Plataforma” scenarios Jan 2019- NewClimate Institute was asked to write a comment on the Paris compatibility of the energy sector scenarios developed under the Plataforma Escenarios Energéticos Argentina 2040 initiative. The comment discusses how global pathways towards Paris compatibility can be broken down to countries and sectors, highlighting the relevance of the energy sector.
A research roadmap for quantifying non-state and subnational climate mitigation action Dec 2018- In this paper, we make recommendations regarding five main areas of research and methodological development related to evaluating nonstate and subnational climate actions.
Are the G20 economies making enough progress to meet their NDC targets? Dec 2018- This study compares projected GHG emissions in the G20 economies under current climate policies to those under the GHG targets outlined in the nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
