Residual emissions in long-term national climate strategies show limited climate ambition

One Earth, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 7(5), С. 867 - 884

Опубликована: Май 1, 2024

Net-zero targets imply a need to compensate for residual emissions through the deployment of carbon dioxide removal methods. Yet extent within national climate plans, alongside their distribution, is largely unexplored. Here, we analyze 71 long-term strategies understand how governments engage with emissions. Screening 139 scenarios, determined that only 26 quantify Residual are on average 21% peak Annex I countries, ranging from 5% 52% (excluding land use). For non-Annex 34%. By sector, agriculture represents largest contributor total (on average, 36% countries and 35% countries). High-residual-emission scenarios show some may retain or expand fossil fuel production use, using more international offsets achieve net zero.

Navigating Net Zero: Analysing Residual Emissions in Long-Term National Climate Strategies

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

Net zero targets imply a need to compensate for residual emissions through the deployment of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods. Yet date, extent within national climate plans, alongside their distribution, is largely unexplored. Here, we analyse 70 long-term strategies submitted UNFCCC or European Commission, understand how governments engage with concept emissions. We screened according inclusion net scenarios and systematically analysed all statements concerning hard-to-abate Screening 136 scenarios, determined that only 26 include an estimate Residual are on average 21% peak excluding land-use Annex I countries, range 5-52%. High emission show some countries may retain expand fossil fuel production use, by using more CDR international offsets achieve zero.
