Achieving the Paris Climate Agreement Goals: Global and Regional 100% Renewable Energy Scenarios with Non-Energy Ghg Pathways for +1.5c and +2c Teske Sven

This open access book presents detailed pathways to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050, globally and across ten geographical regions. Bringing together the latest research in climate science, renewable energy technology, employment and resource impacts, the book breaks new ground by covering all the elements essential to achieving the ambitious climate mitigation targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement. Based on state-of-the-art scenario modelling, it provides the vital missing link between renewable energy targets and the measures needed to achieve them.

Non-energy greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios define a sustainable pathway for land-use change and the For example, sectoral implementation pathways, with special emphasis on differences between developed and developing countries and regional conditions, provide tools to implement the scenarios globally and domestically.
