Carbon emissions and economic impacts of an EU embargo on Russian fossil fuels

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01606-7An EU embargo on Russian fossil fuels would lead to a rapid decrease in fossil fuel combustion, GHG emissions reductions and potential economic losses. This analysis quantifies such effects, while also demonstrating how demand-side responses could offset the negative...

Socio-political feasibility of coal power phase-out and its role in mitigation pathways

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01576-2While important, coal power phase-out in models may be faster than is socio-politically feasible in highly coal-dependent countries. This research shows that reaching the temperature target with these constraints requires faster decline in emissions from the global...

Powering past coal is not enough

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01574-4Modelled low-carbon pathways rarely incorporate processes reflecting social and political realities. Now two studies rise to this challenge by exploring the implications of a landmark initiative to phase out coal, showing that we need greater political ambition...

Net loss of biomass predicted for tropical biomes in a changing climate

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01600-zPrecipitation and temperature affect biomass and carbon storage in the tropics. This study shows that warming-driven contraction of humid regions and expansion of areas with dry periods could double carbon losses, with about one-third associated with decline of...

Coal-exit alliance must confront freeriding sectors to propel Paris-aligned momentum

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 February 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01570-8Coal phase-out is an irreplaceable part of the overall mitigation effort and bottom-up momentum has emerged to accelerate the process. With a new approach considering political feasibility, this research shows the potential spillover risks that may undermine the...
