Time is of the essence: Accounting for observed past transformation progress in the ex-ante assessment of climate policies with integrated assessment models
Years of delay in taking meaningful action on climate change, combined with the increasing impetus to pursue the goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C, have compressed the timescale for decarbonizing the energy system to net-zero to a few decades. The focus of research must therefore shift from the fundamental long-term characteristics of net-zero energy systems… Continue reading Time is of the essence: Accounting for observed past transformation progress in the ex-ante assessment of climate policies with integrated assessment models
