Humanity already possesses the fundamental scientific, technical, and industrial know-how to solve the carbon and climate problem for the next half-century. A portfolio of technologies now exists to meet the world's energy needs over the next 50 years and limit atmospheric CO2 to a trajectory that avoids a doubling of the preindustrial concentration. Every element in this portfolio has passed beyond the laboratory bench and demonstration project; many are already implemented somewhere at full…

A Portfolio Approach to Climate Change Investment and Policy
The London Accord and other climate change investigations conclude that there is no single solution to the problem of climate change. Mankind must deploy a diverse range of potential solutions -…

Towards a Workable and Effective Climate Regime
This year, for the first time ever, nearly all of the world’s countries are making pledges to help limit future climate change. As of 1 October, 147 countries (representing about 85% of global…

Constructing a Post-2012 Pathway: Being on track to avoid dangerous climate change
As negotiations for a successor to Kyoto heat up, it is critical that any such agreement places the atmosphere on track to avoid dangerous climate change in the long-term. Negotiations should be…
Contending with climate change: The next 25 years
ABSTRACT Any successful effort to address climate change over the next 25 years will involve a “credible swap” that greatly reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, provides…
Stabilisation wedges: measuring progress towards transforming the global energy and land use systems
Fifteen years ago, Pacala and Socolow argued that global carbon emissions could be stabilised by mid-century using a portfolio of existing mitigation strategies. We assess historic progress for each…
Rethinking wedges
Abstract Stabilizing CO2 emissions at current levels for fifty years is not consistent with either an atmospheric CO2 concentration below 500 ppm or global temperature increases below 2 °C. Accepting…
A “Manhattan Project” for climate change?
Climate change is a chronic yet unprecedented threat to civilization. Large scale abatement of greenhouse-gas emissions would require not only replacing carbon-intensive fuels (like coal and oil)…
The Costs of Mitigating Climate Change
The paper reviews analyses of the costs of mitigating climate change and discusses the implications for policy. The estimated effects of reducing carbon emissions by 40%–60% over the next half…
