Projects

Implemented under a collaborative framework, this project is designed to provide specific analytical, scientific and strategic information and support to strengthen the capacity of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to defend their interests in global climate change negotiations. In the longer term it aims to improve the ability, skills and confidence of the group to make better use of existing knowledge in the negotiations, for example, in the area of climate science.

Assessment of Climate Change Mitigation Pathways and Evaluation of the Robustness of Mitigation Cost Estimates

Climate Analytics is involved in evaluating uncertainties in climate science for mitigation pathways. This project studies climate change mitigation pathways and associated mitigation costs under various real world limitations, taking into account uncertainties in the response of the carbon cycle and climate system to different levels of greenhouse gas emissions. AMPERE addresses these issues and uncertainties by analysing mitigation pathways and the associated mitigation costs in a series of multi-model comparisons.

The integration of emerging economies into the climate regime is one of the largest challenges in climate diplomacy. In this context the project aims to provide analysis that supports the realistic evaluation of the pledges from the most important emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa and South Korea). This includes the assumptions on which the pledges are based as well as the available potential in the countries and the status of implementation. The project also provides ongoing support to the climate negotiations.
