CfP: Call for abstracts for a special issue of “Climate Policy“ on “Policy instruments for limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C”
Deadline: 15. December 2016
„To date, research on greenhouse gas mitigation policy instruments has rarely been done in the context of very stringent mitigation targets. The Paris Agreement’s aim of limiting warming to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and pursuing efforts to limit the warming to 1.5°C, by achieving a balance between emissions and sinks in the second half of the century, and the special IPCC report due in 2018, creates an urgent need for research on climate policy instruments consistent with 1.5°C emissions pathways. With UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) including urgent action on climate change, the implications for development in many dimensions require attention. „
