“…Although it has been a subdued conversation within debates about integrated assessment models (IAMs) generally [47,49,56,59,60], there have been multiple efforts to improve the representation of equity in these models [4,[61][62][63][64]. Similarly, a number of groups have explicitly included equity in national modelling efforts [65,66]. In this section, we juxtapose the framework of equity elements developed above with existing modelling practices.…”

“…Overall, national modelling has been better at including the context specific characteristics needed to identify heterogeneous costs such as imperfect employment and energy system structures [65,95]. Some national modelling has also explored strategies for mitigating policy costs imposed on low income populations through mitigation action [66,71,96]. National modelling has also allowed for the analysis of co-benefits in developing [93,97,98] and developed [99] countries, much of this emerging from south-south collaborations [100].…”

Emission pathways consistent with limiting temperature increase to 1.5°C raise pressing questions from an equity perspective. These pathways would limit impacts and benefit vulnerable communities but also present trade-offs that could increase inequality. Meanwhile, rapid mitigation could exacerbate political debates in which equity has played a central role. In this paper, we first develop a set of elements we suggest are essential for evaluating the equity implications of policy actions consistent with 1.5°C. These elements include (i) assess climate impacts, adaptation, loss and damage; (ii) be sensitive to context; (iii) compare costs of mitigation and adaptation policy action; (iv) incorporate human development and poverty; (v) integrate inequality dynamics; and (vi) be clear about normative assumptions and responsive to users. We then assess the ability of current modelling practices to address each element, focusing on global integrated assessment models augmented by national modelling and scenarios. We find current practices face serious limitations across all six dimensions although the severity of these varies. Finally, based on our assessment we identify strategies that may be best suited for enabling us to generate insights into each of the six elements in the context of assessing pathways for a 1.5°C world.This article is part of the theme issue 'The Paris Agreement: understanding the physical and social challenges for a warming world of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels'.

“…In particular, many IAMs face structural challenges including context-specific aspects of non-climate co-benefits or costs. 22 There is also a "bottom-up" literature 23 , designed around national circumstances and policy, which conducts country-scale investigation of development and ambitious climate objectives for a wide range of countries across Asia [24][25][26][27][28] , Latin America [29][30][31][32][33][34] , Africa 35,36 , Europe [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] and North America. [44][45][46][47][48][49] Several studies describe multi-country exercises in which country teams co-explored their domestic pathways.…”

A pathway design framework for national low greenhouse gas emission development strategies

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Paris Agreement introduces long-term strategies as an instrument to inform progressively more ambitious emission reduction objectives, whilst holding development goals paramount in context of national circumstances. In the lead up to COP21, the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project developed mid-century low-emission pathways for 16 countries, based on an innovative pathway design framework. In this Perspective we describe this framework and show how it can support the development of sectorally and technologically detailed and policy-relevant country-driven strategies consistent with the Paris Agreement climate goal. We also discuss how this framework can be used to engage stakeholder input and buy-in; design implementation policy packages; reveal necessary technological, financial and institutional enabling conditions; and support global stocktaking and ratcheting of ambition.

“…Indeed, it has been widely recognized that poorer segments of society are generally more vulnerable to negative climate impacts, especially where such events interact with and amplify non-climatic stressors (Olsson et al, 2014). It has also been argued that the costs of emissions reduction policies may further negatively impact the poorest households, absent measures to offset the distributional impacts of those policies (Grottera et al 2017;Goulder 2013;Büchs et al 2011;Callan et al 2009).…”

Can the Paris deal boost SDGs achievement? An assessment of climate mitigation co-benefits or side-effects on poverty and inequality

The paper analyses the synergies and trade-offs between emission reduction policies and sustainable development objectives. Specifically, it provides an ex-ante assessment that the impacts of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), submitted under the Paris Agreement, will have on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of poverty eradication (SDG1) and reduced income inequality (SDG10). By combining an empirical analysis with a modelling exercise, the paper estimates the future trends of poverty prevalence and inequality across countries in a reference scenario and under a climate mitigation policy with alternative revenue recycling schemes. Our results suggest that a full implementation of the emission reduction contributions, stated in the NDCs, is projected to slow down the effort to reduce poverty by 2030 (+2% of the population below the poverty line compared to the baseline scenario), especially in countries that have proposed relatively more stringent mitigation targets and suffer higher policy costs. Conversely, countries with a stringent mitigation policy experience a reduction of inequality compared to baseline scenario levels. If financial support for mitigation action in developing countries is provided through an international climate fund, the prevalence of poverty will be slightly reduced at the aggregate level (185,000 fewer poor people with respect to the mitigation scenario), but the country-specific effect depends on the relative size of funds flowing to beneficiary countries and on their economic structure.
