In Climate
Interest in co-benefits—the multiple benefits from mitigating climate change while addressing other sustainability challenges—has grown as policymakers seek to lower the costs of decarbonization. Much of this interest stems from data-driven models that quantify how much improved air quality, better health, and other co-benefits can offset those...

Research has yielded increasingly robust estimates of the co-benefits from mitigating climate change while reducing air pollution, improving health, and meeting other development needs. Though quantifying these often hidden benefits could ease cost concerns and lower technological constraints for development-friendly climate solutions, achieving co...
Briefing Note
主なメッセージ 本稿では、トランプ政権が気候変動政策を弱体化させようとすることが予想される中、その悪影響を軽減する可能性のある要因や、超党派による前向きな協力の可能性のある分野をいくつか挙げている。 インフレ抑制法（IRA）における気候変動対策など、法律に基づく政策を終わらせるのは非常に難しい。議会において共和党は多数派を占めているが、それが非常に僅差であるため、電気自動車（EV）や蓄電池工場への支援停止など、多くの具体的な反気候変動対策が可決されることはないだろう。 バイデン大統領の規制の多くは覆すことが難しく、法廷闘争に耐えられるように設計されている。規制の変更には複雑で長い手続きを踏む必要があり、トランプ政権の新たな規制は...

In Technology in Society
With nearly 70 % of the global population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, cities will need to manage energy transitions to achieve ambitious carbon neutrality goals. As the current rate of decarbonization in cities is too slow to achieve these ambitious goals, feasible pathways toward deep decarbonization are becoming increasingly urgent...

The announcement of India's 2070 net-zero target has demonstrated the power of a credible policy signal and changed the course of India's climate debate. While the Government of India (GoI) has not specified whether this target refers to carbon-dioxide or all greenhouse gases, the announcement has been a watershed moment in India's climate policy...
