This book presents the energy system roadmaps necessary to limit
global temperature increase to below 2 DegreesC, in order to avoid
the catastrophic impacts of climate change. It provides a unique
perspective on and critical understanding of the feasibility of a
well-below-2 DegreesC world by exploring energy system pathways,
technology innovations, behaviour change and the macro-economic
impacts of achieving carbon neutrality by mid-century. The
transformative changes in the energy transition are explored using
energy systems models and scenario analyses that are applied to
various cities, countries and at a global scale to offer scientific
evidence to underpin complex policy decisions relating to climate
change mitigation and interrelated issues like energy security and
the energy-water nexus. It includes several chapters directly
related to the Nationally Determined Contributions proposed in the
context of the recent Paris Agreement on Climate Change. In
summary, the book collates a range of concrete analyses at
different scales from around the globe, revisiting the roles of
countries, cities and local communities in pathways to
significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make a
well-below-2 DegreesC world a reality. A valuable source of
information for energy modellers in both the industry and public
sectors, it provides a critical understanding of both the
feasibility of roadmaps to achieve a well-below-2 DegreesC world,
and the diversity and wide applications of energy systems models.
Encompassing behaviour changes; technology innovations;
macro-economic impacts; and other environmental challenges, such as
water, it is also of interest to energy economists and engineers,
as well as economic modellers working in the field of climate
change mitigation.
