Non-technical summary This paper expands the range of scenarios usually explored in integrated assessment models by exploring unconventional economic scenarios (steady-state and degrowth) and assuming no use of negative emissions. It is shown, using a mathematical model of climate and economy, that keeping cumulative emissions within the 1.5 degree carbon budget is possible under all growth assumptions, assuming a rapid electrification of end use and an immediate upscaling of renewable energy investments. Under business-as-usual investment assumptions no economic trajectory corresponds with emissions reductions consistent with the 1.5 degree carbon budget. Technical summary This paper presents a stock-flow consistent input–output integrated assessment model designed to explore the dual dynamics of transitioning to renewable energy while electrifying end use subject a carbon budget constraint. Unlike the majority of conventional integrated assessment model analyses, this paper does not assume the deployment of carbon dioxide removal and examines the role that alternative economic pathways (steady-states and degrowth) may play in achieving 1.5°C consistent emissions pathways. The model is internally calibrated based on a life-cycle energy return on investment scheme and the energy transition dynamics are captured via a dynamic input–output formulation. Renewable energy investment as a fraction of gross domestic product for successful emissions pathways reaches 5%. In terms of new capital requirements and investments, degrowth trajectories impose lower transition requirements than steady-state and growth trajectories. Social media summary We explore the role that steady-state and degrowth economic trajectories may play in emissions reductions consistent with a 1.5 degree world..
非技术性总结本文通过探索非常规经济情景(稳态和衰退)并假设不使用负排放,扩大了综合评估模型中通常探索的情景范围。使用气候和经济的数学模型表明,在所有增长假设下,假设最终用途的快速电气化和可再生能源投资的立即扩大,将累计排放量保持在1.5度的碳预算内是可能的。在一切照旧的投资假设下,没有任何经济轨迹与符合1.5度碳预算的减排相一致。技术摘要本文提出了一个库存流一致性投入产出综合评估模型,旨在探索在碳预算约束下向可再生能源转型同时实现最终用途电气化的双重动力。与大多数传统的综合评估模型分析不同,本文没有假设二氧化碳去除的部署,并考察了替代经济途径(稳定状态和衰退)在实现1.5°C一致排放途径方面可能发挥的作用。该模型基于生命周期能源投资回报方案进行内部校准,并通过动态输入-输出公式获取能源转型动态。对于成功的排放途径,可再生能源投资占国内生产总值的比例达到5%。就新的资本要求和投资而言,与稳态和增长轨迹相比,衰退轨迹的过渡要求更低。社交媒体摘要我们探讨了稳态和衰退经济轨迹在与1.5度世界一致的减排中可能发挥的作用。。

Non-technical summary By distinguishing between developed and less developed nations, the concept of development subtly establishes hierarchies and a supposed comparability, which is highly ambivalent from a socio-ethical point of view. The idea of holistic development in Catholic social teaching focus on cultural dimensions and therefore sets an important counter accent to the fixation on socio-technically producible and countable things. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lack a coherence between the social and the ecological components as well as a naming of power conflicts. For a power-critical, postcolonial and participatory concept of development, their interpretation could learn substantially from the encyclical Laudato si'. Technical summary The paradigm of development is subjected to a radical critique in parts of the academic debate: Is the idea of development, which in a gesture of aid divides the world into “developed” and “underdeveloped” nations and thus establishes a hierarchy, still politically and morally justifiable at all? Has this concept possibly become a backdoor to prolong the old colonial power relations into the 21st century, even to increase them in some cases? Is development one of the great utopias of the 20th century that promised freedom and brought division? Is the ecological overexploitation of global resources the inevitable reverse side of the spread of the Western model of prosperity disguised as “development”? Do the SDGs act subcutaneously as enablers of Western imperial power, or do they represent a genuine paradigm shift? This article explores these questions in four steps: 1. Is the age of development is over? 2. The ideal of “integral development” – steps of a revision process 3. In the tension between ecological and social goals: A Comparison of the “Sustainable Development Goals” and the Encyclical Laudato si' 4. Priorities and strategies of a “post-utopian development policy”. Social media summary The shadows of colonial thinking are still effective today in development concepts fixated on countable factors of socioeconomic efficiency.
非技术性总结通过区分发达国家和欠发达国家,发展概念微妙地建立了等级制度和所谓的可比性,从社会伦理的角度来看,这是高度矛盾的。天主教社会教学中的整体发展思想关注文化维度,因此与对社会技术上可生产和可计数事物的执着形成了重要的对立。可持续发展目标缺乏社会和生态组成部分之间的一致性,也缺乏权力冲突的命名。对于一个权力批判、后殖民和参与式的发展概念,他们的解释可以从通谕《Laudato si》中学到很多东西。技术摘要在部分学术辩论中,发展范式受到了激进的批评:发展理念在政治和道德上是否仍然合理?发展理念以援助的姿态将世界分为“发达”和“欠发达”国家,从而建立了一种等级制度?这个概念是否可能成为将旧的殖民大国关系延长到21世纪的后门,甚至在某些情况下会增加这种关系?发展是20世纪承诺自由并带来分裂的伟大乌托邦之一吗?全球资源的生态过度开发是西方繁荣模式传播的必然反面吗?可持续发展目标是作为西方帝国权力的推动者,还是代表着真正的范式转变?本文分四个步骤探讨这些问题:1。发展的时代结束了吗?2.“整体发展”的理想——修订过程的步骤3。在生态和社会目标之间的张力中:“可持续发展目标”与Laudato si'4通谕的比较。“后乌托邦式发展政策”的优先事项和战略。社交媒体摘要殖民思维的阴影今天在关注社会经济效率的可数因素的发展概念中仍然有效。

Non-technical summary Transforming towards global sustainability requires a dramatic acceleration of social change. Hence, there is growing interest in finding ‘positive tipping points’ at which small interventions can trigger self-reinforcing feedbacks that accelerate systemic change. Examples have recently been seen in power generation and personal transport, but how can we identify positive tipping points that have yet to occur? We synthesise theory and examples to provide initial guidelines for creating enabling conditions, sensing when a system can be positively tipped, who can trigger it, and how they can trigger it. All of us can play a part in triggering positive tipping points. Technical summary Recent work on positive tipping points towards sustainability has focused on social-technological systems and the agency of policymakers to tip change, whilst earlier work identified social-ecological positive feedbacks triggered by diverse actors. We bring these together to consider positive tipping points across social-technological-ecological systems and the potential for multiple actors and interventions to trigger them. Established theory and examples provide several generic mechanisms for triggering tipping points. From these we identify specific enabling conditions, reinforcing feedbacks, actors and interventions that can contribute to triggering positive tipping points in the adoption of sustainable behaviours and technologies. Actions that can create enabling conditions for positive tipping include targeting smaller populations, altering social network structure, providing relevant information, reducing price, improving performance, desirability and accessibility, and coordinating complementary technologies. Actions that can trigger positive tipping include social, technological and ecological innovations, policy interventions, public investment, private investment, broadcasting public information, and behavioural nudges. Positive tipping points can help counter widespread feelings of disempowerment in the face of global challenges and help unlock ‘paralysis by complexity’. A key research agenda is to consider how different agents and interventions can most effectively work together to create system-wide positive tipping points whilst ensuring a just transformation. Social media summary We identify key actors and actions that can enable and trigger positive tipping points towards global sustainability.
非技术性摘要向全球可持续性转变需要大幅加速社会变革。因此,人们对寻找“积极的临界点”越来越感兴趣,在这个临界点上,小型干预可以引发自我强化的反馈,加速系统性变革。发电和个人交通最近也出现了例子,但我们如何确定尚未出现的积极转折点?我们综合了理论和例子,为创造有利条件、感知系统何时可以被正向触发、谁可以触发以及他们如何触发提供了初步指导。我们所有人都可以在触发正向触发点方面发挥作用。技术摘要最近关于可持续发展积极临界点的工作侧重于社会技术系统和决策者推动变革的机构,而早期的工作则确定了由不同行为者引发的社会生态积极反馈。我们将这些因素结合在一起,以考虑整个社会技术生态系统的积极转折点,以及多种行为者和干预措施触发这些转折点的潜力。已有的理论和实例提供了触发临界点的几种通用机制。从中,我们确定了具体的有利条件、强化反馈、行为者和干预措施,这些条件、行为者和措施有助于在采用可持续行为和技术方面引发积极的转折点。可以为积极小费创造有利条件的行动包括针对较小的人口,改变社会网络结构,提供相关信息,降低价格,提高性能、可取性和可及性,以及协调互补技术。可以引发积极影响的行动包括社会、技术和生态创新、政策干预、公共投资、私人投资、广播公共信息和行为推动。积极的临界点有助于消除面对全球挑战时普遍存在的权力被剥夺的感觉,并有助于解开“复杂性造成的瘫痪”。一个关键的研究议程是考虑不同的主体和干预措施如何最有效地合作,在确保公正转型的同时,创造全系统的积极转折点。社交媒体摘要我们确定了能够实现和触发全球可持续性的积极转折点的关键行为者和行动。

Non-technical summary Transformation of the world towards sustainability in line with the 2030 Agenda requires progress on multiple dimensions of human well-being. We track development of relevant indicators for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1–7 against gross domestic product (GDP) per person in seven world regions and the world as a whole. Across the regions, we find uniform development patterns where SDGs 1–7 – and therefore main human needs – are achieved at around US$15,000 measured in 2011 US$ purchasing power parity (PPP). Technical summary How does GDP per person relate to the achievement of well-being as targeted by the 2030 Agenda? The 2030 Agenda includes global ambitions to meet human needs and aspirations. However, these need to be met within planetary boundaries. In nascent world-earth modelling, human well-being as well as global environmental impacts are linked through economic production, which is tracked by GDP. We examined historic developments on 5-year intervals, 1980–2015, between average income and the advancement on indicators of SDGs 1–7. This was done for both seven world regions and the world as a whole. We find uniform patterns of saturation for all regions above an income threshold somewhere around US$15,000 measured in 2011 US$ PPP. At this level, main human needs and capabilities are met. The level is also consistent with studies of life satisfaction and the Easterlin paradox. We observe stark differences with respect to scale: the patterns of the world as an aggregated whole develop differently from all its seven regions, with implications for world-earth model construction – and sustainability transformations. Social media summary Reaching human well-being #SDGs takes GDP levels of $15k. This may help shape transformation to a world that respects #PlanetaryBoundaries.
非技术性摘要根据《2030年议程》实现世界可持续性转型需要在人类福祉的多个方面取得进展。我们跟踪了世界七个地区和整个世界可持续发展目标1-7的相关指标相对于人均国内生产总值的发展情况。在各个地区,我们发现了统一的发展模式,以2011年购买力平价(PPP)衡量,可持续发展目标1-7以及人类的主要需求约为15000美元。技术摘要人均国内生产总值与实现2030年议程目标的福祉有何关系?《2030年议程》包括满足人类需求和愿望的全球雄心。然而,这些需要在行星边界内得到满足。在新生的世界地球模型中,人类福祉和全球环境影响通过经济生产联系在一起,经济生产由GDP跟踪。我们研究了1980-2015年平均收入和可持续发展目标1-7指标进步之间的5年历史发展。这是为世界七个地区和整个世界所做的。我们发现,以2011年购买力平价衡量,收入阈值在15000美元左右的所有地区的饱和模式都是一致的。在这一层面上,满足了人类的主要需求和能力。这一水平也与生活满意度和伊斯特林悖论的研究相一致。我们观察到规模上的明显差异:世界作为一个整体的模式与七个地区的发展方式不同,这对世界地球模型的构建和可持续性的转变都有影响。社交媒体摘要实现人类福祉#可持续发展目标需要15000美元的GDP水平。这可能有助于塑造一个尊重#PlanetaryBoundaries的世界。

The evolution of knowledge processing and the sustainability conundrum 知识处理的演变与可持续性难题

Non-technical summary Our time seems to be trapped in a paradox. On the one hand, the capacity to master information has tremendously increased, but on the other hand the capacity to use the knowledge humanity produces seems at stake. There is a gap between our capacity to know and our capacity to act. We attempt to better understand that situation by considering the evolution of knowledge processing along human history, in particular the relation between the development of information technologies and the complexity of societies, the balance between the known and the unknown, and the current emergence of autonomous machines allowing intelligent processes. Technical summary Information-processing capacities developed historically in conjunction with the complexity of human societies. Positive feedback loops contributed to the co-evolution of knowledge, social organization, environmental transformation, and information technologies. Very powerful loops now drive the rapid emergence of global digital platforms, disrupting legacy organizations and economic equilibria. The simultaneous emergence of the awareness of the sustainability conundrum and the digital revolution is striking. Both are extremely disruptive and contribute to a surge in complexity, but how do they relate to each other? Paradoxically, as the capacity to master information increases, the capacity to use the knowledge humanity produces seems to lag. The objective of this paper is to analyze the current divergence between knowledge and action, from the angle of the co-evolution of information processing and societal transformation. We show how the interplay between perception and action, between the known and the unknown, between information processing and ontological uncertainty, has evolved toward a sense of control, a hubris, which abolishes the unknown and hinders action. A possible outcome of this interplay might lead to a society controlled to stay in its safe operating space, involving a strong delegation of information processing to autonomous machines, as well as extensive forms of biopolitics. Social media summary The sustainability conundrum and the digital revolution are entangled phenomena leading to complexity and disruption.
我们的时代似乎陷入了一个悖论。一方面,掌握信息的能力大大提高,但另一方面,利用人类创造的知识的能力似乎岌岌可危。我们的认知能力和行动能力之间存在着差距。我们试图通过考虑人类历史上知识处理的演变来更好地理解这种情况,特别是信息技术发展与社会复杂性之间的关系,已知与未知之间的平衡,以及当前出现的允许智能过程的自主机器。信息处理能力在历史上随着人类社会的复杂性而发展。正反馈循环促进了知识、社会组织、环境转型和信息技术的共同进化。如今,非常强大的循环推动着全球数字平台的迅速崛起,打破了传统组织和经济平衡。人们对可持续发展难题的认识与数字革命同时出现,这令人震惊。两者都极具破坏性,并导致复杂性激增,但它们是如何相互关联的呢?矛盾的是,当掌握信息的能力增强时,使用人类创造的知识的能力似乎滞后了。本文旨在从信息加工与社会变革的共同演化的角度分析当前知识与行动的分化。我们展示了感知与行动之间、已知与未知之间、信息处理与本体不确定性之间的相互作用是如何演变成一种控制感、一种傲慢,这种傲慢消除了未知并阻碍了行动。这种相互作用的一个可能结果可能是,一个社会被控制在其安全的运行空间中,包括将信息处理的强大授权给自主机器,以及广泛形式的生物政治。可持续性难题和数字革命是相互纠缠的现象,导致了复杂性和破坏性。

A safe and just space for urban mobility: a framework for sector-based sustainable consumption corridor development 城市流动的安全和公正空间:基于部门的可持续消费走廊发展框架

Non-technical summary The exponential growth of humanity's resource consumption over the last half-century has led to ecological decline while people's basic needs have not been universally satisfied. The ‘doughnut economy’ and sustainable consumption corridor concepts have gained global attention, providing frameworks in which the maximum allowable environmental impacts and the minimum social levels acceptable to lead a good life establish a guiding pathway to meet human needs whilst remaining within the Earth's carrying capacity. We apply this thinking to the urban mobility sector in this article in an attempt to formulate a ‘safe and just space’ for urban mobility. Technical summary The theoretical and broad application of the ‘doughnut economy’ and sustainable consumption corridor concepts are lacking in implementation due to a limited understanding of sectoral thresholds. This study highlights the weakness of sustainable urban mobility indicator studies which often lack connections to ecological ceilings and social foundations and, thus, lack the ability to show if a mobility system is intergenerationally sustainable or not. Therefore, this study aims to bridge this knowledge gap and develop a mobility sector-focused sustainable consumption corridor. It does so by using a collection of concepts and associated indicators ranging from sustainable urban mobility, sustainable consumption corridors, ecological thresholds, needs theory and mobility social impacts to mobility poverty. The output of this study is an initial design of a mobility-focused sustainable consumption corridor with suggested themes and indicators to measure the relative performance of a region in relation to the material dimensions of the corridor accompanied by a discussion surrounding spatial, temporal and sectoral corridor-defining thresholds. This work provides a novel first step in the direction of sector-based sustainable consumption corridors which can aid in providing a transformational alternative to the status quo through the implementation of safe and just sectors. Social media summary This article applies the ‘doughnut economy’ and sustainable consumption corridors to the urban mobility sector. It provides a framework for evaluating urban mobility systems in terms of their ecological impacts (the ‘ecological ceiling’) and providing for human needs (the ‘social floor’), and for defining a ‘safe and just space for urban mobility’.
半个世纪以来,人类资源消耗的指数级增长导致了生态的衰退,而人们的基本需求却没有得到普遍满足。“甜甜圈经济”和可持续消费走廊的概念已经引起了全球的关注,它们提供了一个框架,在这个框架中,最大限度地允许环境影响和最低限度的社会水平可以过上美好的生活,从而建立了一条指导途径,在满足人类需求的同时保持在地球的承载能力范围内。在本文中,我们将这一思想应用于城市交通领域,试图为城市交通制定一个“安全公正的空间”。由于对部门阈值的理解有限,“甜甜圈经济”和可持续消费走廊概念的理论和广泛应用在实施中缺乏。这项研究突出了可持续城市流动性指标研究的弱点,这些研究往往缺乏与生态天花板和社会基础的联系,因此缺乏显示流动性系统是否具有代际可持续的能力。因此,本研究旨在弥合这一知识鸿沟,并开发一个以交通部门为重点的可持续消费走廊。它通过使用一系列概念和相关指标,从可持续城市流动性、可持续消费走廊、生态阈值、需求理论和流动性社会影响到流动性贫困。本研究的产出是一个以流动性为重点的可持续消费走廊的初步设计,其中提出了主题和指标,以衡量一个地区在走廊的物质维度方面的相对表现,并围绕空间、时间和部门走廊定义阈值进行了讨论。这项工作为以部门为基础的可持续消费走廊的方向迈出了新的第一步,该走廊可以通过实施安全和公正的部门,帮助提供一种改变现状的替代方案。本文将“甜甜圈经济”和可持续消费走廊应用于城市交通领域。它为评估城市交通系统的生态影响(“生态天花板”)和满足人类需求(“社会底层”)提供了一个框架,并为城市交通提供了一个“安全和公正的空间”。

The ‘doughnut economy’ and sustainable consumption corridor concepts have gained global attention, providing frameworks in which the maximum allowable environmental impacts and the minimum social levels acceptable to lead a good life establish a guiding pathway to meet human needs whilst remaining within the Earth's carrying capacity. We apply this thinking to the urban mobility sector in this article in an attempt to formulate a ‘safe and just space’ for urban mobility. Technical summary The theoretical and broad application of the ‘doughnut economy’ and sustainable consumption corridor concepts are lacking in implementation due to a limited understanding of sectoral thresholds. This study highlights the weakness of sustainable urban mobility indicator studies which often lack connections to ecological ceilings and social foundations and, thus, lack the ability to show if a mobility system is intergenerationally sustainable or not. Therefore, this study aims to bridge this knowledge gap and develop a mobility sector-focused sustainable consumption corridor. It does so by using a collection of concepts and associated indicators ranging from sustainable urban mobility, sustainable consumption corridors, ecological thresholds, needs theory and mobility social impacts to mobility poverty. The output of this study is an initial design of a mobility-focused sustainable consumption corridor with suggested themes and indicators to measure the relative performance of a region in relation to the material dimensions of the corridor accompanied by a discussion surrounding spatial, temporal and sectoral corridor-defining thresholds. This work provides a novel first step in the direction of sector-based sustainable consumption corridors which can aid in providing a transformational alternative to the status quo through the implementation of safe and just sectors.

Non-technical summary Tropical deforestation continues apace despite a proliferation of commitments made by companies and governments to control it. Halting and reversing deforestation requires multiple, complementary interventions by state and non-state actors at different scales. We argue that the order in which these instruments and actors are introduced into the policy mix matters. Sequences of interventions from case studies in Latin America show that government commitment is a critical first step, implemented through command-and-control measures and then incentives. Combined with REDD+, they create an enabling environment for supply chain initiatives. A more coordinated and deliberate polycentric governance is needed to achieve zero-deforestation. Technical summary Avoided deforestation provides a natural climate solution for reducing emissions while generating co-benefits for people and nature. However, unleashing this potential requires improved governance. Diverse coalitions of actors are designing interventions to protect forests, each with different motivations and specialization of strategies. We introduce a policy sequencing framework to advance our understanding of how to improve polycentric zero-deforestation governance. Focusing on commodity production in Costa Rica, Brazil, and Colombia, we reconstructed the policy mix of zero-deforestation interventions across three domains – domestic public policies, REDD+, and supply chain initiatives. We classified interventions according to their instrument mechanism – disincentives, incentives, enabling measures – and when they were introduced into the policy mix. We found a sequence of interventions that reflects stages of forest cover dynamics, but also depends on local political will and institutional capacity. Government command-and-control measures are needed early in the policy sequence to slow deforestation, with incentives added to increase legal compliance. REDD+ helps governments build an enabling environment that supports supply chain initiatives seeking to increase forest cover at later stages of the sequence. Policy sequencing and policyscape concepts advance the design of more deliberate polycentric forest governance that enhances actor coordination and instrument synergies in the policy mix. Social media summary How do we stop deforestation? The policy options are well-known, but the order in which they are introduced matters.
非技术性摘要尽管公司和政府为控制热带森林砍伐做出了大量承诺,但热带森林砍伐仍在快速发展。停止和扭转森林砍伐需要国家和非国家行为者在不同规模上采取多种互补的干预措施。我们认为,将这些工具和行为者纳入政策组合的顺序很重要。拉丁美洲案例研究的一系列干预措施表明,政府承诺是关键的第一步,通过指挥和控制措施,然后是激励措施来实施。与REDD+相结合,它们为供应链倡议创造了有利的环境。为了实现零森林砍伐,需要一个更加协调和深思熟虑的多中心治理。技术摘要避免砍伐森林为减少排放提供了一种自然气候解决方案,同时为人类和自然带来共同利益。然而,释放这种潜力需要改进治理。不同的行动者联盟正在设计保护森林的干预措施,每种干预措施都有不同的动机和专门的战略。我们引入了一个政策排序框架,以加深我们对如何改善多中心零毁林治理的理解。以哥斯达黎加、巴西和哥伦比亚的商品生产为重点,我们重建了三个领域的零毁林干预政策组合——国内公共政策、REDD+和供应链倡议。我们根据干预措施的工具机制——抑制措施、激励措施、扶持措施——以及何时将其引入政策组合进行了分类。我们发现一系列干预措施反映了森林覆盖动态的阶段,但也取决于当地的政治意愿和机构能力。政府需要在政策序列的早期采取指挥和控制措施,以减缓森林砍伐,并增加激励措施,以提高法律合规性。REDD+有助于各国政府建立一个有利的环境,支持供应链倡议,以期在后续阶段增加森林覆盖率。政策排序和政策景观概念推动了更深思熟虑的多中心森林治理的设计,从而增强了政策组合中的行动者协调和工具协同作用。社交媒体摘要我们如何阻止森林砍伐?政策选择是众所周知的,但它们的引入顺序很重要。

The geopolitics of negative emissions technologies: learning lessons from REDD+ and renewable energy for afforestation, BECCS, and direct air capture 负排放技术的地缘政治:从REDD+和可再生能源造林、BECCS和直接空气捕获中吸取教训
IF 5.5 Q1 Environmental Science Pub Date : 2021-10-21 DOI: 10.1017/sus.2021.24
J. Kreuter, Markus Lederer
Non-technical summary Negative emissions technologies (NETs) have received increasing interest in recent years as a potential part of a portfolio of measures to address anthropogenic climate change, in particular following the 2015 UN Framework Convention on Climate Change Paris Agreement and the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report ‘Global Warming of 1.5 °C’. This increasing significance for global climate policy is faced with a multitude of open questions regarding, among others, the geopolitical implications of large-scale use of NETs. This paper outlines what we can learn for the possible geopolitical futures of NETs from existing international ‘green’ approaches. Technical summary We contribute to assessing political implications of NET scenarios, addressing the following question: What are potential geopolitical challenges, conflicts, and consequences of a large-scale deployment of three NETs, namely afforestation, bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), and direct air capture and carbon storage (DACCS)? We turn to the two cases of renewable energies and reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation for answers. We find that, first, not only afforestation, but also BECCS and even DACCS would have a geopolitical impact due to their requirements of territory – in the latter two cases, for instance, due to requirements for appropriate carbon storage space. Second, the material requirements of various NETs might also impact geopolitical constellations and induce conflict, providing certain countries and regions of the world with new leverage in the case of large-scale deployment, for instance those which can provide raw materials for fertilizer (for afforestation and BECCS) or energy generation (for DACCS). Third, discursive construction of space and identity might lead to very interesting new patterns of contestation, for instance if specific nation-states can successfully construct an identity of front-running climate protectors and use this to put pressure on other states. Social media summary What might be geopolitical implications of using NETs on a large scale to counteract anthropogenic climate change?
近年来,负排放技术作为应对人为气候变化的一系列措施的潜在组成部分,特别是在2015年《联合国气候变化框架公约》《巴黎协定》和2018年政府间气候变化专门委员会特别报告《全球变暖1.5°C》之后,受到了越来越多的关注。这种对全球气候政策日益重要的意义面临着许多悬而未决的问题,其中包括大规模使用网络的地缘政治影响。本文概述了我们可以从现有的国际“绿色”方法中学到的网络可能的地缘政治未来。我们致力于评估净能源情景的政治影响,解决以下问题:大规模部署三种净能源,即造林、生物能源与碳捕集与封存(BECCS)和直接空气捕集与碳封存(DACCS),潜在的地缘政治挑战、冲突和后果是什么?我们转向可再生能源和减少森林砍伐和森林退化造成的排放这两个案例来寻求答案。我们发现,首先,不仅是植树造林,BECCS甚至DACCS也会由于其对领土的要求而产生地缘政治影响——例如后两种情况下,由于对适当的碳储存空间的要求。其次,各种网络的材料需求也可能影响地缘政治星座并引发冲突,在大规模部署的情况下,为世界上某些国家和地区提供新的杠杆,例如那些可以为肥料(用于造林和BECCS)或能源生产(用于DACCS)提供原材料的国家和地区。第三,空间和身份的话语建构可能会导致非常有趣的新争论模式,例如,如果特定的民族国家能够成功地构建一个领先的气候保护者的身份,并利用它向其他国家施加压力。大规模使用网络来对抗人为气候变化的地缘政治影响是什么?

Non-technical summary We summarize some of the past year's most important findings within climate change-related research. New research has improved our understanding about the remaining options to achieve the Paris Agreement goals, through overcoming political barriers to carbon pricing, taking into account non-CO2 factors, a well-designed implementation of demand-side and nature-based solutions, resilience building of ecosystems and the recognition that climate change mitigation costs can be justified by benefits to the health of humans and nature alone. We consider new insights about what to expect if we fail to include a new dimension of fire extremes and the prospect of cascading climate tipping elements. Technical summary A synthesis is made of 10 topics within climate research, where there have been significant advances since January 2020. The insights are based on input from an international open call with broad disciplinary scope. Findings include: (1) the options to still keep global warming below 1.5 °C; (2) the impact of non-CO2 factors in global warming; (3) a new dimension of fire extremes forced by climate change; (4) the increasing pressure on interconnected climate tipping elements; (5) the dimensions of climate justice; (6) political challenges impeding the effectiveness of carbon pricing; (7) demand-side solutions as vehicles of climate mitigation; (8) the potentials and caveats of nature-based solutions; (9) how building resilience of marine ecosystems is possible; and (10) that the costs of climate change mitigation policies can be more than justified by the benefits to the health of humans and nature. Social media summary How do we limit global warming to 1.5 °C and why is it crucial? See highlights of latest climate science.
非技术性总结我们总结了去年气候变化相关研究中一些最重要的发现。新的研究通过克服碳定价的政治障碍,考虑到非二氧化碳因素,精心设计实施需求侧和基于自然的解决方案,提高了我们对实现《巴黎协定》目标的剩余选择的理解,生态系统的复原力建设,以及认识到缓解气候变化的成本可以通过对人类和自然健康的益处来证明。如果我们不包括极端火灾的新维度和级联气候临界因素的前景,我们会考虑新的见解。技术摘要综合了气候研究中的10个主题,自2020年1月以来,这些主题取得了重大进展。这些见解是基于一个具有广泛学科范围的国际公开电话会议的意见。研究结果包括:(1)将全球变暖控制在1.5°C以下的选择;(2) 非二氧化碳因素对全球变暖的影响;(3) 气候变化导致的极端火灾的新层面;(4) 相互关联的气候临界因素面临的压力越来越大;(5) 气候正义的层面;(6) 阻碍碳定价有效性的政治挑战;(7) 需求方解决方案作为减缓气候变化的工具;(8) 基于自然的解决方案的潜力和注意事项;(9) 如何建设海洋生态系统的复原力;以及(10)减缓气候变化政策的成本可以通过对人类和自然健康的益处来证明。社交媒体摘要我们如何将全球变暖限制在1.5°C,为什么它至关重要?查看最新气候科学的亮点。
