A novel maximum entropy approach to hybrid monetary-physical supply-chain modelling and its application to biodiversity impacts of palm oil embodied in consumption
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The environmental and social consequences of clearing tropical forests for palm oil and soybean monoculture have been analyzed in a number of studies and are widely recognized. Some initiatives and studies have examined ... -
Air quality and health implications of 1.5 °c-2 °c climate pathways under considerations of ageing population: A multi-model scenario analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
Carbon footprints of 13,000 cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Connecting global emissions to fundamental human needs and their satisfaction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)While quality of life (QOL) is the result of satisfying human needs, our current provision strategies result in global environmental degradation. To ensure sustainable QOL, we need to understand the environmental impact ... -
Consumption-based view on national and regional per capita carbon footprint trajectories and planetary pressures-adjusted human development
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Current national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounts and mitigation targets are mostly based on territorial GHG accounting. While several analyses present future trajectories describing how nations could achieve emissions ... -
Do not be misled on the energy crisis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)False narratives cloud our understanding of Europe's energy crisis and its relationship to climate change and climate policy. A clear-eyed understanding, based on factual knowledge and the insights of scientific research ... -
Domestic and international aviation emission inventories for the UNFCCC parties
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Global aviation emissions have been growing despite international efforts to limit climate change. Quantifying the status quo of domestic and international aviation emissions is necessary for establishing an understanding ... -
Drivers of change in US residential energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, 1990-2015
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential energy use in the United States peaked in 2005 at 1.26 Gt CO2-eq yr−1, and have since decreased at an average annual rate of 2% yr−1 to 0.96 Gt CO2-eq yr−1 in 2019. ... -
The driving forces behind the change in energy consumption in developing countries
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Economic growth is principally powered by energy fuels. While the potential energy transition pathways in developed countries are clear, they have not been well explored for developing countries. Here, we study the average ... -
Energy potentials and water requirements from perennial grasses on abandoned land in the former Soviet Union
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)A ramp-up of bioenergy supply is vital in most climate change mitigation scenarios. Using abandoned land to produce perennial grasses is a promising option for near-term bioenergy deployment with minimal trade-offs to food ... -
Environmental impacts of high penetration renewable energy scenarios for Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)The prospect of irreversible environmental alterations and an increasingly volatile climate pressurises societies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby mitigating climate change impacts. As global electricity demand ... -
Environmental implications of large-scale adoption of wind power: a scenario-based life cycle assessment
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)We investigate the potential environmental impacts of a large-scale adoption of wind power to meet up to 22% of the world's growing electricity demand. The analysis builds on life cycle assessments of generic onshore and ... -
Global climate impacts of forest bioenergy: what, when and how to measure?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Environmental impact studies of forest bioenergy systems usually account for CO2 emissions and removals and identify the so-called carbon debt of bioenergy through comparison with a reference system. This approach is based ... -
Global climate targets and future consumption level: an evaluation of the required GHG intensity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Discussion and analysis on international climate policy often focuses on the rather abstract level of total national and regional greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At some point, however, emission reductions need to be ... -
Health benefits, ecological threats of low-carbon electricity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Stabilizing global temperature will require a shift to renewable or nuclear power from fossil power and the large-scale deployment of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) for remaining fossil fuel use. Non-climate co-benefits of ... -
Mapping the carbon footprint of EU regions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)While the EU Commission has encouraged Member States to combine national and international climate change mitigation measures with subnational environmental policies, there has been little harmonized effort towards the ... -
Quantifying the climate response to extreme land cover changes in Europe with a regional model
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Many future scenarios expect a key role for the land use sector to stabilize temperature rise to 2 °C or less. Changes in land cover can influence the climate system, and the extent and magnitude of the anthropogenic ... -
Shared mobility and lifestyles as mechanisms to reduce environmental impacts from passenger transportation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Despite the deployment of low- or zero-emission technologies, achieving emissions reductions in the passenger transportation sector remains challenging. Demand-side mechanisms can be instrumental in reducing environmental ... -
Shifting economic activity to services has limited potential to reduce global environmental impacts due to the household consumption of labour
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The tertiary (or 'service') sector is commonly identified as a relatively clean part of the economy. Accordingly, sustainable development policy routinely invokes 'tertiarization'—a shift from primary and secondary sectors ... -
Simulation of the dipole pattern of summer precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau by CMIP6 models
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The dipole pattern of summer precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during 1961–2014 is evaluated based on observations and 18 models provided by the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6. Of the 18 models, ...
