The document discusses distributing global CO2 emission reductions among high emitters based on an individual's emissions rather than a country's overall emissions. It finds that approximately 1 billion high emitters would need to reduce emissions to meet a global target of 30 GtCO2 by 2030. This group is equally distributed among individuals in the US, rest of OECD, China, and rest of the non-OECD. The energy needs of the poorest 2.7 billion people could be met with a small impact on climate mitigation goals if they are allowed to increase emissions to 1 tCO2/capita/year.
CAMBRIDGE AS GEOGRAPHY REVISION: POPULATION - 4.4 THE MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL I...George Dumitrache
Population policies aim to influence population size, growth, distribution or composition through incentives or deterrents. China has operated the strictest population control policy since 1979 through its one-child policy, which aims to control natural increase. The one-child policy has been most effective in urban areas and has significantly reduced China's population growth, preventing over 300 million births. However, it has also led to negative social consequences like an aging population and skewed sex ratios with more boys than girls. While some praise its role in China's economic growth, many see it as a violation of civil liberties.
Thomas Malthus published his influential theory of population growth in 1798, proposing that human populations grow geometrically while the food supply grows arithmetically, inevitably leading to famine unless checks on population occur. Malthus suggested "positive checks" like famine and disease and "negative checks" like delayed marriage that reduce birth rates. While controversial, his theory inspired Darwin's concept of the struggle for survival and examined the relationship between population and resources. Malthusian catastrophe predicts population will be forced to return to subsistence levels once it outstrips agricultural production. His theory remains debated but influenced later thinkers exploring limits to economic and population growth.
The document discusses the population theories of Thomas Malthus and Esther Boserup. Malthus believed population would grow exponentially while food production grew arithmetically, eventually leading to famine. Boserup argued population growth would stimulate agricultural and technological advances to increase food supply. The document applies each theory to Uganda, with disease and poverty supporting Malthus, and to China, where prosperity contradicts Malthus but aligns with Boserup's view of technological responses to growth. Both theories may be correct depending on a population's ability to overcome limits through advancement.
Thomas Malthus theorized that population grows exponentially while food production grows arithmetically, leading to periodic catastrophes from famine and disease. He argued this would keep population in check. The Club of Rome warned that at current growth rates, limits to growth from resource depletion would be reached within 100 years. Esther Boserup argued that population growth spurs technological innovation and higher agricultural productivity, increasing food supply. While their theories differ, all raised important issues around sustainability and limits to growth that remain relevant today.
1. Early humans were hunter-gatherers but began transitioning to sedentary agriculture and permanent settlements starting 10,000 years ago in places like Catal Huyuk in Turkey and Jericho in Jordan.
2. The development of cities and civilizations was driven by favorable conditions for domesticating plants and animals. This led to more complex societies with specialized labor.
3. The Industrial Revolution in Britain in the late 1700s increased urbanization as manufacturing grew and people migrated to cities for work, leading to population booms and the rise of the first industrial cities like Manchester.

The document outlines key steps and opportunities towards a successful outcome for the first Global Stocktake under the Paris Agreement, including significant emissions gaps that need to be closed, momentum building from ongoing negotiations and initiatives, the need for collaboration on climate action, and desired outcomes from the stocktake including an honest assessment of gaps, indications on closing them, and a pathway to do so together.
The Paris Protocol. Global climate change (Comisión europea) Lecturas recomen...Ecologistas en Accion
This document discusses actions needed to limit global warming to below 2 degrees Celsius. It finds that without more ambitious global action, emissions will exceed levels consistent with the 2 degree target. The European Union has committed to reducing emissions 40% by 2030, but greater reductions are required from other countries. Modeling shows that if all countries take ambitious but differentiated action, with less stringent targets for developing nations, the global temperature increase can likely be kept below 2 degrees while still allowing economic growth.
SMART2020: ICT & Climate Change. Opportunities or Threat? Chris Tuppen, BTcatherinewall
This is Chris Tuppen\'s presentation at the it@cork Green IT - Reduce CO2 Raise Profits Conference on Nov 26, 2008. Chris is the Director of Sustainable Development for BT
The document outlines the potential inputs, outputs, and outcomes of the Mitigation Work Programme (MWP). It summarizes that the MWP aims to urgently scale up mitigation ambitions and implementation this decade. Initial dialogues would focus on transforming energy systems by accelerating renewables deployment and enhancing energy efficiency. The MWP's inputs would include party submissions and IPCC reports, while its outputs could include recommendations to close emissions gaps and standard setting for low-carbon industries. If successful, the MWP's outcomes may include phasing out coal, deploying renewables at scale, and adequately preparing parties to implement strengthened NDCs aligned with 1.5°C.
This document discusses transparency requirements for reporting on cooperative approaches to climate change mitigation under the Paris Agreement. It addresses key questions around the purpose of reporting tables and how they can best serve to track progress toward nationally determined contributions (NDCs). Specifically, it examines challenges around tracking the origin and ownership of emissions reductions from mechanisms like carbon trading between countries, emissions trading systems, and offsets. The document suggests reporting should provide quantitative and detailed information on emissions reductions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent to understand their accuracy, completeness and comparability. It also notes domestic arrangements are needed to inform international decisions on recording and attributing reductions from different activities to specific countries or parties.
This document discusses the need for urgent action to address climate change through reducing carbon emissions. It highlights the potential for information and communication technologies (ICT) to enable major emissions reductions across different sectors of the economy by optimizing efficiency. ICT can standardize, monitor, and provide accountability for energy consumption data to rethink how society functions in a low-carbon way through smart systems, buildings, transportation, and more. Urgent transformation of society is needed to stabilize the climate through massive CO2 reductions by 2025 and 2050.
Ericsson Mobility Report, November 2015 - ICT and the low carbon economyEricsson
The November 2015 edition of the Mobility Report provides updated trends and forecasts for mobile data traffic. From the addition of 87 million new mobile broadband subscriptions in Q3 2015 to the estimate that video will account for 70 percent of total mobile traffic by 2021.
The document discusses greenhouse gas emissions from different industrial sectors including coal, oil, gas, cement, and gas flaring. It analyzes how consumption and production affect carbon footprints differently across countries and how variations in these factors should influence each country's climate solutions. The document also presents data on total and per capita CO2 emissions from global cement production in 2020, findings from the data, and challenges in working with an incomplete dataset.
The climate impact of ICT: A review of estimates, trends and regulations (ISM...Adrian Friday
We examine peer-reviewed studies which estimate ICT's current share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be 1.8-2.8% of global GHG emissions. Our findings indicate that published estimates all underestimate the carbon footprint of ICT, possibly by as much as 25%, by failing to account for all of ICT's supply chains and full lifecycle (i.e. emissions scopes 1, 2 and fully inclusive 3). Adjusting for truncation of supply chain pathways, we estimate that ICT's share of emissions could actually be as high as 2.1-3.9%. We explore the argument for and against the role of efficiency gains and green energy in offsetting ICTs global carbon footprint. Whatever assumptions analysts take, they agree that ICT will not reduce its emissions without a major concerted effort involving broad political and industrial action. We provide three reasons to believe ICT emissions are going to increase barring a targeted intervention. We make specific recommendations and pose a set of challenges for those using heavy computation in their research.

The document discusses moving beyond scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions to address scope 3 emissions from procurement and supply chains. It provides examples of measuring procurement emissions at De Montfort University. Presenters discuss the importance of scope 3 emissions, policy drivers to address them, and challenges of engaging stakeholders and collecting data from outside the estates office. Next steps include determining data needs, communication strategies, and overcoming barriers to addressing scope 3 emissions organizationally.
The document analyzes 13 opportunities for wireless telecommunications to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs in the EU by 2020. It finds that these opportunities could reduce emissions by 113 million tonnes of CO2e and save €43 billion in energy costs annually through 1 billion new mobile connections, mainly for machine-to-machine applications. The largest opportunities are in smart grid and smart logistics. Incentives like carbon pricing and investment are needed to realize these opportunities.
The document summarizes the evolution of international accords and agreements around reducing carbon emissions, including the UNFCCC, Kyoto Protocol, and Copenhagen Accord. It discusses goals and mechanisms of these agreements, such as emissions targets and market-based mechanisms. It also provides context on current atmospheric CO2 levels, global emissions, and the potential consequences of failure to reduce emissions.
Deep decarbonisation of Ireland's energy systemIEA-ETSAP
This document summarizes research on deep decarbonization of Ireland's energy system. It finds that achieving net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 will require dramatic reductions in all sectors by that date, with electricity generation shifting to negative emissions to compensate for residual emissions. A carbon budget of 638 million tons of CO2 from 2020-2070 is consistent with a 66% chance of limiting warming to 2°C. This will require doubling electricity usage, powered by increased electrification, bioenergy and other renewable fuels. Technology cost assumptions for residential heating/cooling and transport vehicles through 2050 are also provided.

The guidebook aims to support both experienced and new local authorities in developing effective local climate action plans.
Karl Letten, Paul Brockway, and Dr. Richard Bull from De Montfort University and Arup presented on moving beyond scope 1 and 2 emissions to address scope 3 emissions. They discussed the importance of measuring procurement emissions, DMU's experience using a tool called PROCO2 to measure procurement emissions, and next steps in engaging stakeholders and measuring other scope 3 categories. Staff engagement provided feedback on improving the PROCO2 tool and highlighted barriers to addressing scope 3 emissions.
Strategies e Actions on Waste for Sustainable Cities - Atilio SalvinoHumanidade2012
This document discusses strategies and actions for sustainable waste management in cities. It notes that waste generation is projected to greatly increase by 2025, especially in developing countries and megacities. Megacities face challenges from their large scale and vulnerability to natural disasters. Adaptation to climate change impacts is an underestimated challenge for megacities. The document also discusses mitigation strategies like those in the EU, which have significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions from waste. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are presented as a way to support mitigation in developing countries through financing, technology, and capacity building. The document proposes that ISWA could help identify, develop, and implement waste sector NAMAs to facilitate climate change

It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

• Based on cumulative historical contribution to climate change?
• Or perhaps on future contribution to the climate problem?
• Based on the reduction potentials (geography, climate)?
• Based on national per capita greenhouse gas emissions?
• Based on the emissions of the individuals in a country?

- Large empirical literature based (Lenzen, Peters,
Serrano, Hereenden etc.) points to strong relation
between energy/emissions and income
– Elasticities from surveys 0.8/1
– Panel from data in this paper 0.72
- Use income distribution data from WB and UN to
derive the global distribution of emissions

6. Building Carbon Emission Distribution
• We fit income/consumption distributions using the sum of two Gamma
pdfs on quintiles or deciles data at the country level.
• We rescale them to match their nation per capita GDP (in PPP) of 2003.
• Assuming income and emissions are related by a power law, we translate
them into emission distributions, ensuring that the averages match the
national emission inventories.
We attribute all production-based national emissions to their individuals on
the basis of their income. That is, we assume that the emissions generated
by government consumption and the investments in the economy are
attributed to individuals according to their income, in the same way those
deriving directly or indirectly from consumption. The scheme ignores
emissions embedded in inter-regional trade.`

• Climate and poverty agenda
• Allow carbon poor to raise their emissions to 1 tCO2/cap*yr
• What does 1 tCO2/person/yr mean
– Electricity: 800 kWh coal-fired power;
– Transport: 65km/day;
– Cooking: 14 kg LPG/month
– X 2 for indirect emissions

20. Conclusion
• Focus on individuals to determine national mitigation efforts
• Computing carbon emission distributions globally shows large
inequalities. Go beyond national averages.
• Assuming an individual capping policy, a global target of 30
GtCO2 in 2030 results in about 1 billion people having to
reduce emissions, equally found in the US, rest of OECD, China
and rest of non-OECD.
• The energy needs of the poorest 2.7 billion people can be
accommodated with a rather small impact on climate
mitigation
• In 2030, industrialized countries bear the highest mitigation
job, but China (and to less extend Russia and the Middle East)
are also held responsible.

32. Procedure for Projections
• Add country level distributions to obtain regional emissions
distributions
• Project forward to 2030 using EIA IEO 2007.
• Derive a universal individual cap from global target and timetable.
• Apply individual caps to regions/countries to obtain
regional/national targets.
