EU Horizon 2020 project - Assessing Sectoral Perspectives on Climate Transitions to support the Global Stocktake and subsequent NDCs
Decarbonisation of transport, metals, and other major sectors is heavily reliant on clean electricity and the expansion of the power grid. However, uncertainty in the global petroleum regime can have a significant bearing on South Africa’s GHG emissions in 2035
November 28, 2024 at 3:39 PM
Current indications are that 2035 emissions need to dip under 300 Mt CO2eq/a to reach net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050, though this still depends on an acceleration of emissions reductions post-2045, relying on global support to access newer technologies.

🇿🇦South Africa’s economy remains highly reliant on coal for energy, primarily in electricity generation, synthetic liquid fuels production, and industry.
But what are the key short term actions to put the country on track to reach its climate goals?

⚡️India has already raised its renewable energy targets and will need to continue to do so. Emissions will need to be reduced in the industry and transport sectors.
However, buildings' emissions may increase in 2030 as power infrastructure is expanded throughout the country.

🏭What 2030 emission levels are compatible with the country’s carbon neutrality objective?
India’s CO2 intensity of GDP is around 45-55% of its GDP and will meet its second NDC target by 2030. The CO2 intensity will need to drop from 900g CO2/kWh in 2020 to 500g CO2/kWh in 2030.

🇮🇳India is the world’s most populous country, third largest country in terms of GDP by purchasing power parity and the fifth largest economy by GDP (nominal). But what are the key actions to put the country on track to reach its climate goals?

In contrast to mitigation efforts until today that focused on energy supply, the most significant cuts in emissions this decade are needed in buildings and transport.
Key actions:
- Electrification of demand sectors
- Greening the remaining fuel mix
- Abate remaining emissions
November 21, 2024 at 2:44 PM
To reach the 2030 NDC climate target – reducing the net GHG emissions by 55% from 1990 levels – the
pace of emission reductions will need to pick up and almost triple the average annual reduction achieved
over the last decade.

🌳Forests-based measures are promising mitigation options, yet their potentials are often limited by economic and biophysical factors.
🔖A new study led by Théo Rouhette used #GCAM to quantify the economic mitigation potential of these measures.

🏭 Decarbonising energy-intensive industries is tough!

🌐 How can global governance help address this and how can we mobilise underexploited potentials?

Building sector is often considered hard to abate globally, among other reasons, due to the variety of decarbonisation strategies among countries.

A new NDC ASPECTS policy brief sheds light on these strategies and suggests options to enhance them.

The #GlobalStocktake was seen as an opportunity for course correction in the Paris Agreement process.
A new report by @ndcaspects.bsky.social examines the Stocktake's potential in promoting sectoral transitions and whether the actual outcome of the Stocktake realised this potential.

📌Climate clubs are solutions for climate governance, recently gaining traction with the launch of a Climate Club on industrial decarbonisation in COP 28.
❓But what can these clubs do during geopolitical rivalry and industrial policy nationalism?
