Review of Environment, Energy and Economics - Re3, 2015

Abstract: Voluntary CO2 emission cuts announced so far by States are not enough to stay on target and avoid trespassing the 2° threshold: 13 gigatons carbon dioxide equivalent are missing to bridge the distance. Can the energy sector alone carry this burden? Better land management and degraded lands recovery could contribute one fourth of the gap, in a cost effective way and with extremely consistent mitigation and adaptation co-benefits.
