The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation options.

IPCC 6th assessment report: Mitigation of Climate Change (2021)

IPCC is currently preparing its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6). Professor Anders Hammer Strømman is lead author of chapter 10 “Transport”. This report is expected to be released on 2021.

IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land (2019)

This IPCC Special Report is the second Special Report to be produced in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Cycle (AR6).

Professor Francesco Cherubini contributed as lead author on Chapter 6 “Interlinkages between desertification, land degradation, food security and GHG fluxes: synergies, trade-offs and integrated response options”. The chapter discusses implications for Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP), including biodiversity and water, and sustainable development, by assessing intersections with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The chapter also assesses response options that could be used to address these challenges. 
 

IPCC 5th assessment report: Mitigation of Climate Change (2014)

This is the third part of the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of IPCC. The volume provides a comprehensive and transparent assessment of relevant options for mitigating climate change through limiting or preventing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well as activities that reduce their concentrations in the atmosphere. 

Professor Edgar Hertwich was a lead author of chapter 7 “Energy systems” and the methods annex. The energy systems chapter addresses issues related to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from the energy supply sector. The energy supply sector comprises all energy extraction, conversion, storage, transmission, and distribution processes that deliver final energy to the end-use sectors.

Professor Daniel Müller was lead author of chapter 12 “Human Settlements, Infrastructure and Spatial Planning”. This chapter addresses the shift from more rural to more urban societies and how to mitigate the consequences for greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
