One of the last outputs of NDC ASPECTS is a collection of 20 short reports or "fiches" on the transition pathways of major emitters and countries that can play a key role on the transformation of buildings, industries, transport, and AFOLU. Learn more: ndc-aspects.eu/news-events/...

🌳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. Learn more: doi.org/10.1088/1748...

A new Policy Brief by Hilton Trollip (IDDRI), Nicolas Berghmans (IDDRI), and Gauri Khandekar (VUB) suggests that green iron imports rooted in comparative advantages of different geographies can be technically achievable and economically sound. Learn more: ndc-aspects.eu/news-events/...

A key reason behind the buildings sector’s persistently high emissions is its diversity and complexity. This Policy Brief by Faidra Filippidou (E3Modelling) attempts to identify viable socio-technical strategies for the sector's transformation. ndc-aspects.eu/news-events/...

Private motorized road mobility accounts for about 45% of transport emissions. A Policy Brief by Isheeka Dasgupta (DLR) and Yann Briand (IDDRI) proposes that going lighter and smaller is one of our best bets to satisfy mobility needs and reduce emissions. ndc-aspects.eu/news-events/...

🚨New @ndcaspects.bsky.social paper!🚨 👇

Transforming the transport sector is crucial for achieving the Paris Agreement and the Breakthrough on Road Transport is supposed to speed it up. A new @ndcaspects.bsky.social policy brief by provides recommendations on how the Breakthrough could be strengthened

In anticipation of @COP28_UAE: At Glasgow, many countries launched the Breakthrough on Road Transport. However more progress is needed to drive the transition to #ZeroEnergyVehicles. A new policy brief by Catherine Hall provides key recommendations! www.ndc-aspects.eu/news-events/...

NDC ASPECTS will contribute to the global discussions at COP28 by co-organising 2 side-events!
