Mitigation potentials for emissions of nitrous oxide from chemical industry in industrialised countries world-wide

This study investigates mitigation potentials in industrialised countries for emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) from chemical industry, in particular from the production processes for nitric acid, adipic acid and caprolactam. The study was launched by the Secretariat of the Nitric

Fit for purpose? Key issues for the first review of CORSIA

This paper aims to contribute to the forthcoming review of CORSIA by identifying key issues that should be addressed in relevant ICAO decision making bodies. As the discussion on a potential long-term goal for international aviation is closely interlinked with the review of CORSIA, the paper discuss

Averaging or multi-year accounting? Environmental integrity implications for using international carbon markets in the context of single-year targets

Under the Paris Agreement, most countries have communicated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with mitigation targets for a single year. Single-year targets present considerable challenges when countries use international carbon markets to achieve their NDCs. This paper assesses the environ

The potential impact of transitioning CDM units and activities to the Paris Agreement

This presentation includes updated research by NewClimate Institute and Öko-Institut on the potential transition of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to the Paris Agreement, as discussed by Parties under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The presentation includes estimates of the supply of carb

Implications for environmental integrity of carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement

Averaging or multi-year accounting?

Single-year targets present considerable challenges if countries use international carbon markets to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. This paper assesses the environmental integrity implications of the two main options – averaging and multi-year a

CDM supply potential for emission reductions up to the end of 2020

The transition of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) issued under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for use by Parties towards their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) is a key outstanding issue for Article 6 negotiations at the UNFCCC. To inform the ongoing negotiations, we set out es
