Impact of Methane and Black Carbon Mitigation on Forcing and Temperature: A Multi-model Scenario Analysisand BC mitigation, the two major short-lived climate forcers. Central estimates of temperature reductions in 2040 from an idealized scenario focused on reductions in methane and black carbon emissions ranged from 0.18–0.26 °C across the nine participating models. Reductions in metha...

Taking Some Heat Off the NDCs? The Limited Potential of Additional Short-lived Climate Forcers’ MitigationSeveral studies have shown that the greenhouse gas reduction resulting from the current nationally determined contributions (NDCs) will not be enough to meet the overall targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. It has been suggested that more ambition mitigations of short-lived climat...

The Role of Methane in Future Climate Strategies: Mitigation Potentials and Climate Impacts) emissions in deep mitigation scenarios generated by integrated assessment models...4 emission reduction strategies, as well as resulting climate impacts. The models’ projected reduction potentials are compared to sector and technology-specific reduction potentials found in literature.
