A Green Economy Model for India: Technical Summary of Methods and Data Used

GEM Technical Papers |
2022
| India

The green economy model for India is a system dynamics model that has been customized to the national context in the structure of the model and input data. It also takes into account the key priorities for the country, incorporating primary and allied sectors affecting climate change at the national level.

Unlocking the Inclusive Growth Story of the 21st Century: Accelerating Climate Action in Urgent Times

Working Papers |
2019
| Global

Prepared by Cambridge Econometrics (CE) with feedback from the New Climate Economy (NCE) team, this draft note summarises methodological aspects, modelled scenarios and macroeconomic results to provide empirical inputs to the NCE 2018 Global Commission Report. The aim of the modelling exercise was to illustrate examples of policies that can simultaneously promote economic growth and reduce the risks of climate change.

Estimates of Emissions Reduction Potential for the 2015 Report

GEM Technical Papers |
2015
| Global

This technical note sets out the analysis underpinning the emission reduction recommendations of the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate’s 2015 report. It explains baseline scenarios and the estimate of the emissions required for a 2C pathway.

Quantifying the Multiple Benefits from Low-Carbon Actions in a Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Curve Framework

GEM Technical Papers |
2015
| Global

This paper documents the assumptions and analysis that underlie the presentation and discussion of the exhibit on the Global GHG Abatement Benefit and Co-benefit Curve: 2030 in our 2014 Better Growth, Better Climate report. This analysis emphasises the importance of considering a fuller range of benefits of actions to reduce carbon emissions when comparing these with higher-carbon alternatives.

The Contribution of African Cities to the Economy and Climate

Working Papers |
2015
| Global

This paper provides population, GDP and carbon emissions estimates up to 2030 for 69 cities across 35 countries in sub-Saharan Africa for which data is available. The analysis has been undertaken using the Oxford Economics’ Global Cities 2030 database (covering 750 cities) and other published data.

Emissions Reduction Potential

GEM Technical Papers |
2014
| Global

The New Climate Economy project has estimated the extent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions that could result by 2030 from undertaking some of the measures and actions discussed in our 2014 annual report Better Growth, Better Climate. We estimate the potential emission reductions of undertaking these measures that would narrow the gap between a baseline emissions pathway and one compatible with a two-thirds chance of keeping global average warming below 2°C by at least 50% in 2030

Infrastructure Investment Needs of a Low-Carbon Scenario

Working Papers |
2014
| Global

This note describes the Commission’s assessment of future infrastructure investment needs. It presents projections for a baseline scenario, and the estimated incremental investment required for a low-carbon scenario. It sets out the sources used and provides an overview of the estimates and modelling undertaken by the New Climate Economy (NCE) network.
