Yann Briand is invited to participate to a panel discussion around "Is “system transitions” consistent with 1.5℃ Global Warming possible?". This will be the opportunity to give more details about the passenger and freight scenarios currently in development in the Mobility Decarbonization Pathways project (DDP Transport).
Organiser: Institute for global environmental strategies (IGES)
In October 2018, the Summary for Policymakers of “an IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5℃ above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty” was accepted by the 48th Session of the IPCC. This Summary for Policymakers states in C2 that “Pathways limiting global warming to 1.5℃ with no or limited overshoot would require rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban and infrastructure (including transport and buildings), and industrial systems”, with high confidence. This side-event will have a keynote speech on the special report on global warming of 1.5℃ followed by brief introductions of on-going transition research and actions in various fields, and discuss the stated “system transitions” are possible.
