Modelling 1.5°C-compliant mitigation scenarios without carbon dioxide removal

In Modelling 1.5°C-Compliant Mitigation Scenarios without Carbon Dioxide Removal, Christian Holz of Carleton University, Ottawa, and the Carbon Equity Reference Project (CERP) reviews recent studies that demonstrate that it is still possible to achieve 1.5°C without relying on speculative and potentially deleterious technologies. This can be done if national climate pledges are increased substantially in all countries immediately, international support for climate action in developing countries is scaled up, and mitigation options not commonly included in mainstream climate models are pursued.
