Sustainable Transitions to Net-zero and Beyond

Sustainable Transitions to Net-zero and Beyond

Achieving net-zero emissions is imperative for mitigating climate change and ensuring a sustainable future. This goal requires a profound and rapid transformation of our economic, environmental, and technological systems.

Our work

We focus on designing pathways to transition societies towards net-zero emissions and beyond. Our work involves using complex models to achieve both economic and environmental goals in a practical and comprehensive way. Our work defines the critical strategies for achieving climate stabilization. We create scenarios for reducing emissions that align with a broader sustainability agenda. This includes the adoption of low-carbon technologies, such as renewables, hydrogen, storage, and demand-side management. Additionally, our empirical research assesses the efficiency of climate policies globally and locally, aiming to provide insights that lead to more resilient societies.
