European energy efficiency and decarbonization strategies beyond 2030 : a sectoral multi-model decomposition

Förster, Hannah; Schumacher, Katja; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014

Energy efficiency and decarbonization are important elements of climate change mitigation. We draw on European mitigation scenarios from the EMF28 modeling exercise to decompose economy-wide and sectoral emissions into their main components. We utilize the Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI)...

Carbon Accounting by Public and Private Financial Institutions : Can We Be Sure Climate Finance Is Leading to Emissions Reductions?

Spittle, Emily; Dietrich Brauch, Martin - 2021

As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...
