Cropland–based agricultural activities emit 34.13% of the total non-carbon dioxide emission in India as of 2007 and contribute 63% of the gross value added from agriculture as of 2014–15. It accounts for 24.17% of the India's total methane and 95.84% of the total nitrous oxide emission from agricultural sector. This article analyzes the change in n...

Background: To strengthen current discourse on acceleration and scale up of the emissions mitigation actions by sector specific demand side interventions, information on intersection of three dimensions becomes useful. First, what kind of actions help in avoiding, shifting and improving (ASI) demand for activities/services and resultant emissions s...

Food waste reduction at consumer end and balanced, sustainable healthy dietary choices featuring less meat and less processed food have clear climate change mitigation benefits. This paper synthesises the existing body of literature (2015–2022) following systematic evidence search and screening using Scopus database and Google Scholar to explore th...

Mitigation actions needed to achieve the ambitions of the Paris agreement to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 °C or below 2 °C have to align with sustainable development. In the near term, this implies a better understanding of context-specific challenges in integrating sustainability with climate policies during the designing, planning, implem...

This paper assesses four relevant climate actions in Indian agricultural sector through the lens of United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to understand how climate actions (SDG 13) are linked with other SDGs and their targets and what measures can be taken to scale up these actions. Four board categories of climate actions are consid...

Using the socio-ecological model of social and behavior change communication, our review highlights current trends in understanding message design factors and media technologies promoting proenvironment and climate mitigative behaviors. We explain that much of this research has focused on the individual level, and relatively few studies have been c...

This paper presents Modified Technology Innovation System (MTIS) approach applicable for developing countries. Using evidence of three decades 1992-2022 the paper shows how policy played a catalytic role in managing multidimensional low emission mobility transition in a developing country like Pakistan. This paper follows policy, network of actors,...

Implementing mitigation options through adoption of alternative practices entail cost. Methane emission from paddy/rice cultivation accounts for approximately one-fifth of India’s total methane emission. It occurs mainly due to flooded paddy cultivation practices which accounts for 30% of land under paddy cultivation in India. Several practices are...

The Summary for Urban Policymakers (SUP) series distils the IPCC reports into targeted summaries to inform action at the city and regional scale. This third volume in the series, What the Latest Science on Climate Change Mitigation Means for Cities and Urban Areas offers a concise and accessible distillation of the IPCC Working Group III Report for...

This Cross-Chapter Box highlights the intersecting issues of gender, climate change adaptation, climate justice and transformative pathways. A gender perspective does not centre only on women or men but examines structures, processes and relationships of power between and among groups of men and women and how gender, particularly in its non-binary...

This paper highlights the crucial enabling factors in menstrual hygiene management. The use of products depends on various factors such as access to water, privacy, social, cultural and econmic. Gender equality and women’s empowerment are integral parts of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Half of the world’s population are women, and women...

Climate change impacts are being felt across sectors in all regions of the world, and adaptation projects are being implemented to reduce climate risks and existing vulnerabilities. Climate adaptation actions also have significant synergies and tradeoffs with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 5 on gender equality. Questions ar...

The Working Group III (WG III) contribution to the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) assesses literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic and social aspects of mitigation of climate change. The report reflects new findings in the relevant literature and builds on previous IPCC reports, including the WG III contribution t...

This Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report provides a comprehensive and transparent assessment of the literature on climate change mitigation. The report assesses progress in climate change mitigation options for reducing emissions and enhancing sinks. With greenhouse gas emissions at the highest levels in human history...

Figure SPM.8: Synergies and trade-offs between sectoral and system mitigation options and the SDGs

In this paper, we present the results of a rapid review of the literature on gender and coastal climate adaptation. The IPCC’s 2019 Special Report on Oceans and Cryosphere (SROCC) highlighted some of the major ways in which gender inequality interacts with coastal climate change. However, the report does not consider how gender interacts with adapt...

Mitigation solutions are often evaluated in terms of costs and greenhouse gas reduction potentials, missing out on the consideration of direct effects on human well-being. Here, we systematically assess the mitigation potential of demand-side options categorized into avoid, shift and improve, and their human well-being links. We show that these opt...

This study evaluated a potential transition of India’s power sector to 100% wind and solar energy sources. Applying a macro-energy IDEEA (Indian Zero Carbon Energy Pathways) model to 32 regions and 114 locations of potential installation of wind energy and 60 locations of solar energy, we evaluated a 100% renewable power system in India as a concep...

In recent years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been collaborating with Indian institutions to organise outreach events. This essay draws on the perspective of participants, speakers and organisers of 17 in-person outreach events conducted across India in 2018 and 2020, to share insights and recommendations for future IPCC...

The twenty-first century economic growth agenda needs to be reframed to ensure that cleaner production and consumption processes—goal 12 of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—go hand in hand with pursuing dignified sustainable living for all (1). The impacts of COVID-19 have made the basic needs for human wellbeing even more c...

Many developing countries including Bangladesh and India will need fast growth through next two decades in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to meet basic aspirations for decent living standards for their people. This will mean increased need for energy resources. However, global carbon emission limits put additional constraints on these fast-growing co...

In international climate policy, a reform of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is currently discussed in order to establish a mechanism under the Paris Agreement starting after 2020 that will focus more strongly on sustainable development (SD). An assessment of SD benefits resulting from CDM projects based on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable...

As current action remains insufficient to meet the goals of the Paris agreement let alone to stabilize the climate, there is increasing hope that solutions related to demand, services and social aspects of climate change mitigation can close the gap. However, given these topics are not investigated by a single epistemic community, the literature ba...
