Limiting fossil fuel production as the next big step

The paper advocates for limiting the production of coal, gas, and oil to increase climate policy ambition. It specifically highlights that California could substantially reduce global CO2 emissions and improve local environmental justice by stopping the issuance of permits for new oil wells.

• Limiting the production of coal, gas, and oil, rather than focusing solely on consumption, is presented as a method for jurisdictions to increase the ambition and effectiveness of their climate policies.
• The authors find that if the US state of California stopped issuing permits for new oil wells, it would lead to a substantial reduction in global CO2 emissions and improve environmental justice within the state.
