This research paper analyzes mitigation scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report to evaluate the speed, trajectory, and feasibility of fossil fuel reduction pathways necessary to limit global warming to 2 °C or below.

A report by NewClimate Institute, PBL, and IIASA analyzing projected greenhouse gas emissions in 26 major emitting countries and regions up to 2030 under current policies, focusing on their progress toward Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets.

The report by NewClimate Institute, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, and IIASA analyzes greenhouse gas emission projections for 25 major emitting countries and regions up to 2030. It assesses whether current policies are sufficient to meet their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) and nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

The Second National Communication on Climate Change for Saint Lucia, published in December 2011, provides a comprehensive assessment of the country's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate vulnerabilities, and strategies for mitigation and adaptation. The report details a GHG inventory for the year 2000, projects future emissions through 2020 under various scenarios, and evaluates the vulnerability of key sectors—including tourism, agriculture, and water resources—to rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and sea-level rise. It proposes a series of priority adaptation and mitigation measures, while identifying significant gaps in financial, technical, and institutional capacity that hinder the mainstreaming of climate resilience into national development planning.
