The Natural Environment Research Council, in collaboration with the Department of Energy & Climate Change, invites proposals for its call on understanding the pathways to and impacts of a 1.5°C rise in global temperature. This aims to advance our understanding of the research needs and provide timely evidence to inform policy following the introduction of the 1.5 °C limit in the Paris agreement. The three potential areas to be addressed are the following: •linkage between the cumulative level of future net emissions of greenhouse gases and future temperature increases in the 1.5-2.0°C range; •feasibility of pathway options that limit warming to 1.5°C and their additional consequences; •environmental impacts of a 1.5°C temperature rise compared with 2°C. |
