Emission inventories (EIs) are the fundamental tool to monitor compliance with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and emission reduction commitments. Inventory accounting guidelines provide the best practices to help EI compilers across different countries and regions make comparable, national emission estimates regardless of differences in data availability. However, there are a variety of sources of

Sugarcane straw management for bioenergy: effects of global warming on greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon storage Mitig. Adapt. Strateg. Glob. Change (IF 3.23) Pub Date : 2019-07-16 Gustavo V. Popin; Arthur K. B. Santos; Thiago de P. Oliveira; Plínio B. de Camargo; Carlos E. P. Cerri; Marcos Siqueira-Neto
Global warming can intensify the soil organic matter (SOM) turnover, damaging soil health. Crop residues left on the soil are important to maintain a positive SOM budget and nutrient cycling. But, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) straw has been removed from the field for bioenergy purposes. We hypothesize that global warming, together with straw removal, will negatively impact Brazil’s ethanol carbon

Assessing negative carbon dioxide emissions from the perspective of a national “fair share” of the remaining global carbon budget Mitig. Adapt. Strateg. Glob. Change (IF 3.23) Pub Date : 2019-07-12 Barry McMullin; Paul Price; Michael B. Jones; Alwynne H. McGeever
We present an assessment of the plausible Paris-aligned fair share nett cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) quota for an example nation state, the Republic of Ireland. By Paris-aligned, we mean consistent with the Paris Agreement adopted at the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, at Paris, France, in December 2015 (UNFCCC 2015). We compare and contrast

The impact of the Clean Development Mechanism on developing countries’ commitment to mitigate climate change and its implications for the future Mitig. Adapt. Strateg. Glob. Change (IF 3.23) Pub Date : 2019-07-01 Theresa Stahlke
The objective of this paper is to examine the mitigation of climate change using the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the perspective of developing countries. The effects of the CDM on developing countries’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) pledged under the Paris Agreement (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change [UNFCCC], 21st Conference of the Parties, Paris, France)

Correction to: Assessing local climate vulnerability and winegrowers’ adaptive processes in the context of climate change Mitig. Adapt. Strateg. Glob. Change (IF 3.23) Pub Date : 2019-06-28 Etienne Neethling, Théo Petitjean, Hervé Quénol, Gérard Barbeau
Section 3.4.2: Reference “Nicholas and Durham 2012” should have been cited in the last sentence. That is “Using a list of viticultural practices defined beforehand, winegrowers had to organize them in an ascending order, from urgent to low adaptation priority, according to a temporal scale, ranging from short to long term over the twenty-first century (Nicholas and Durham 2012)”. This reference is
