claimEconomic analyses of climate change mitigation have long neglected the fiscal implications of substantial carbon prices, which are essential for meeting the 1.5°C warming limit set by the Paris Agreement, according to a 2017 article in Climate Policy.
claimThe Paris Agreement's goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C implies that climate policy will remain a national responsibility for the foreseeable future, according to a 2017 article in Climate Policy.
claimJointly considering climate policy and fiscal policy can make substantial mitigation politically feasible and lower mitigation costs, even under a 1.5°C target.

claimTong et al. (2019) calculate that 'committed emissions' from existing and planned energy infrastructure will exceed the entire 1.5°C emission budget if they are used for typical past lifetimes, necessitating premature shutdowns to achieve the 1.5°C target.
referenceThe article 'Energy asset stranding in resource-rich developing countries and the just transition - A framework to push research frontiers' cites Welsby et al. (2021) regarding the quantity of unextractable fossil fuels required to maintain a 1.5°C global temperature limit.
claimTong D., Zhang Q., Zheng Y., Caldeira K., Shearer C., Hong C., et al. (2019) concluded that committed emissions from existing energy infrastructure jeopardize the 1.5°C climate target, as published in Nature.

measurementTo be compatible with 2°C and 1.5°C global temperature increase limits, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) for 2035 need to reduce global emissions by 37% and 57% below 2019 levels, respectively.
measurementTo align 2030 emissions with a 2°C warming target, a 28% reduction is needed, and to align with a 1.5°C target, a 42% reduction is needed.
