Publication 2019
A report intended to support cities in designing development models and solutions for decarbonisation.
The report, which has earned the nickname "The New Stern Report", deals with the economics of biodiversity and argues that nature is still a "blind spot" in the deep economy, and offers solutions to address this.
The report suggests that anthropogenic methane emissions could be reduced by 45 percent this decade. Such reductions in methane emissions by 2030 would put the world on track to meet the Paris Agreement target and have significant benefits for human health, development and food security.

The article summarizes the evidence on the danger of exceeding tipping points, identifies gaps in knowledge and suggests how to fill them.
In the next 50 years, 1 to 3 billion people are expected to remain outside the climatic conditions suitable for favorable human development.
The results show that ambitious efforts to conserve nature and transform the food system are crucial for an effective post-2020 biodiversity strategy
The article summarizes concrete measures to promote positive social dynamics and rapid global transformation to a carbon-neutral society.

Under 2C global warming, West Antarctica will undergo long-term disruption due to sea ice sheet instability
The results of the study show that meeting the 1,5°C target is likely to reduce overall damage and reduce global inequality, and that failure to meet the 2°C target is likely to significantly increase economic damage.
