Abstract

Abstract: Peters et al (2015 Environ. Res. Lett. 10 105004 ) find that the INDCs submitted prior to the upcoming UNFCCC meetings in Paris are not nearly 'fair and ambitious' enough to achieve the goal of limiting global warming to <2 °C and that much greater attention needs to be paid to advanced energy technologies, without which climate goals are unattainable.
