Hi Jessica: Thanks; look forward to reading it. Here is another paper on net zero pledges. this is open access

Examining variations in the stringency of country-level net-zero emission pledges<https://journals.plos.org/climate/article?id=10.1371/journal.pclm.0000094> The 2015 Paris Agreement outlined the goal to limit temperature increases below 2°C, preferably to 1.5°C. In response, several countries have announced net-zero emission pledges (NZEP). The credibility of these pledges varies because countries have committed to different target years. Moreover, some pledges outline sectoral as opposed to economy-wide targets and vary in how they monitor progress. To assess the pledge’s credibility, we create a novel NZEP stringency score. We find that climate leaders with a higher share of renewable energy in final energy consumption are more likely to have announced more stringent NZEPs. However, economic development, the size of the economy, countries’ embeddedness in international environmental treaties, and the robustness of domestic civil society are not associated with NZEP stringency. journals.plos.org ________________________________ From: gep-ed@googlegroups.com <gep-ed@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Jessica Green <jf.gr...@utoronto.ca> Sent: Monday, June 5, 2023 8:47 AM To: gep-ed@googlegroups.com <gep-ed@googlegroups.com> Subject: [gep-ed] New paper on Net Zero Dear all, Apologies for the shameless self-promotion, but you may wish to have a look at a new paper out in Climate Policy. It’s a great “workhorse” paper – shows rigorously what we already know about net zero. There’s a lot of talk, but not a lot of implementation. This is a meta-review of the literature which provides details about what we know and don’t know about net zero.
