Soergel, B., Kriegler, E., Weindl, I. et al. A sustainable development pathway for climate action within the UN 2030 Agenda. Nat. Clim. Chang. 11, 656–664 (2021)

Objective:

• Quantify the role of sustainable development pathway (SDP)

Case:

• Global countries

Methodology:

• REMIND-MAgPIE model: 56 SDGs
  • REMIND: regional model of investments and development
  • MAgPIE: model of agricultural production and its impact on the environment

Data Source

• V-Dem: Country-Year-Data
• Uppsala Conflict Data program
• Population and human capital stocks: Wittgenstein centre

Findings:

• Healthy and sustainable diets drastically reduce non-co2 GHG emissions
• Lower policy costs and a strong reduced pressure on land limit the impact on energy and food expenditures, helping the poor to meet their needs

• The marginal losses from an increase in day-to-day temperature variability are largest in low-latitude and costal regions

• Marginal losses from an increase in day-to-day temperature variability are generally larger for regions in low-income nations compared with those in higher-income nations

Coding Reference:

• R for REMIND
• R for MAgPIE
