Dayton, D. C., Southwell, B. G., & Rao, V. (2021). Diversifying energy options in a carbon-constrained world. RTI Press. RTI Press Research Brief No. RB-0029-2110 https://doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2021.rb.0029.2110
Diversifying Energy Options in a Carbon-Constrained World is a new series to be published by RTI Press to provide a wide, cross-disciplinary discussion of carbon mitigation options and strategies to inform national and international research, scientific discussions, and policy debates.
Human influence on the climate system is an established fact, and global warming—already resulting in the likelihood of more frequent and intense weather events—has been observed.
A combination of new technologies, social acceptance, and environmental regulations at the local, national, and international levels will be needed to realize a sustained, multidisciplinary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
There is a critical need to reduce the static, calm the hype, and provide a realistic and complete presentation of facts to support climate change mitigation decisions.
Abstract
There is a critical need to reduce the static, calm the hype, and provide a realistic and complete presentation of facts to drive climate change mitigation decisions. Diversifying Energy Options in a Carbon-Constrained World is a new series to be published by RTI Press to provide a wide, cross-disciplinary discussion of carbon mitigation options and strategies to inform national and international research, scientific discussions, and policy debates.
RTI’s mission is to improve the human condition by turning knowledge into practice. As an independent, scientific research institute, we share our findings openly - through RTI Press, other peer-reviewed publications, and media – in line with scientific standards and to benefit as many people as possible. RTI Press ensures that our peer-reviewed, evidence-based publications remain available to contribute to scientific advances, even as priorities evolve.
