Evaluating the Energy Security Implications of a Carbon-Constrained U.S. Economy

Examines how factors linked to U.S. energy security would be affected in eight scenarios in which carbon emissions are limited to a certain level. Assesses the feasibility of and need for low-carbon technology

A Roadmap for a Secure, Low-Carbon Energy Economy

Proposes a set of policies to address both energy security and climate change, including investing in better infrastructure, energy efficiency, and clean-energy jobs; reforming incentives to promote green technology; and forming a natural gas strategy

US climate policy in a post-Paris context

The USA's goal for the UN climate negotiations in Paris last December was to secure broad and meaningful participation from member countries and establish a long-term, durable framework for future actions to cope with a changing climate. Supporters of the Paris Climate Agreement tout its success for delivering on that goal, mobilizing emissions reduction efforts, and sending signals to catalyse additional finance and investment. However, the Agreement is also criticized for falling short of the action necessary to secure the 2 °C temperature rise limit and for lacking strong enforcement mechanisms. Going forward, the objective is to deliver on the commitments secured in Paris and find ways to enable even deeper emissions reductions and more robust adaptation measures that will be necessary to mitigate the climate risks
