On April 4, 2022, the new report of the Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was published. This third part studies the scenarios of reduction of greenhouse gases to limit climate change. The report cites four scientific articles co-published by Victor Court, an IFP School graduate and Lecturer-Researcher at the Energy Economics and Management Center.
Victor's work focuses on three themes:
- the accessibility of fossil energy resources;
- the energy impact of digital technologies (dematerialization of goods, teleworking, etc.);
- energy efficiency and its "rebound effects".
His work is referenced in Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the report:
