Abstract

For sufficiently fast climate change mitigation, strategies once considered unthinkable have to be discussed. As negative-emission technologies and solar geoengineering are risky, social and economic innovations are needed as well. Working time reduction is a completely neglected strategy that needs urgent attention in climate–economy models and policy.
