Both countries face extreme climate challenges, from water scarcity to food…
• Publication 14 October 2024 Bridging the gap: Sectoral greenhouse gas mitigation potentials in 2035 This report was developed in support of the 2024 Emissions Gap Report (EGR) of UNEP. It provides the analysis and findings that are used as background for the development of Chapter 6 of the EGR 2024: “Bridging the gap: Sectoral transformations, benchmarks, potentials, and needed investments”. The report addresses two critical questions: can the emissions gap identified for 2030 and 2035 be bridged, and what are the most promising mitigation options to do so? To answer these questions, a…
• Publication 25 October 2023 An overview of Mitigation Scenario Modelling Tools for the Energy Sector The Global Support Programme identified the need for “Mitigation Scenario Modelling Tools” to help non-Annex 1 countries assess their mitigation action and policies. The current document covers the modelling tools for the energy sector, which contributed more than 78% of CO2 emissions in 2020. The modelling tools can help countries assess national emissions trajectories for the energy sector under existing (business as usual) policies and mitigation actions and policies. The document covers a…
• Tools 22 March 2023 GACMO tool Greenhouse gas Abatement Cost Model (GACMO) Calculating current and future greenhouse gas emissions is a prerequisite for countries to inform political decisions concerning climate action. It is also the foundation for transparent and credible climate action at national and global levels. The GACMO (Greenhouse Gas Abatement Cost Model) is a greenhouse gas emissions projections tool developed over more than twenty years by the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. It allows countries to…
