National greenhouse gas emissions baseline scenarios: learning from experiences in Developing Countries

UNEP Risø Centre, the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) and the OECD have released a report titled 'National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Baseline Scenarios: Learning from Experiences of Developing Countries.' The report intends to increase transparency and contribute to the understanding of pledges presented by UNFCCC parties with the ultimate objective of assessing the prospects for reaching the global goal of limiting global warming to 2ºC. It highlights that understanding likely future trends in GHG emissions is key both from the domestic policy-making perspective, as well as for informing countries' positions in international negotiations.
