Climate change 2014: mitigation of climate change (IPCC Climate Change Report, Fifth Assessment, WGIII AR5)

This final volume of the three-part landmark report released by the IPCC shows that global emissions of greenhouse gases have risen to unprecedented levels and calls for emissions reductions from energy production and use, transport, buildings, industry, land use, and human settlements.

The Working Group III contribution assesses the options for mitigating climate change and their underlying technological, economic and institutional requirements. It transparently lays out risks, uncertainty and ethical foundations of climate change mitigation policies on the global, national and sub-national level, investigates mitigation measures for all major sectors and assesses investment and finance issues.
