Who and what are these scenarios for?Who and what are these scenarios for?Who and what are these scenarios for?
“The scenarios are intended primarily for decisionmakers and analysts who might benefit from enhanced understanding of the potential characteristics and implications of stabilization. For example, technology planners might be interested in enhanced understanding of the potential energy systems implications of stabilization. The scenarios are also intended to serve as a point of departure for further CCSP and other analyses, such as climate scenarios or analyses of mitigation and adaptation options. The development of these scenarios will enhance the capabilities for future scenario analyses that might be conducted by CCSP or related agencies, such as those involved in CCTP.”

The Scenarios will provide insights into questions such as the following:The Scenarios will The Scenarios will provide insightsprovide insights into questions such into questions such as the following:as the following:
Emissions Trajectories:What emissions trajectories over time are consistent with meeting the four alternative stabilization levels?What are the key factors that shape the emissions trajectories that lead toward stabilization?
Energy Systems:What energy system characteristics are consistent with each of the four alternative stabilization levels?How might these characteristics differ among stabilization levels?
Economic Implications:What are the possible economic implications of meeting the four alternative stabilization levels?

All modeling groups assume existing climate programs (Kyoto, U.S. intensity target) but then assume perfect where, when, and what flexibility going forward.Assumptions (e.g., population, economic growth, technological change) developed individually by the modeling groups.No likelihoods assigned to any scenarios or parameters.
Teams directed to develop assumptions they consider “plausible”and “meaningful”.These are not the only sets of assumptions that these three modeling teams could have developed.

Primary energy grows to between three and four times today’s levels by the end of the century.All models envision penetration of fossil alternatives for conventional oilTransition away from conventional oil sourcesSubstantial growth in sources that don’t emit carbonBut fossil fuels remain the dominant energy source.

Emissions ultimately decline toward the rate at which emissions are balanced by removal processes.Timing depends on the stabilization levelEmissions trajectories vary because of differences in (1) ocean uptake, (2) net terrestrial emissions, and (3) contributions from non-CO2 GHGs

The Main DriversThe Main DriversThe Main Drivers
The issue—why is there a difference in estimates of costs across the three models? Two factors appear to play prominent roles.
1. Degree of Emissions Reductions, and
2. Assumptions about post-2050 technology

While both the degree to which models reduce emissions matters in all stabilization scenarios, differences in the degree of emissions mitigation are particularly important in stabilization Levels 3 and 4.
