Two low-carbon scenarios are considered in this study – the first with no specific technology limitations, and the second with a number of restrictions, the most important being that no carbon capture and storage (CCS) is allowed to be deployed, gas imports are limited, and biomass usage in […]

AVOID 1: A taxonomy of countries’ mitigation strategies
This analysis considers 20 variables covering social, economic, technology and natural resource factors deemed to be relevant to mitigation for a set of over 100 countries. Of these, the analysis shows that the most important factors are GDP per capita levels and growth rates, the manufacturing share of […]
AVOID 1: Providing key advice to UK Government on avoiding dangerous climate change – Pre-CoP update 2012
A presentation on findings from the AVOID 1 programme with relevance for the CoP 18 conference, including:
An update on historical emissions
Relating emissions to temperature targets
Feasibility of emissions reductions
Impacts of climate change at 2°C and above
Coming soon from AVOID […]
AVOID 1: Scoping study: modelling the interaction between mitigation and adaptation for decision making
Key outcomes
• Adaptation and mitigation are complementary measures.
• Globally, one cannot trade the concept of ‘1 degree of mitigation’ with that of ‘1 degree of adaptation’, owing to the very different potential for adaptation in different sectors and regions, the issue of scale, the dynamics of […]
AVOID 1: Development of emissions pathways meeting a range of long term temperature targets
There is a wide range of future greenhouse-gas emissions pathways that meet any given climate target. Whilst the AVOID programme has produced a large number of emissions scenarios and pathways to date, AVOID has not produced a systematic assessment of the different mitigated emissions pathways that are […]
