DDP Transport – Mexico
Pathways to deep decarbonization of the passenger transport sector in Mexico
Current and historical patterns of uncontrolled urbanization and poor public transportation strongly encourage the use of private vehicles with an ever-lower occupancy rate in increasingly congested roads. The increasing surface of cities effectively expands the distances commuters need to travel everyday. The resulting rise in gasoline consumption has exceeded domestic refining capacity and imports account for half of total supply. The transport sector is the single largest source of GHG emissions in Mexico with a fourth of the total. Two scenarios are presented, both leading to a 50% reduction in annual CO2 emissions of the passenger transport sector by 2050 (50 MtCO2) compared to the level in 2010.

2050 Pathways – A Handbook
The 2050 Pathways Platform is an initiative that was launched in Marrakech at COP22. The objective of the Platform is to support countries, states, regions, cities and companies seeking to devise long-term, net zero-greenhouse gas, climate-resilient and sustainable development pathways.
This technical paper presents guidance on how to conduct 2050 pathways analyses. It suggests criteria, principles and building blocks for a successful development of pathways, as well as selected illustrations. It is intended to be read together with: Why Develop 2050 Pathways?

DDPP – 16 countries
Synthesis report of the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project
The DDPP issued a report on the first phase of its work, preliminary findings on tech nically feasible pathways, at the UN Climate Summit in September 2014, at the invitation of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. This report summarized each country team’s initial research. In the fall of 2015, all 16 teams published stand-alone reports describing in greater detail their research into national DDPs. This 2015 Synthesis Report provides a cross-cutting analysis of the aggregate results, complementing the executive summary published in September 2015.

DDPP – 16 countries – Executive summary
Synthesis report of the Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project
The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) is a collaborative global research initiative to understand how individual countries can transition to a low-carbon economy consistent with the internationally agreed goal of limiting anthropogenic warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius (°C). Staying within this limit requires global net emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) to approach zero in the second half of this century. This will entail, more than any other factor, a profound transformation of energy systems, through steep declines in carbon intensity across all sectors, a transition we call “deep decarbonization”.

DDPP – Australia
Pathways to deep decarbonization in Australia
The report presents an illustrative deep decarbonisation pathway for Australia – just one of many possible pathways – developed using a combination of well-established modelling tools to identify feasible and least-cost options. The frame of reference for the analysis is that all countries decarbonise by 2050, consistent with the objective of limiting the increase in global mean surface temperature to 2°C in order to avoid dangerous climate change.

Pathways to deep decarbonization in Canada
In this second Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) Canada report we look outside of Canada’s borders to identify global decarbonization trends that will affect Canada and our ability to achieve deep decarbonization. We focus on identifying resilient pathways that policy can target regardless of eventual ambition, whether it is tentative, short-term steps or longerterm shifts towards deeper reductions.

Pathways to deep decarbonization in Germany
This report explores what is required to achieve deep decarbonization in Germany and reach the German target of reducing domestic GHG emissions by 80% to 95% by 2050 (compared with 1990). Potential decarbonization pathways for Germany are illustrated by means of three ambitious scenarios.
