DDPP – 16 countries – Synthesis

The DDPP issued a report on the first phase of its work, preliminary findings on technically 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 – Supplementary Material

This supplementary material contains case studies presenting specific aspects of the DDPP country pathways. They illustrate and complement the cross-cutting analysis included in the 2015 DDPP synthesis report.

DDPP – 16 countries – Executive Summary

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 – 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 2C in order to avoid dangerous climate change.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in Brazil

Brazil faces the challenge of building upon its historically low energy-related GHG emission levels through new decarbonization strategies, while pursuing higher living standards for its population.

DDPP – 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.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in China

This China country report by the country team in the Deep decarbonization pathway project (DDPP) summarize the key findings of the technical pathways developed by the Chinese team, with a view to achieve deep reduction in the longer term for China.

DDPP – 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.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in France

This report has studied the feasibility conditions of two different decarbonization pathways: one focusing on energy efficiency to obtain a strong reduction in energy demand (this pathway is highly consistent with objectives of the law on Energy Transition for Green Growth) and the other one considering potential limits to energy demand reduction and thus implying a higher level of decarbonized energy supply.
