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.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in United Kingdom

The UK has been a leader in legislating long-term climate mitigation targets and crucially setting a binding institutional and reporting framework to ensure that a series of 5-year carbon budgets are adhered to. In summary, this report seeks to demonstrate, alongside other countries, that a 2°C target could be achievable, and still remains an important political goal to aim for at the coming climate talks in Paris.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in Indonesia

This report presents the results of a deep decarbonization analysis conducted by the Indonesian Country Research Team consisting of researchers from Institut Teknologi Bandung, particularly the Center for Research on Energy Policy “Institut Teknologi Bandung and Centre for Climate Risk and Opportunity Management” Bogor Agriculture University. Our objective is to explore potential development pathways by which the Republic of Indonesia could achieve the deep decarbonization of its economy, to the level where it would contribute to the worldwide endeavor of limiting global temperature increases to less than 2°C.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in India

The analysis consider two development scenarios for India and assess alternate roadmaps for transiting to a low carbon economy consistent with the globally agreed 2°C stabilization target. The report does not consider existence of a reference scenario of a world with unmitigated carbon emissions recognizing UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s exhortation that “.. there is no Plan B for action as there is no Planet B“.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in Italia

This report contributes to the national debate on climate-change mitigation, and the importance of deep decarbonization, by examining three alternative pathways that could reduce Italian CO2 emissions by at least 40% in 2030 and 80% in 2050, compared to 1990. It analyzes the challenges the Italian energy system faces, and possible future technological developments that will need to be pursued.

DDPP – Pathways to deep decarbonization in Japan

In this study, three Deep-Decarbonization Pathways are defined for Japan, each meeting the 2050 mitigation target, while considering different assumptions regarding the availability of low-carbon technologies. The assessments of these scenarios, using AIM/Enduse and AIM/CGE models, demonstrate that they correspond to realistic transformations and help to identify the conditions for their implementation.
