Approach - good practice policies

How much could global GHG emissions be reduced if all countries implemented the best policies that are already applied by some countries?

Steps:

Identify good practice policy areas

Define indicators for the quantification of the policies

Determine impact on emissions per country and globally

Where possible - Compare results to scenarios compatible with 2°

Illustration of results of good practice asSectoral indicators

Absolute economy wide emissions

4

Exemplary results – Fuel efficiency of light duty vehicles (LDVs)

Relatively homogeneous efficiency of LDVs across countries today, some deviation in future

Good practice improves efficiency especially after 2020

Exemplary results – share of renewable electricity

Good practice accelerates renewable energy deployment

2° compatible: 35% in 2030 (median of all scenarios, IPCC 2014)

6

Exemplary results – emission intensity of the electricity sector

Good practice strengthens decarbonisation trend

2° compatible: 0.16 to 0.35 kg/kWh in 2030 (IPCC 2014)

Conclusions

Good practice policies in the nine analysed areas move emission trajectories significantly towards 2°

Policies in areas not analysed (35% of emissions) can lead to additional reductions

Fast implementation and broad geographical coverage are essential

Sectoral indicators valuable for analyzing direct impacts of policies
