National and Sectoral GHG Mitigation Potential: A Comparison Across Models

by Christa Clapp, Katia Karousakis, Barbara Buchner and Jean Chateau

- This paper focuses on mitigation potential to provide a comparative assessment across key economies. GHG mitigation potential is defined here to be the level of GHG emission reductions that could be realised, relative to the projected emission baseline in a given year, for a given carbon price. Estimates of GHG mitigation potential projected in the future can be obtained via models.
