WP3: Implementation in major economies: Changes to energy infrastructure and land use patterns
The main questions that the WP addresses are:
- What changes in the energy system and land use of major economies are necessary in order to limit global mean temperature to 2°C (assuming the different scenarios explored in work package 1) and what would be the implications of these changes?
- What can locally available information on current policies and potential for greenhouse gas emission reduction in major economies tell us on the feasibility of the global scenarios?
- How can lifestyle changes contribute to achieving 2°C climate targets?
- What are the land use implications of 2°C scenarios under different assumptions, e.g. feedbacks on agricultural production, ecosystem diversity, and reduced adaptation needs because of climate mitigation policies?
