WP 2 Developing baseline scenarios
Objectives
Description of work
Task 2.1: Setting common assumptions
Partners: FEEM, ECN, USTUTT, KANLO, ORDECSYS, UNIMAN, CHALMERS, LEI
Given the wide variety of models used in the project, the main drivers of the model outcomes are determined. Common assumptions are selected and agreed upon for these main drivers. In particular, assumptions are made for such variables as population growth, economic development and autonomous technological change.
Task 2.2: Baseline projections
Partners: FEEM, ECN, USTUTT, KANLO, ORDECSYS, UNIMAN
On the basis of the above common assumptions, it is intended to develop baseline scenarios that are as homogeneous as achievable. All six models are used to generate these Business-As-Usual scenarios, with a time horizon to 2050/2060.
Task 2.3: Baseline implications
Partner: USTUTT
The baseline scenarios are compared in their most essential aspects, as for example with regards to the projected path of carbon dioxide emissions, the consumption of exhaustible energy or material resources as well as technological development. The results are organized and formatted together, presented in combined plots and as such made accessible to the public on the PLANETS website.
Workpackage 2 is carried out under the co-ordination of USTUTT
