Towards a Policy Menu to Strengthen the Ambition to Mitigate Greenhouse Gases

Abstract

The international climate negotiations acknowledge that
ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions must be
increased in the short term in order to maintain climate
change at safe levels. Existing reduction commitments from
countries play an essential role, but are not sufficient to
close the gap between expected emissions and a two degree
pathway. It is therefore imperative to identify areas with
high mitigation potential as well as co-benefits; generate
opportunities for action in these areas based on best practice
experiences; provide matching support in terms of finance,
capacity building and technologies; and encourage countries
to sign up for such combinations of greenhouse gas mitigation
and support.
