The Emissions Gap Report 2015 International Cooperative Initiatives


• Assessment of the quantitative impact of international cooperative initiatives on GHGs emission reductions in various different sectors, and of the role of non-state actors and the UNFCCC process.


• Provides an overview of private sector engagement in GHG mitigation efforts and summarizes key issues for improved monitoring, reporting and verification of these initiatives.


Forest-related activities


• Provides an assessment of the total technical mitigation potential of reducing forest degradation by: Preventing selective logging, fire/drought, fuelwood harvest, and peatlands fire while enhancing forest management, and; enhancing carbon sequestration through reforestation, ‘wide-scale’ restoration of closed-canopy forest and mosaic restoration.


• Assess the economic and technical mitigation potential of forest-related mitigation options such as expansion of protected areas, supply chain interventions, positive incentives for landholders and exogenous economic factors such as falling commodity prices.


• Considers the REDD+ mechanism’s role as a cost-effective instrument to realizing forest-based emission reductions from deforestation.


The Emissions Gap Report 2014 Sustainable development and addressing climate change


• Provides an overview of the interface between sustainable development and climate change mitigation priorities and illustrates areas where these priorities can be mutually reinforcing and deliver multiple benefits for human development and wellbeing.


• Assesses international collaborations supporting the sustainable development goals and barriers to attain them.


Energy efficiency • Assesses the potential GHG emission reductions and multiple economic and social benefits that can be realized through energy efficiency measures in: buildings, appliances and lighting, industry, transport, and electricity production, transmission and distribution.


The Emissions Gap Report 2013 International Cooperative Initiatives


• Considers the success factors of global dialogues, formal multilateral processes and implementation initiatives focusing on their goals; participation criteria; funding mechanisms; incentives and benefits; and transparency and accountability measures.


Agriculture:


• Provides an overview of the potential mitigation contributions from sustainable agricultural practices such as no-tillage practices by direct seeding under the mulch layer of the previous season’s crop, as well as improving nutrient and water management in rice production, preventing GHG emissions from soil disturbances and fossil- fuel use by farm machinery.


The Emissions Gap Report 2012 Building sector:


• Evaluates the GHG mitigation potentials and the economic and social co-benefits of improved building codes, appliance standards and labels, designed to increase energy efficiency.


Transport sector:


• Evaluates the GHG mitigation potentials and the economic and social co-benefits of transit-oriented development, bus rapid transit, and vehicle performance standards for new light-duty vehicles.


Deforestation:


• Analyzes a set economic instruments and policies as well as command-and-control measures used separately and in combination to scale-up the protection of forest areas and address the drivers of deforestation.
