Developing Baselines for Climate Policy Analysis

Source Organization: Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
Date: 2011-05-01T00:00:00
Length: 18 Pages
Training Audience: Planner / policy-maker / implementer (national government), Planner / policy-maker / implementer (sub-national government), Technical analyst / modeler / researcher
Difficulty Level: No technical background required
Training Type: Other
Short Description

This document contributes to UNEP’s MCA4climate initiative by presenting guidelines for developing baselines for climate policy analysis. These guidelines can help users establish baselines for use in national and regional analysis. Baseline analysis allows users to: identify trends in GHG emissions by source, including agricultural and land use sources; demonstrate links between emissions and the development of the energy system, especially where GHG emissions are rising quickly; and assist in the assessment of additionally for use in climate policy decisions.
