Integrated analysis of innovative, optimised mitigation options to support climate policy
The overall aim of WP7 is to identify, evaluate, and quantify the multiple benefits which can be achieved from the implementation of mitigation options for non-CO2 climate forcers for:
- Climate mitigation and adaptation
- Human health impacts
- Social
- Economic costs
- Development
WP7 will compare the historic, baseline, and mitigation emission reduction potentials of nationally-relevant implementation of non-CO2 climate forcing mitigation (evaluated in WP6). This comparison will be used to assess how these differ from global scenarios (e.g., the SSPs) and to outline the major differences or similitudes considering national circumstances, policies, plans, and more.
WP7 will also describe the health impact assessment methods to be used throughout FOCI. It will identify and describe the quantitative methodologies with a potential to extend the analysis of emissions to quantify the additional impacts of implementing non-CO2 mitigation measures.
As for WP6, a key goal is to link national scale plans to the scenarios, so that calculations of the resulting societal impacts are more grounded in countries’ reality, according to emissions from other regions/sectors.
In WP7, multiple benefits that can be achieved from the implementation of mitigation options for non-CO2 climate forcers will be studied, with the development of non-CO2 climate forcer emission projections for specific sectors or regions that evaluate the implementation of nationally-appropriate mitigation measures targeting non-CO2 climate forcers. A quantitative assessment of broader sustainable development goal (at national/regional level) benefits that are achieved from the implementation of the mitigation measures targeting non-CO2 climate forcers, will also be undertaken.
