The Role of Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases in Climate Change mitigation : Long-term scenarios for the 21st century Shilpa Rao* and Keywan Riahi*. Abstract The Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases have so far jointly contributed around 40 percent to overall global warming. In this paper we examine the role of these Gases in meeting long-term Climate change targets. For this purpose, we develop mitigation scenarios aimed at achieving long-term stabilization of global radiative forcing at W/m2 as compared to pre-industrial times. We use the MESSAGE model for a thorough bottom-up representation of the various Greenhouse Gases and the corresponding mitigation technologies. This approach endogenizes energy feedback effects from mitigation of Non-CO2 Gases and takes into account the interplay and side benefits that exist across GHGs.
The Role of Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases in Climate Change Mitigation / 3 2 Scenario Description The baseline used in this analysis is the B2 scenario derived from IPCC’s Special Report on Emissions (SRES 2000; Nakicenovic (ed.) 2000).
