GHG-Framed Mitigation Actions by Developing Countries

This research paper by the World Resources Institute examines mitigation actions submitted to the UNFCCC by developing countries, specifically focusing on a subset of 16 countries that framed their actions in terms of expected greenhouse gas (GHG) impact.

• While 41 developing countries submitted mitigation actions under the UNFCCC following the 2010 Cancun agreements, only 16 of these countries framed their actions specifically in terms of their expected greenhouse gas (GHG) impact.
• The 16 developing countries that utilized GHG-framed mitigation actions were responsible for roughly 60 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions from developing countries in the year 2000.
• The paper aims to determine the potential GHG impacts of the assessed mitigation actions and identify the accounting questions required to clarify the magnitude of those impacts, without assessing the ambition or adequacy of the actions.
