IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007   Climate Change 2007: Working Group III: Mitigation of Climate Change    
C. Mitigation in the short and medium term (until 2030)

  • Lifestyle changes can reduce GHG emissions. Changes in lifestyles and consumption patterns that emphasize resource conservation can contribute to developing a low-carbon economy that is both equitable and sustainable [4.1, 6.7].
     
  • Reduced energy demand, with an investment goal to reduce CO2 emissions by one per cent per year by 2100. This would be technologically challenging and assumes unprecedented progressive international cooperation focused explicitly on developing a low-carbon economy that is both equitable and sustainable, requiring improvements in end-use efficiency and aggressive changes in lifestyle to emphasize resource conservation and dematerialization.
