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.
