- 3. 1. Introduction and framing Provide a framing of the overarching concepts and key policy-relevant issues for the report Historical and current anthropogenic emissions and emissions trends Broad view of mitigation futures in the context of sustainable development Come early in the report to reflect the importance of sustainable development as a framing concept Inclusive approach for the incorporation of and assessment of a diverse range of methodologies, models, databases, and development tools for scenarios and emissions pathways 2. Past and current anthropogenic emissions and their drivers 3. Projected futures in the context of sustainable development and climate change 4. Sustainable development and mitigation AR7 WGIII | Agreed Outline
- 4. 5. Enablers and barriers 6. Policies and governance and international cooperation 7. Finance Factors that facilitate and/or constrain mitigation Integrative assessment of the multiple enablers, barriers, and constraints Policies, barriers and international cooperation The role of finance in climate mitigation strategies, programmes, and policies The multiple enablers, opportunities, barriers, and constraints for mitigation, including cost, capacity, environment and natural resources, finance, social aspects, technology, and trade AR7 WGIII | Agreed Outline
- 5. 8. Services and demand 9. Energy systems 10. Industry 11. Transport and mobility services and systems 12. Buildings and human settlements 13. Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) 14. Integration and interactions across sectors and systems Assessing options that provide services while reducing emissions and enhancing removals Human needs, aspirations, inclusive well-being, development and social aspects Assess all aspects of energy production, conversion, transmission, and distribution Assess the mitigation effects of system integration, including energy, transport, buildings, and industry Mitigation options for services and demand, energy systems, industry, transport and mobility services and systems, buildings and human settlements, and AFOLU with a focus on sectors, systems, and their integration AR7 WGIII | Agreed Outline
- 6. Technical and economic potential, sustainability limits, equity and justice implications, risks, costs, and uncertainties Explore the minimum levels of residual emissions achievable in different national and global climate development futures Geophysical, environmental-ecological, technological, economic, institutional, and sociocultural dimensions Effectiveness of CDR approaches before, during, and after a period of temperature overshoot 15. Potentials, limits, and risks of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) Discuss the potentials, limits, and risks of different CDR approaches, including their effectiveness at different warming levels and time scales, feasibility assessment, and permanence AR7 WGIII | Agreed Outline
- 7. AR7 WGIII | Linkages Introduction and framing Cluster A: Past and current trends and futures, sustainable development mitigation Cluster B: Factors that enable or constrain mitigation Cluster C: Sectors, systems and their integration Potentials, limits and risks of CDR
