Environmental improvements of the CAFE scenario Impact indicator in 2000 = 100%
Next steps Bilateral consultations –with 21 EU Member States, Norway: completed –+ Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Russia, Ukraine –All available and approved EGTEI results incorporated NEC baseline scenario: Spring 2006 Model improvements: Spring 2006 –Updated energy baseline projections (national and PRIMES) –City-Delta 3 for urban increments (improved population data, 2 more cities, improved validation) –Updated critical loads data –Multi-year meteorology –GAINS optimization: synergies with greenhouse gas mitigation Policy scenarios: Rest of 2006
