European Environment Agency 11 th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, May 2010, Larnaca Open questions and uncertainties The future climate policy? – eg EU: the current 20% or a 30% reduction target? (late May/early June, European Commission communication on the 30% option) What will be the effect of the economic crisis? 1.PRIMES 2009 includes the economic crisis, current climate/energy measures legislation But double-sip recession? 2.12 national baseline projections have been submitted

European Environment Agency 11 th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, May 2010, Larnaca TFIAM’s Baseline considerations Baseline assumptions will first of all affect the costs of an abatement strategy, but can also affect the distribution of efforts. National baselines show a large variety in assumptions on economic growth, oil- and carbon prices and domestic climate policy. Further efforts to improve the available baselines would not reduce basic uncertainties in future economic developments and climate and energy policies, but only delay the revision of the Protocol. The PRIMES 2009 baseline provides a coherent perspective comprising current legislation etc, although some countries have different expectations on future national energy and climate policies. Still the PRIMES 2009 baseline would offer a more equal starting point for defining further measures than the national baselines. R. Maas, 2010.

European Environment Agency 11 th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, May 2010, Larnaca WGSR recommendations For the baseline Parties agreed to use Primes2009 for all countries (if available) & Capri agriculture for the baseline. IEA/FAO data would be used for others eg EECCA countries. (NO, CH – national projections) National projections supplemented with PRIMES2008 will be used to provide a higher-growth scenario/sensitivity run. Additional Primes policy scenarios (eg 30% GHG, 20% renewables etc) will inform the later scenario work. Meeting report

European Environment Agency 11 th Joint EIONET/TFEIP meeting, May 2010, Larnaca Other issues TFIAM’s workplan also includes: Analyse further how uncertainties could be reflected in policy through flexibility mechanisms Target setting options Not only focus on 2020, but to make full use of the 2030 data provided by PRIMES 2009 and the World Energy Outlook Next meeting May, Dublin
