Information Toolkit for post-2012 climate policies

This Information Toolkit for post-2012 climate policies is meant to support the EU (and the Ad Hoc Working Group on Further Commitments for Annex I Parties under the Kyoto Protocol (AWG) and the Convention Dialogue) need for factual underpinning and to strengthen its position in the negotiatons on further commitments with respect to climate change. It contains datasets on subjects relevant to the negotiating process up to the Conference of the Parties (COP-13 and beyond). The Toolkit is a flexible system. Users are allowed to create figures and tables and change parameters.

The Toolkit contains information on historical emissions and energy trends, emission pathways, stabilisation scenarios, mitigation potentials and costs, co-benefits and historical responsibility. The main sources are MNP, IIASA, Ecofys, IEA, UNFCCC and IPCC AR4 WG III.
