Technology and policy pathways to Paris emissions goals

In support of the global effort to advance the Paris Agreement on climate change, a team of researchers at the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, the MIT Energy Initiative, and the MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEPR) has developed modeling tools to evaluate the climate progress and potential of two major world regions: Southeast Asia and Latin America. 

The team analyzed gaps between current emission levels and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets within each region, highlighted key challenges to compliance with those targets, and recommended cost-effective policy and technology solutions aimed at overcoming those challenges in consultation with General Electric and regional partners. The results appear in two “Pathways to Paris” reports—one for the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the other for selected countries in Latin America (LAM).
