Additional comments: Three things are unique about the work compared to other abatement reports: 1. We have the broadest possible scope, i.e. all sectors, regions and gases. The IEA for instance, looks only at CO2 emissions (not at the other GHG gases) from energy usage (e.g. not forestry, agriculture, and process emissions from industry). 2. Many other reports do not take the cost curve approach, and therefore cannot compare the relative economic attractiveness of different abatement options 3. We are less consensus-driven than most of the international organizations, and can therefore draw more interesting/proactive conclusions The value of our work lies primarily in the comprehensive view that allow us to compare the order of magnitude of different opportunities We compare the work with a 16 th century geographical world map – the broad picture we believe is correct, but many individual measures will certainly develop differently from our model
