OSTI ID:6870414

A report is presented of the Expert Group on Emissions Scenarios, which includes the United States and the Netherlands, from the Response Strategies Working Group of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, April 1990. Five scenarios are presented in which greenhouse gas emissions could change over the next century: High Emissions; Low Emissions; Control Policies; and Accelerated Policies (two scenarios). The scenarios also illustrate changes that might stabilize emissions and allow growth and improvement in the standard of living. Goals of 20% reduction in CO{sub 2} emissions are considered by the early part of the next century (Toronto Conference: The Changing Atmosphere - 1988).
