Enhancing mitigation ambitions in the major emitting countries: analysis of current and potential climate policies

This study provides an overview of projected greenhouse gas emissions in seven major emitting countries (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and the United States) up to 2030, resulting from current, planned and selected enhanced mitigation policies. The emission projection associated with the enhanced mitigation policies shows that by replicating ‘best-in-class’ policies or progressing to identified benchmarks, it is possible to significantly increase current mitigation efforts.
