Reading the Data on Developing Countries

• Rapid growth in energy use and emissions

• China is the major player, both in rate and scale:

– 618 GW installed capacity in 2006

– 106 GW newly installed

source: J. Kejun (2007)

• Have modeling scenarios caught up?

• What are the implications for global stabilization goals?

Conclusions

• There is considerable uncertainty about future growth…

• … but, the scenario shown here is plausible, consistent with current observations and historical experience

• If developing countries continue to grow along this baseline path, aggressive stabilization targets quickly become impossible to meet (without overshoot)

• Annex B countries must find a way to engage China
