Significant potential exists for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries by 2025. The basis for the discussion on the potential reductions are three policy-driven scenarios-the 2060 Emission case, the Control Policies case, and the Accelerate Policies case. Emissions from energy-related activities would likely be reduced through a combination of energy efficiency measures, a shift to non-fossil energy supplies, and greater reliance on less carbon-intensive fossil fuels. Concurrently, tropical deforestation would be expected to stop through aggresive reforestation, technological and management improvements in agricultural activities would significantly lower emissions, and a reduction in CFC use is anticipated through full compliance with the Montreal Protocol and a total phaseout of the major CFCs.
