Climate map
Concerns about global warming are increasing. Scientific knowledge regarding the consequences of emissions of greenhouse gases on the global climate and the effects of climate change on society, the welfare of human beings and nature is improving. Several studies of the possibilities and costs of reducing emissions of greenhouse gases have been published. Many of these are detailed studies of specific sectors. This study is an attempt to create a first map of the global potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to contribute to a better factual basis for decision-making on many different levels. The main advantage of this study is that a consistent approach has been used across sectors and regions and we believe that new insights are provided by the results of the study. The initial data collection was done together with McKinsey & Company. All the conclusions and recommendations are the work and responsibility of Vattenfall. This is, however by no means the final answer. It could be seen as a 16th century map. We believe that we have discovered and mapped the continents and provided a rough picture of where they are and what they look like. The map is good enough to start the journey, but is in need of refinements, adjustments and more details as the journey proceeds. We therefore encourage you to send us suggestions and comments improving the climate map.
