International Panel on Climate Change

Union of Concerned Scientists
Completed July 2007

Synapse reviewed and critiqued IPCC WGIII draft reports- chapters 4, 5, 11, 13 to understand the reports’ underlying assumptions on costs and reduction potential of different policies and measures in the energy and transportation sectors. Synapse also conducted a literature review of U.S. and international studies to develop a more realistic range of costs and reduction potentials.
