Forestry is an important contributor of CO2 emissions and, similarly to non-CO 2 gases, it might<br /> provide relatively convenient abatement opportunities. Forestry sector models differ substantially<br /> from energy-economy ones, so that normally the interaction is solved via soft link (e.g. iterative)<br /> coupling. WITCH is enhanced with baseline emissions and supply mitigation curves for reduced<br /> deforestation. The focus is on REDD given its predominant role in CO2 emissions and the policy<br /> importance of this option as stressed in the 2007 Bali Action Plan.<br />
<br />
Baseline emissions are provided by the Brent Sohngen GTM model. REDD supply mitigation cost<br /> curves have been built and made suitable to be incorporated in the WITCH model.<br /> Two versions of abatement cost curves have been incorporated in the model representing two<br /> extreme cases. The first version includes abatement curves for the whole century for the Brazilian<br /> tropical forest only and have been developed using Brazil?s data from the Woods Hole Research<br /> Center. A second version includes abatement curves for all world tropical forests,<br /> based on the Global Timber Model of Brent Sohngen, Ohio State University, used within<br /> the Energy Modeling Forum 21 and data from the IIASA cluster model.</div>Rineke Oostenrijk
