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
