Toward CO 2 Stabilization: Issues, Strategies, and Consequences SCOPE-GCP Synthesis Activity Book Presentation: COP9-Milan, Dec03 Publication: February 2004 Integrated Synthesis 1. current status and past trends of the carbon cycle; 2. vulnerabilities in the carbon cycle in the 21 st Century; 3. scenarios, targets, gaps and costs 4. a portfolio of carbon management options; 5. CO 2 stabilization pathways and sustainable Earth System Topics :

11. Vulnerability of carbon pools in the earth system Grubber et al. 2004 (from SCOPE-GCP rapid assessment) Compile a catalogue of vulnerable C pools and their global distribution. Quantify the extent of these vulnerable pools and their C content. Assess the processes affecting the balance and release of C (incl. “thresholds) Analyze the impacts of C release from vulnerable pools on a[CO 2 ] and climate NCEAS proposal 2004, submitted

13. Workshop Series (2004 – 2007): Coupling the human dimensions to the climate-carbon system In preparation Title: Coupling biophysical and human dimensions of the carbon cycle. Goal : To identify and develop key methods, models, process knowledge and interactions necessary to treat the global carbon cycle as a coupled carbon-climate-human system. Topics: Dynamical-system and game-theory approaches. Models of Intermediate Complexity Integrative Assessment Models Institutional dimensions Technological opportunities and constraints Conceptual Frameworks Scenarios-based approaches
