The Brinkman Climate Change and Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN)  announces the release of a Post-2012 Information Toolkit, commissioned by the “The Netherlands Programme on Scientific Assessment and Policy Analysis for Climate Change (WAB).

The objective of the Toolkit is to provide factual underpinning for the negotiations on further commitments under the Kyoto protocol and the Climate Convention on post-2012 climate change mitigation policies .The facts and figures included in the Toolkit can assist in exchanging information, in substantiating positions and in making presentations.

The Toolkit provides graphical and numerical information on the results from various sets of publicly available climate scenario analysis and studies. The Toolkit has been built in the software package AIMMS that enables users to easily show large datasets in graphs and tables, to select variables or parameters and to create one’s own datasets or graphs in a simple way.

The Toolkit presently covers five main categories:
1.    Emission pathways and corridor analysis
2.    Baseline projections
3.    Mitigation potentials
4.    Mitigation costs
5.    Additional data (e.g. data from the study Factors Underpinning Future Action)

The Toolkit will be further developed and extended to cover issues such as LULUCF, mechanisms and adaptation.

The Toolkit, its manual and the AIMMS viewer software are now freely downloadable from the WAB website: http://www.mnp.nl/en/themasites/wab/prod…
