SUMMARY OF ABBREVIATIONS<br />

A1B IPCC Climate Change Scenario A1 assumes a world of very rapid economic growth, a global<br />

population that peaks in mid-century and rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies.<br />

A1 is divided into three groups that describe alternative directions of technological change: fossil<br />

intensive (A1FI), non-fossil energy resources (A1T) and a balance across all sources (A1B).<br />

A2 IPCC climate change Scenario A2 describes a very heterogeneous world with high population<br />

growth, slow economic development and slow technological change.<br />

B1 IPCC climate change Scenario B1 describes a convergent world, with the same global population as<br />

A1, but with more rapid changes in economic structures toward a service and information economy.<br />

B2 IPCC climate change Scenario B2 describes a world with intermediate population and economic<br />

growth, emphasising local solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability.<br />
