Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios, MAPS
Provides support for the development of climate change mitigation scenarios
MAPS is a process guidance methodology towards a national approach to greenhouse gas reduction. This multi-stakeholder approach identifies research based scenarios. These scenarios are designed to produce the information and options required by decision-makers to formulate national approaches to greenhouse gas reduction.
The stakeholders involved in this bottom-up process are experts in different disciplines that are required to come up with a solid scenario and should be government mandated. MAPS will provide support in the form of scenario modelling, research, process design, stakeholder management, and in some cases financial resources as well.
