Welcome Delegates
UN Climate Summit
Your Goals
Achieve emissions reduction
commitments to stabilize GHG
levels by 2100 at a level that limits
global warming to no more than 2 C
above preindustrial levels.
Agree on a deal to share costs of
mitigation and adaptation fund to
aid less developed nations.

Task 1: Emissions
Each delegation will set its own fossil fuel emissions
targets. You will set:
In what year (if desired), will your GHG emissions
begin to fall?
In what year will GHG emissions in your bloc stop
growing (if any)?
If emissions will fall, at what rate (% per year)?
REDD policies:
Deforestation: 0 1 scale. 1 continues BAU
deforestation path, 0 gradually eliminates
deforestation over coming decades.
Afforestation: 0 1 scale. 0 = no new area
Task 2: Burden Sharing
We are creating the UN Global Fund for
Mitigation and Adaptation for
Food and water
Immigration and refugees
Disaster relief
Mitigation Investing in any necessary non-costsaving mitigation to achieve Task 1 goals
Total cost is $100 Billion per year (ramping up to
that level by 2020)
How much will you contribute?
How much should others contribute?
Terms?
