Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
SBSTA 17 (Oct 2002)
• Work should be continued by the scientific community, in particular to
improve the robustness of the preliminary results and to explore the
uncertainty and sensitivity
• Be of a standard consistent with the practices of peer-reviewed published
science.
• The process should be inclusive, open and transparent.
• Capacity building: strongly encouraged Parties and institutions to facilitate
capacity-building in developing countries, including by hosting scientists from
developing countries
• Invited the scientific community, including IGBP, WCRP, IHDP and IPCC
to provide information on how they could contribute
• Encouraged scientists to undertake further work, to make the results of
their work publicly available and to report progress at SBSTA 20, June
2004 (side event).
• SBSTA decided to review the progress at its 23rd session (Nov 2005).

Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
MATCH process
Objective:
• Assess methods for calculating the contribution of different emission
sources (e.g. regional, national or sectoral) to climate change and its
impacts, taking into account uncertainties, and the sensitivity of the
calculations to the use of different methods, models and methodological
choices.
Outputs:
• Provide clear guidance on the implications of the use of the different
scientific methods, models, and methodological choices
• Where scientific arguments allow, recommend one method/model/choice
or several possible methods/models/choices for each step of the calculation
of contributions to climate change, taking into account scientific robustness,
practicality and data availability
• Organization of expert meetings, workshops and a coordinated modelling
exercise
• Prepare papers to be published in peer reviewed scientific journals

2. First joint paper
Analysing countries’ contribution to
climate change: Scientific choices and
methodological issues
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
Main objective of paper #1
• to summarise the studies and results so far (i.e. the
contributions to the UNFCCC initiated process)
• to present new attribution calculations with non-linear
carbon cycle and climate models using non-linear
attribution methodologies and updated historical
emissions datasets
• to investigate the effect of a range of scientific,
methodological and policy-related choices on the
attribution, but not the full range by all uncertainties.
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
Policy choices
• Policy choices refer: to parameters of which the values
can not be based on objective ‘scientific’ arguments
alone. For example, 100 year time horizon of GWPs.
The choices have to be made largely within the policy
context.
• Policy choices analysed here:
– Indicator
– Timeframes
– Emission scenarios
– Mixture of Greenhouse gases
– Attribution method

Scientific uncertainties
• Choice of the dataset on historical emissions
• Choice of the representation of the climate system

Relative contributions using different indicators
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
1. Indicators
Conclusions
• Two main factors influence results
• Whether a source emitted ‘early’ versus ‘late’
• The share of emissions of short-lived / long-lived gases.
• Choosing the right indicator is ultimately a policy choice that also
depends on the purpose of use of the results.
• Temperate increase: use evaluation date after the attribution end
date
• ‘Backward discounting’ and ‘forward looking’: ‘weighted
concentrations’ or ‘integrated temperature’
• Not ‘backward discounting’: GWP-weighted cumulative emissions
could be an option, which is simple and approximately represents
the integrated impact on temperature.

• Choosing a shorter time horizon (e.g. 1950 or 1990
instead of 1890) reduces the contributions of OECD90
countries ('early emitters') to temperature increase.

• A late end-date increases non-Annex-I contributions,
because it gives more weight to their larger future emissions.
• Impact of emissions scenarios (error bars) can be large

• A later evaluation-date raises OECD contributions due to:
(1) their large share in historical CO2 emissions (long residence time)
(2) and their small share of methane emissions (short residence time)
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
3. Attribution methods
• Normalised marginal
method - Attributes
responsibility using total
sensitivities determined
"at the margin".
• Residual (all-but-one)
method - Attributes
responsibility by leaving
out the emissions of each
region in turn.
• Time-sliced - determines
the effect of emissions
from each time as if there
were no subsequent
emissions.
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
3. Attribution methods
• The Residual method,
although simple to
implement and explain,
can be rejected on
scientific grounds (not
additive).
• The Normalised
marginal and Timesliced methods are
harder to implement
and explain. These
methods differ in how
they treat early vs. late
emissions.

regions with emissions that differ most from the average in

anthropogenic CO2 emissions, ii) Inclusion of CH4 and N2O.
• The effect is less pronounced on longer time scales (except for the shift
from fossil CO2 to total CO2).

• Fossil CO2 emissions: small differences in relative attribution
• CO2 emissions from land-use changes: differences in estimates leading
to large differences. Data sets need to be compared and improved.
• CH4 and N2O: Only one dataset is available (EDGAR)
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
2. Other scientific uncertainties
• The influence of other climate model parameters (e.g.
IRFs), based on simulation experiments with nine
GCMs and climate models is limited
• Including additional non-linearities in calculations of
methane-concentrations (IPCC-TAR atmospheric
chemistry model ) has a negligible effect on the relative
contributions
• ...
Modelling and assessment of contributions to climate change
Overall conclusions
• First summary of the work undertaken to date.
• Not a full assessment of the uncertainty range, but an evaluation of
the influence of different policy-related and scientific choices.
• The influence of scientific choices is notable. Therefore research is
ongoing (see papers #2 and #3)
• However, the current work suggests, that the impact of policy
choices, such as time horizon of emissions, climate change
indicator and greenhouse-gas mix is larger than the impact of
scientific uncertainties
• Impact of uncertainties on the relative contributions is smaller than
impact of uncertainties on the absolute changes in temperature.
• Research needs: Historical emission datasets

• Inclusion of SO2 emissions reduces the contributions from ASIA and
REF, but the effect disappear when there is a gap between attribution
end date and evaluation date.
• Again effect is less less pronounced on longer time scales

• Policy choices (start-date, indicators) are more important than
scientific uncertainties (attribution method, climate model)
