The rest of the report is organized along the following lines. The next section provides background on Poland's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Then section B sets out Poland's existing carbon abatement targets and key policy challenges related to GHG mitigation. The next section summarizes the innovative methodological approach used by the report. Section D discusses the methods and implications of constructing business-as-usual or reference scenarios. Section E provides the major findings from the first model, the engineering approach, on the costs of measures aimed at GHG mitigation for Poland. Section F explains how these findings are expanded and revised by incorporation into the first macroeconomic model. Section G provides an analysis of the economic impact through 2020 of mitigation measures within the constraints of European Union (EU) policy arrangements. Section H examines the energy sector and how Section E's findings are enhanced by optimization of the structure of the energy sector. Section I takes a first look at the challenges of energy efficiency. Section J provides additional analysis of the transport sector. The last section provides some notes on additional issues and further work.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENT COSTSABATEMENT OPTIONSABATEMENT POLICIESABATEMENT POTENTIALACIDACID PRODUCTIONAIRALLOCATIONALUMINUMAMMONIAANNUAL EMISSIONSANTHROPOGENIC GREENHOUSEANTHROPOGENIC GREENHOUSE GASESAPPROACHARCTIC OCEANATMOSPHEREATMOSPHERIC CONCENTRATIONSAUCTIONAVAILABILITYBASELINE EMISSIONSBIOMASSBROMINECALCULATIONCAPSCARBONCARBON ABATEMENTCARBON CAPTURECARBON CONSTRAINTSCARBON DIOXIDECARBON ECONOMYCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON LEAKAGECARBON MARKETCARBON PATHCARBON PRICECARBON TAXCARBON TAXESCH4CHEMICAL PROCESSESCHLORINECLEAN ENERGYCLEAN TECHNOLOGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE POLICIESCLIMATE POLICYCLIMATE PROTECTIONCLIMATE SYSTEMCOCO2COALCOAL PLANTCOLORSCOMBUSTIONCONSUMPTION OF ENERGYCONVERGENCECORAL REEFSCOSTS OF ABATEMENTCRUDE OILDEFORESTATIONDEMAND FOR ENERGYDISCOUNT RATESDISTRICT HEATINGDOMESTIC ABATEMENTDOMESTIC COALDONOR COMMUNITYDROUGHTECONOMIC ADJUSTMENTECONOMIC COSTSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMIC IMPACTSECONOMIC RECOVERYEFFICIENCY GAINSEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSELECTRIC POWERELECTRICITYELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRICESELECTRICITY SECTOREMISSIONEMISSION ABATEMENTEMISSION ALLOWANCESEMISSION BASELINEEMISSION CAPEMISSION CONSTRAINTSEMISSION GROWTHEMISSION LEVELEMISSION LEVELSEMISSION PRICINGEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSION TARGETSEMISSION TRADINGEMISSIONSEMISSIONS ABATEMENTEMISSIONS FROM AGRICULTUREEMISSIONS GROWTHEMISSIONS INTENSITYEMISSIONS LEVELSEMISSIONS MITIGATIONEMISSIONS POLICYEMISSIONS PROFILEEMISSIONS PROJECTIONSEMISSIONS REDUCTIONEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSEMISSIONS TARGETSEMPLOYMENTENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY ECONOMICSENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY INFORMATION ADMINISTRATIONENERGY INTENSITYENERGY MIXENERGY POLICYENERGY PRICESENERGY PRODUCTIONENERGY SECURITYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY USEENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSF-GASESFEASIBILITYFERROUS METALSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFLOODSFLUORINEFORESTRYFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL USEFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL FOR POWER GENERATIONFUEL PRICESFUGITIVE EMISSIONSGASIFICATIONGENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELGHGGHGSGLOBAL EMISSIONSGLOBAL WARMINGGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE EFFECTGREENHOUSE EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORYGREENHOUSE GAS MITIGATIONGREENHOUSE GASESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHALOCARBONSHEATHEAVY INDUSTRYHURRICANESHYDROFLUOROCARBONSHYDROLOGYICE SHEETSINCOMEINTERNATIONAL EMISSIONSINVESTMENT DECISIONSINVESTMENTS IN ENERGY EFFICIENCYIPCCIRONLAND USELAND USE CHANGELAND-USE CHANGELOW-CARBONMARGINAL ABATEMENTMARGINAL ABATEMENT COSTMARGINAL COSTMARGINAL COST OF ABATEMENTMARKET DISTORTIONSMARKET ECONOMYMETHANEMOUNTAIN GLACIERSN2ONATIONAL ACCOUNTSNATURAL GASNET COSTNITROUS OXIDENUCLEAR ENERGYNUCLEAR POWERNUCLEAR POWER PLANTSOIL EQUIVALENTOIL PRODUCTSOZONEPERFLUOROCARBONSPETROCHEMICALSPHOTOVOLTAIC POWERPOLAR ICEPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY SCENARIOSPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANTSPOWER SECTORPOWER STATIONSPPPRECIPITATIONPRELIMINARY ESTIMATESPRESENT VALUERADIATIVE FORCINGRAINRAINFALLRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESREVENUE RECYCLINGSCENARIOSSOLAR POWERSUBSTITUTIONTEMPERATURETOTAL EMISSIONSTRADE SYSTEMTRANSACTIONS COSTSTRANSPORT SECTORTROPICAL CYCLONESTROPICAL REGIONSWINDWIND POWERReportWorld Bank10.1596/27419
