Introduction

B

aselines serve as a reference point from which results or changes achieved over time can be observed and reported. These baselines are widely used in various sectors and programs including the design of policies, development programs, and activities by the national government; assessment of biodiversity preservation and conservation initiatives in the forestry and wildlife sector; and modification of strategies towards increasing financial inflow in the banking industry, among others.

In the context of climate change reporting, baselines are utilized as reference points upon which1 climate change mitigation goals are set; mitigation options are designed, analyzed, and selected; and progress of mitigation actions are assessed. In addition, baselines in the context of emissions projections are required by the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) especially for Annex I Parties or developed countries2.

As the Philippines continues its climate change mitigation initiatives towards low carbon development, baselines help to design and assess the progress and effectiveness of mitigation policies and actions by comparing its program goals and milestones against baselines information through the use of indicators. Setting a reference point for designing and implementing mitigation goals also allows for efficient utilization of resources and a more focused and sustainable approach towards achieving these goals. The consequential attainment of these goals not only addresses the challenge of reducing GHG concentration in the atmosphere but also facilitates economic advancement and promotes environmental preservation and human well-being.

This Primer on Baselines Scenario Setting seeks to provide relevant sectors guidance in formulating and setting national and sectoral baselines in line with the country’s initiatives to design and monitor its climate change mitigation actions and policies. The Philippine Climate Change Commission (CCC) and the Deutsche Gesselschaft fur Internationale Zussamenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH jointly developed this Primer based on the presentations and outputs of Ricardo Energy and the Environment (formerly Ricardo AEA) commissioned to conduct capacity building activities and provide technical support for the project Information Matters: Capacity Building for Enhanced Reporting and Facilitation of International Mutual Learning through Peer-to-Peer Exchange (Information Matters Project).

Supported by the International Climate Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB), the Information Matters Project aims to build the institutional capacity of the Philippine government through the CCC on international climate reporting especially in the preparation of National Communications (NCs) and Biennial Update Reports (BURs) in line with the country’s commitment to the UNFCCC as Party to the Convention. The Project covered four countries, namely: Chile, Dominican Republic, Ghana, and the Philippines through the support and cooperation of the United Nations Development Program – Low Emission Capacity Building Program (UNDPLECB), National Communication Support Program (NCSP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), World Resource Institute (WRI), and the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV (IMMA). Activities undertaken under the Project include Gap Analyses, Capacity Building Missions, Backstopping and Technical Support, and Peer-to-Peer Exchanges.

Baseline Scenario Setting

Basic Concepts of Baselines In assessing the potential GHG effect of a mitigation policy or measure, two scenarios are utilized: the policy scenario and baseline scenario.

POLICY SCENARIO Through the use of carefully identified assumptions and data, policy scenarios form a picture of what is most likely to happen or occur should the policy or measure in review is implementediii.

BASELINE SCENARIO Baseline scenarios, on the other hand, form a picture, through the use of carefully identified assumptions and data, of what is most likely to happen or occur should the policy or measure in review is not implemented1. Baseline scenarios are used as reference cases upon which policy scenarios are compared with, and are also usually referred to as counterfactual, reference case, reference scenario, or business-as-usual (BAU) scenario. In the context of climate change mitigation, baselines on GHG emissions are fundamental inputs in setting baseline scenarios.

BASELINE EMISSIONS Baseline emissions are projected GHG emissions and removals based on assumptions and historical data in the absence of the policy or action in review and are necessary in forming the baseline scenario. Once the baseline scenario has been set, the formulation of baseline scenario goals can be undertaken.

Emissions can be quantified annually or cumulatively.

Annual Emissions Annual emissions refer to the “quantity of emissions that occur during one year”. As such, it looks at GHG released in the atmosphere every year which helps in identifying specific sectors that contributed much to the increase or reduction of emissionsiv.

Cumulative Emissions Cumulative emissions as showed in Figure 1, refer to the “quantity of emissions that occur over a longer period of time, typically the sum of annual emissions over a multi-year period.”

This provides the trajectory of emission pathways and could be utilized in monitoring emissions throughout the goal period.ii

Identifying the starting point for tracking emissions is an essential process in baselines scenario setting. This can be done either by setting a base year or establishing a base period.

Both forms serve as a comparison point for assessing if the emission reduction goal has been reached.

BASE YEAR AND BASE YEAR EMISSIONS The base year sets a singular year as reference point from which emissions tracking begin.

Emissions calculated in the base year are referred to as base year emissions (Figure 2).

Baseline Scenario Setting

BASE PERIOD AND BASE PERIOD EMISSIONS The base period, on the other hand, calculates average GHG emissions over the course of multiple years, and is useful should there be fluctuations or outliers in emissions over the years to be analyzed. Emissions calculated in the base period are referred to as base period emissions.

MITIGATION GOALS Goals set the pace for the implementation of mitigation actions. Some goals focus solely on emission reduction while some goals also consider economic, social, environmental, and other sustainable development indicators.

Depending on GHG emissions reductions or sequestration upsurge, mitigation goals can be relative and classified according to a base year, intensity, baseline scenario, and reference level.

Table 1 provides descriptions on the types mitigation goals.

BASELINE SCENARIO GOALS Baseline scenario goals are often expressed as percentage or relative reduction of baseline emissions in a target year or target periodii. These are set depending on target emission reductions and emissions intensity and timeframe. Others express it as deviation below a projected baseline or BAU scenario.

Goal Period The goal period usually refers to the period between the base year and the target year or target period which may either be short or long termii. Short goal periods help in speeding up planning and implementation of measuresii. However, risks of losing momentum in the implementation of the climate change mitigation actions could arise when a new goal has been set after the previous goal has been reachedii. On the other hand, long goal periods allow for further improvement of measures throughout the period thereby increasing the possibility of achieving the goals even if setbacks in the implementation (i.e. natural disasters) occurii.

However, given the long period to achieve the targets, actions are often at risk of delays and procrastinationii.

Baseline Scenario Setting

Single year and Multi-year Goals Goals can either be single-year or multi-year depending on the amount of time the targets are intended to be monitored and achievedii. Single year goals as shown in Figure 3, intend to reduce emissions in a specified target year while multi-year goals are set to limit or reduce emissions over several years. Thus, the latter, as presented in Figure 4, entails a target period of when limits and reductions of emissions should be completed. This could be done by setting average targets or specific target amount annually or cumulatively.

Table 2 provides guidance in selecting mitigation goal types while Table 3 presents examples of systems that use different goal types.

Table 2. Selecting Mitigation goal types AIM

TYPE OF GOAL TO CHOOSE

Achieve absolute reduction in GHGs (e.g. Kyoto Protocol commitment)

• Base year and fixed level goals • Environmentally “robust” goals – even if there is great economic

Accommodate growth in economy or populations

• intensity goal rather than a baseline scenario goal – there is

growth, the goal still needs to be achieved

less uncertainty associated with intensity goals as these require assumptions for only one variable in addition to emissions (as opposed to projections that require assumptions about several variables as inputs to models)

Baseline Scenario Setting

Developing Baseline Scenarios

GHG EMISSIONS (Mt CO2e)

As a reference point in designing and prioritizing climate change mitigation strategies, setting up mitigation goals, and tracking progress of mitigation actions in reducing emissions, baseline scenarios provide a snapshot of how GHG emissions would most likely be in the absence of policies or measures. This baseline scenario can serve as a reference point in designing and prioritizing climate change mitigation strategies, setting up mitigation goals, and tracking progress of mitigation actions in reducing emissions. This would entail identifying assumptions, methodological aspects and spatial considerations, in addition to historical activity and emissions data ii in order to capture almost entirely the conditions surrounding the baseline scenario. Therein, baseline scenario goals which are oftentimes referred to as a percent reduction below baseline scenario emissions in a target year or target period ii could be set with the baseline scenario as reference (Figure 5).

STATIC AND DYNAMIC BASELINE SCENARIOS Baseline scenarios can be static or dynamic. Static baseline scenario goals are fixed, hence, not updated over time. Since emissions are tracked based on an unchanging target, efforts in reaching the intended reductions towards the target year can easily be tracked. Since the target does not change, there could be a guarantee that the goal will be achieved in the target year. Moreover, emissions level towards meeting the goal can be calculated exante. On the other hand, dynamic baseline scenario goals are updated based on changes in emission drivers, and thus reflect the latest “business-as-usual” scenario. However, dynamic baseline scenario goals cannot reflect the level of effort towards reaching the goal as they are consistently being updated, thus calculations for emissions at the start of the goal period exante cannot be undertaken. Moreover, since the goal changes through time, there could be no guarantee that the goal will be reached at the target year. The difference between the two baseline scenarios are illustrated in Figure 6.

Baseline scenarios incorporate assumptions in providing a picture of the potential GHG effects if there is no policy or measure in place. These assumptions or emission drivers could be other policies and measures which are foreseen to have an impact on GHG emissions and removals.

POLICIES Policies, especially in the form of regulations, drive GHG emissions and help determine the trajectory of emission goals. Using a casual chain or map is recommended in analyzing the impact of policies to emissions in each sector (Figure 7), whether for static or dynamic baseline scenarios.

MEASURES Analyzing measures is useful in examining the capacity of mitigation options to meet the intended target emission reduction. These measures could be present in each sector and implemented in a national level.

Table 4 describes various assumptions of measures. An analysis of existing measures vis-à-vis additional measures provides an overview of the mitigation potential of mitigation actions to be implemented or already being implemented.

SPATIAL CONSIDERATIONS Setting the physical boundary for policies and measures helps clearly set the boundaries of baseline scenario goals. This refers to the scale of implementation, i.e. national, regional, or local ii. These boundaries define the extent or scope of tracking emissions and enhance attribution of consequent results to the mitigation actions implemented within the boundary.

RANGE OF BASELINE SCENARIOS Given the number of drivers which could have potential impacts to GHG emissions, a number of baseline scenarios can be developed. As illustrated in Figure 8, this can be expressed in a range which indicates minimum and maximum values of emissions resulting

from different pathways as influenced by drivers such as the economy, demographics, and technology ii. Thus, events most likely to happen and the corresponding impacts to emissions can be derived from the different types of baseline scenarios formulatedii.
