9.4 Assessment of mitigation options
In this section, a conceptual framework for the assessment of mitigation options is introduced and specific options are briefly described. Literature results are summarized and compared for regional bottom-up approaches, global forest sector models, and global top-down integrated model approaches. The assessment is limited to CO2 balances and economic costs of the various mitigation options. Broader issues including biodiversity, sustainable development, and interactions with adaptation strategies are discussed in subsequent sections.
