EN0.2

Brief Overview: CCTP Activities Informing Decision Making

David Conover, U.S. Climate Change Technology Program/U.S. Department of Energy, david.conover@hq.doe.gov

This breakout session is tasked with identifying the information that is needed from the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) to guide and support the research, development and deployment activities related to greenhouse gas intensity reducing technologies. Part of the Climate Change Technology Program (CCTP) mission is to accelerate the development of these technologies, create options and reduce their costs, so as to facilitate progress in addressing climate change concerns. As Director of CCTP, Mr. Conover will provide an overview of the CCTP, its goals and plans, and suggest a framework for discussion by the panelists and the audience. He will start with the UNFCCC as the overarching context, which is tied to the question of determining the concentration of GHGs that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. He will note that the application of such frameworks begets further complexities and many different variables, which CCSP research can help to illuminate.
