  • Developing countries cap CO2 emissions in 2020 and reduce them by 7% annually staring in 2025
  • Developing country emission reductions are enabled by technology transfer and funding from developed countries
  • Major reductions in deforestation and increases in tree planting
  • (Note: The video uses the C-ROADS model, which has greater functionality than C-LEARN. In the "Actions" tab of this plan, the emission reductions described in the video are translated into the appropritae C-LEARN inputs).
