Whatʼs DDPP？

Tsuyoshi Fujita

Laurence Tubiana

The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) is acollaborative initiative to understand and show how
individual countries can move to a low-carbon economy
and how the world can meet the internationally agreed
target of limiting the increase in global mean surface
temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius (°C). Achieving
the 2°C limit will require that global net emissions ofgreenhouse gases (GHG) approach zero by the second
half of the century. In turn, this will require a profoundtransformation of energy systems by mid-century throughsteep declines in carbon intensity in all sectors of the economy, a transition we call “deep decarbonization.”

Akio Takemoto

DDPP is convened under the auspices of the Sustainable
Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the Institutefor Sustainable Development and International Relations(IDDRI). Currently, the DDPP comprises 15 Country
Research Teams including Japan.

Prof. Tsuyoshi Fujita graduated from the University of Tokyo. His research ﬁelds
are eco industrial development, low carbon city, urban environment simulation
system and circular economy. He is presently engaged in the national Eco-City
Initiative.

Dr. Emmanuel Guerin learned environment and development economics, andpolitical science and international relations at Sciences Po University. He has
advised many governments, including the French government and the European
Commission on their energy and climate policies. He leads the SDSN work onenergy and climate policies and manages DDPP.

Ken Oshiro

Consultant, Environment and Energy Division 1, Mizuho Information & ResearchInstitute, Inc., Japan
Mr. Ken Oshiro received MEng from Graduate School of Science and Technology,Keio University in 2009.He joined Mizuho Information & Research Institute in2010. Since 2012, he is enrolled as a PhD student in Social engineering department at Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Naoyuki Yamagishi

Ritsumeikan University, and also holds a master degree in International Relationsand Environmental Policy from Boston University. He joined WWF Japan in 2003.
Since then he has mainly worked on policy advocacy on both Japanese domestic
climate policy and international climate policy by participating UN climate negotiations as a representative from WWF Japan.

The DDPP will issue the 2014 report which presents
preliminary ﬁndings on technically feasible pathways todeep decarbonization at the Climate Leadersʼ Summit inSeptember. In the ﬁrst half of 2015, the DDPP will issue amore comprehensive report to the French Government,
host of the 21st Conference of the Parties (COP 21) of theUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC).
