Les nouveaux scénarios pour l’analyse des politiques climatiques Stéphane Hallegatte CIRED, Météo-France, Banque Mondiale
Des scénarios socio-économiques pour évaluer le coût du changement climatique Les impacts du changement climatique et les coûts d’adaptation dépendent de l’intensité du changement climatique. Mais aussi des évolutions socio-économiques: Quelle part de la population vit dans l’extrême pauvreté? Quelle est la part de l’agriculture vivrière dans les pays pauvres? Quelle part de la population vit en ville? De quelles technologies d’adaptation disposons-nous? …
Des scénarios socio-économiques pour évaluer le coût des politiques de réduction des émissions Les coûts des réductions d’émissions dépendent aussi des évolutions socio-économiques: Quelle est la population mondiale? Quelles sont les technologies disponibles? Quels modes de consommation? Quels développements économiques? Quelles réserves de pétrole et de charbon? …

Pourquoi de nouveaux scénarios? On a besoin: De scénarios qui tiennent compte des nouvelles évolutions socio-économiques De scénarios avec des baselines et des scénarios de réduction d’émission De scénarios pertinents pour l’étude de l’adaptation et les impacts De scénarios qui vont au delà de 2100 On construit un produit (des scénarios), mais surtout un processus pour organiser la recherche dans le domaine.

Couvrir les différents futurs possibles pour explorer l’incertitude
Les SSPs, d’après la réunion de Boulder (Nov 2-4, 2011)
Couvrir les différents futurs possibles pour explorer l’incertitude
SSP1 Haute capacité d’adaptation, Haute capacité d’atténuation Le monde est caractérisé par la coopération internationale, et le développement durable est une priorité Monde fortement régulé, orienté vers l’environnement et le développement.
SSP2 Capacité d’adaptation moyenne, capacité d’atténuation moyenne Un monde caractérisé par la continuation des tendances actuelles Nombreuses vues contradictoires sur les déterminants de ce scénario Plusieurs SSP2???
SSP3 Faible capacité d’adaptation, faible capacité d’atténuation Un monde caractérisé par la compétition entre pays, et par une croissance économique lente. Politiques orientées vers la sécurité, barrières commerciales, peu d’efforts pour protéger l’environnement.
SSP4 Faible capacité d’adaptation, Haute capacité d’atténuation Monde très inégal, à l’intérieur et entre les pays. Une petite élite mondiale est responsable de l’essentiel des émissions de GES. La plus grande partie de la population reste pauvre et vulnérable au changement climatique. Governance et mondialisation sont efficaces, mais contrôlées par les élites, et à leur service.
SSP5 Haute capacité d’adaptation, Faible capacité d’atténuation Développement “conventionnel”, orienté vers la croissance économique et les MDGs. La préférence pour une croissance rapide conduit à une forte dépendance aux carburants fossiles. La croissance permet d’atteindre des MDGs et de fournir les services nécessaires aux populations des pays en voie de développement.

Definition of 5 SSP spaces with 4 thresholds The definition of SSP spaces is arbitrary. Here we choose thresholds so that 1/3 of the scenarios are below the first threshold and 1/3 are above the second threshold. That’s how Rob defines spaces in his scenario discovery analysis. The PRIM (Patient Rule Induction Method) analysis is used to find out the main drivers that best explain why scenarios are inside a box (density), but also why they are not outside the box (coverage). Density is the fraction of scenarios that are in the box and associated with the SSP drivers. Coverage is the fraction of all scenarios with the SSP drivers and contained in the box
of low C technologies (2 options) Availability of fossil fuels Main drivers according to the PRIM analysis Equity (2 options) Conver-gence (3 options) Energy sobriety Availability of low C technologies (2 options) Availability of fossil fuels Population (3 options) Capital markets Coverage/Density SSP1 (15% of cases) improved Fast or medium high Medium or low 50% / 80% SSP2 (10% of cases) Medium or slow low 30% / 60% SSP3 (14% of cases) worsen High or medium 55% / 90% SSP4 (8% of cases) slow 90% / 85% SSP5 (6% of cases) fast Reduced imbalances 60% / 45% Equity contribute strongly to all the SSPs because this driver has a direct impact on the capacity to adapt axis, since it was used to calculate the indicator the “energy sobriety” driver has a strong impact on the capacity to mitigate, since it directly influences CO2 emissions in the baseline. It also influences the capacity to adapt because energy sobriety leads to higher GDP, i.e. to less poverty. (In scenarios with high energy sobriety, energy prices are lower, accelerating GDP growth) The impact of population on the indicators is ambiguous and not always significant. Indeed, a higher population growth rate implies higher potential economic growth in the model, so that adaptation capacity might increase. Moreover, higher economic growth accelerates capital turnover and increases the share of low-carbon technologies, thus increasing mitigation capacity. The results show, however, that a high population is inconsistent with SSP1 and that a low population is inconsistent with SSP3 The non significant impact of fossil fuel availability is due to two contradictory effects: On the one hand, a constrained oil supply induces substitution toward coal, which emits more CO2 for the same energy service. On the other hand, it also induces higher energy prices, which trigger faster energy efficiency. In the same way, low-carbon technologies contribute to only two SSPs because they tend to slow down energy efficiency through lower energy prices, which lessens their effect on carbon emissions.
The issue of relevant indicators = GDP cost to reach 550ppm The issue of relevant indicators = share of jobs in agriculture

Downscaling at local scale: an application on Paris Stéphane Hallegatte Avec Vincent Viguié et Julie Rozenberg CIRED et Météo-France
Modelling urban form over the very long term? The NEDUM2D model Standard urban economics modelling (Alonso 1964, Mills 1967). Three mechanisms : Household tradeoff: Lower transportation costs and shorter commuting time when living close to the city center; and Larger dwellings and lower rent per square meter in remote areas Investors optimize housing density as a function of rents and construction costs. Different evolution timescales for rents, population density, buildings etc. Simplifying hypotheses : All households have the same income; One trip per day towards the city center; One city center.

AC high-density scenario Input for adaptation policy analysis: Adapting to high temperature and air conditioning Vulnerability to the 2003 heat wave, depending on urban forms and the use of AC. Heat stess (outdoor, shadow) in number of hours. Current Paris AC high-density scenario AC low-density scenario 1. Using AC has a negative impact on outdoor heat stress. 2. A high-density city appears more vulnerable to heat wave than a low-density city.
