The simulated future emissions and land use were downscaled from the regional simulation to a grid to facilitate transfer to climate models.

Based on this source list, future CH4 emission trajectories depend upon such variables as volumes of fossil fuels used in the scenarios, regional demographic and affluence developments, and assumptions on preferred diets and agricultural practices.

Still, identifying regional differences in reservoir GHG emissions remains a needed area of future research (see below section on Uncertainties and Future Research Directfuture research (see below section on Uncertainties and Future Research DirectFuture Research Directions).

However, uncertainties regarding how future emissions translate into climate change at global and regional levels remain significant, and therefore it is difficult to draw robust conclusions regarding whether a particular greenhouse gas stabilization pathway would or would not allow residual risk to be successfully managed through adaptation.

But since regional markets have reduced emissions most effectively so far, it says, a global mechanism would be the most effective means to achieve this goal in the future.
