==Evaluation of emission reductions on country level== | |||
The policy evaluation module was used for determining the emission reductions resulting from the pledges made for 2020 ([[Den Elzen et al., 2012b]]). Here, as an example, the results for Brazil are presented (see Figure above). In 2011, Brazil provided a new, higher estimate for its business-as-usual emissions, against which its 36% to 39% reduction pledge is to be applied. The total pledge for all greenhouse gas emissions (including emissions from deforestation) lead to reductions of 20% to 24% according to the PBL/IIASA BAU emission projections. | The policy evaluation module was used for determining the emission reductions resulting from the pledges made for 2020 ([[Den Elzen et al., 2012b]]).

==Contribution of pledges in global climate target== | |||
The global pathfinder module was used to determine what effect the pledges for 2020 have on the global pathway for meeting the 2 °C target ([[Van Vliet et al., 2012]]). The main findings were: | The global pathfinder module was used to determine what effect the pledges for 2020 have on the global pathway for meeting the 2 °C target ([[Van Vliet et al., 2012]]).
