* Slightly postponing mitigation action (the potential Copenhagen scenario) compared to the least-cost scenario seems technically feasible, although at higher cumulative discounted mitigation costs;

* For an even longer delay (the current Copenhagen scenario), the [[FAIR-SiMCaP model]] cannot fully compensate the higher emission level in the short term;

* A delay in emission reductions limits the flexibility in the portfolio of emission reduction options. Such delayed scenarios rely more on the use of bio-energy with carbon capture and storage ([[BECCS]]), an option with uncertain prospects for large-scale implementation.
