|Description=In a baseline scenario, most greenhouse gas emissions tend to increase, driven by an increase in underlying activity levels (This is shown in the figure below for a baseline scenario for the [[Roads from Rio+20 (2012) project|Rio+20]] study ([[PBL, 2012]]). For air pollutants, the pattern also depends strongly on the assumptions on air pollution control. In most baseline scenarios, air pollutant emissions tend to decrease, or at least stabilise, in the coming decades as a result of more stringent environmental standards in high and middle income countries.

* Introduction of climate policy, which leads to systemic changes in the energy system (less combustion) and thus, indirectly to reduced emissions of air pollutants ([[Van Vuuren et al., 2006]]).  
* Introduction of climate policy, which leads to systemic changes in the energy system (less combustion) and thus, indirectly to reduced emissions of air pollutants ([[Van Vuuren et al., 2006]]).  
* Policy interventions can be mimicked by introducing an alternative formulation of emission factors to the standard formulations ({{abbrTemplate|EKC}}, {{abbrTemplate|CLE}}). For instance, emission factors can be used to deliberately include maximum feasible reduction measures.
