Abstract: The realm of literature specifically dealing with the climate change problem has rapidly widened during the past decade. In this paper, we review scenarios aiming at emissions mitigation including stabilization of GHG emissions or concentrations in the atmosphere incorporated in integrated assessment modeling studies. To characterize the scenarios, first, the literature was scanned for model and mitigation scenario descriptions in order to lay out their common features. Second, stabilization scenarios from the IPCC SRES database were used for a quantitative analysis of their key results. We conclude with key observations of scenario characteristics and relationships between baseline scenarios and policies followed in the mitigation scenarios. Copyright Springer Japan 2000
