Correction note
The 'ENZ results used for Tech Annex' XLSX sheet was updated on 14 August:
- The file (ENZ results used for the Tech Annex) uploaded to the website on 1 August 2024 did not include the incremental annual impact of differences between 2023 projections and the 2024 interim baseline for EB2 (2026-2030). The correct file was added to the website on 14 August 2024.
This discussion document was updated on 19 July to:
- clarify the meaning of footnote 9 on page 16 that the potential abatement of options for further agricultural emissions reductions in table 0.2 are not included within the projected emissions reductions of policies included in table 0.1
- correct a typographical error on page 59.
