Emissions Gap Report 2019 published by the UN Environment Programme suggests that technical mitigation potential is: ‘…estimated for given scenarios assuming full implementation of the best available pollutant reduction technology, as it exists today, by 2030 independent of their costs but considering the technical lifetime of technologies and other key constraints (e.g., cultural acceptance) that could limit applicability of certain measures in specific regions.’
