This also helped the analysis to be done in the very short time available - from February 2011 to the Durban Climate Change Conference (COP 17) at the end of the year. Over 50 Ethiopian experts from the selected sectors generated data, which the external consultants calculated BAU emissions projections for sectors that were identified to be higher sources of emissions (Table 2) and came up with possible abatement measures in those sectors and their individual marginal abatement cost. Projections for 2025 demonstrated that the current pathway for economic development will increase GHG emissions by more than 150%.
