Example: GHG reduction through efficient cookstoves | Example: Recycling electronics | What is specific or generic about it? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desired 1. Desired end state | Climate stability | Environment without toxic materials. Fair and effective use of limited resources (e.g. metals). | |
2. SDG alligned aligned to desired end state | SDG 13: combat climate change and its impacts | SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns | |
3. Causal model related to the end state | "GHG emissions lead to climate change" | If dumped in landfills, incinerated or incorrectly recycled, toxic materials from electronic devices are released into the environment. | |
4. Target intermediate states and activities | Limit GHG emissions | Target 12.5 "By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse" | |
| 5. Activity and state metrics | Express GHG emissions in terms of the global warming potential of 1 tonne of CO2 CO2 over 100 years | Mass of E-Waste recycled % of all E-Waste recycled | |
6. Agent responsibility model and entity demarcation | Households own and operate cookstoves | Cities and municipalities operate waste services within their jurisdiction | The principles according to which agents are identified and entities and activities are demarcated are probably fairly generic. |
7. Comparisons (counterfactual or real) | Households are assumed to optimise their utility but established patterns have a certain inertia. It is assumed that adoption of new stoves will take place if there are no barriers to such adoptions. | Methods for establishing scenarios are also probably very generic | |
8. Data transformations | A specific methodology will typically prescribe the calculation procedures | All transformations have to be rational and repeatable | |
9. Data gathering | A specific methodology will typically prescribe the calculation procedures. | Scientific methods of observation and measurement have wide application and acceptance |
