Abstract

This report provides an overview of the current scientific understanding of observed and projected global climate change, with an emphasis on the evidence behind these global processes and their impacts. It also summarizes the frameworks for carbon reduction targets, describes the goals and targets of a sample of electrical utilities, and summarizes the characteristics of these utilities, such as size, fuel source, history, or target setting, and how it relates to their emissions. Findings were used in TEP’s Integrated Resource Plan (June 2020). Results were also presented to the AZ Corporations Commission.
