These projections cover emissions from energy and industrial
sources as well as those from forest harvesting, scrub clearance
for new planting, wild fires and prescribed burning. They assume:
no additional policy measures;
GDP growth of 3 percent per year; and
new forest plantings of 70,000 hectares per year up to 2005 AD,
falling to 55,000 hectares per year thereafter.
The 1994 policy target of reducing net emissions to 1990 levels
by the year 2000 and maintaining them thereafter is currently being
reassessed and different targets may be set for the period for the
period beyond 2000.
