Yes and no. They exclude any deliberate attempts to cut GHG emissions
which might be made for the specific purposes of mitigating climate
change, but they include any deliberate attempts which we might make to
cut the emissions of GHGs for any other reasons (such as due to other
other environmentally disagreeable effects they might have), and they
also include the effect of any cuts that might occur as a more-or-less
incidental consequence of other policies or non-policies (energy
efficiency, energy independence, technological advances, population
changes, ...).
