Variability in historical emissions trends suggests a need for a wide range of global scenarios and regional analyses
Long-term developments in carbon dioxide emissions have tracked the middle of projected emission scenario ranges over the past three decades. If this tendency continues, it seems increasingly less…
Decarbonising the critical sectors of aviation, shipping, road freight and industry to limit warming to 1.5–2°C
Limiting warming to well below 2°C requires rapid and complete decarbonisation of energy systems. We compare economy-wide modelling of 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios with sector-focused analyses of four…
