2C scenario map

Caption

Modelling highlights the reliance on controversial carbon dioxide removal or CCS (size of circle) of various growth pathways to limit global warming, compared to 'degrowth' , which is on track to achieve climate targets under historical trends, i.e. minimal technological changes (small black dots near zero). Scenarios include: Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs); Full NETs; No Net Negative Emissions (NoNNE) where only residual emissions from cement and flaring are removed; increased renewable energy (RE); energy efficiency/GDP decoupling (Dec); ClimateAnalytics assumptions and Utopian technology transformation.
