Fig. 6: Tipping risk assessed by adherence to the net zero greenhouse gas (NZGHG) criterion.
From: Achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions critical to limit climate tipping risks
Each point represents one temperature percentile (10–90%) of a scenario and is coloured by the peak temperature increase. Scenarios were grouped by their adherence to NZGHG (‘NZGHG’: reach NZGHG emissions by 2100 and maintain NZGHG emissions in the long term; ‘No-long-term-NZGHG’: reach NZGHG emissions by 2100, but do not maintain NZGHG emissions in the long term; ‘No-NZGHG’: do not reach NZGHG emissions by 2100) and assessed for both investigated timeframes. Point size is fixed. White boxes indicate the medium-term, grey boxes the long-term, with the upper and lower box edges of the boxplots corresponding to the interquartile ranges of the 25th and 75th percentiles of points per class and the line denoting the median.
