Fig. 6: Risks of all the 22 potential barriers.

From: Perceived feasibility and potential barriers of a net-zero system transition among Japanese experts

Each risk is a multiplication of the perceived impact by the perceived probability. The jittered points represent individual answers whereas the boxplots reveal the summary distributions. Each box represents the 25 percentile, 50 percentile (median) (vertical line in the box), and 75 percentile of risk for each potential barrier. The lines can extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range beyond either the 25 percentile or 75th percentile values. The color of the box represents our own assessment of the relative difficulty of including each factor in quantitative modeling assessments.
