Fig. 1: Modelled emission pathways reaching intermediate and long-term decarbonisation targets.
From: Aligning intermediate climate targets with long-term decarbonisation ambition

A Global emission pathway under 2030 NDC and LTS targets by income levels. Bold lines present global and income-groups’ emission trajectories, assuming full achievement of 2030 NDC and mid-century LTS targets. Thin lines present individual countries and major regions, covering a total of 43 regions representing the whole world. See ref. 21 for a comprehensive list of considered targets, regions and scenario rationale. Dots represent emission levels in 2035 compatible with long-term targets. B Decadal emission reductions by main strategies to decarbonise at global level. C EU emission pathway under existing and recommended 2030, 2040 and 2050 targets based on ref. 8. D Decadal emission reduction by sectors at EU level. Sources: A and B own elaboration after ref. 21; C and D own elaboration after ref. 8.
