The representative concentration pathways: an overview
Detlef P. van Vuuren,Detlef P. van Vuuren,Jae Edmonds,Mikiko Kainuma,Keywan Riahi,Allison M. Thomson,Kathy Hibbard,George C. Hurtt,George C. Hurtt,Tom Kram,Volker Krey,Jean-Francois Lamarque,Toshihiko Masui,Malte Meinshausen,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Nebojsa Nakicenovic,Steven J. Smith,Steven K. Rose +17 more
TL;DR: The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) as discussed by the authors is a set of four new pathways developed for the climate modeling community as a basis for long-term and near-term modeling experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The RCP greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions from 1765 to 2300
Malte Meinshausen,Malte Meinshausen,Steven J. Smith,Katherine Calvin,John S. Daniel,Mikiko Kainuma,Jean-Francois Lamarque,Ken'ichi Matsumoto,Ken'ichi Matsumoto,Stephen A. Montzka,Sarah C. B. Raper,Keywan Riahi,Allison M. Thomson,Guus J. M. Velders,D.P. van Vuuren,D.P. van Vuuren +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the greenhouse gas concentrations for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and their extensions beyond 2100, the Extended ConcentrationPathways (ECPs), are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Greenhouse-gas emission targets for limiting global warming to 2 °C
Malte Meinshausen,Nicolai Meinshausen,William Hare,Sarah C. B. Raper,Katja Frieler,Reto Knutti,David J. Frame,Myles R. Allen +7 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive probabilistic analysis aimed at quantifying GHG emission budgets for the 2000–50 period that would limit warming throughout the twenty-first century to below 2 °C, based on a combination of published distributions of climate system properties and observational constraints is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paris Agreement climate proposals need a boost to keep warming well below 2 °C
Joeri Rogelj,Joeri Rogelj,Michel G.J. den Elzen,Niklas Höhne,Taryn Fransen,Hanna Fekete,Harald Winkler,Roberto Schaeffer,Fu Sha,Keywan Riahi,Keywan Riahi,Malte Meinshausen,Malte Meinshausen +12 more
TL;DR: Substantial enhancement or over-delivery on current INDCs by additional national, sub-national and non-state actions is required to maintain a reasonable chance of meeting the target of keeping warming well below 2 degrees Celsius.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming caused by cumulative carbon emissions towards the trillionth tonne
Myles R. Allen,David J. Frame,Chris Huntingford,Chris D. Jones,Jason Lowe,Malte Meinshausen,Nicolai Meinshausen +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that the peak warming caused by a given cumulative carbon dioxide emission is better constrained than the warming response to a stabilization scenario, and policy targets based on limiting cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide are likely to be more robust to scientific uncertainty than emission-rate or concentration targets.
