TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe scenarios that limit end-of-century radiative forcing to 1.9 Wm−2, and consequently restrict median warming in the year 2100 to below 1.5 W m−2.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the possible developments in global energy use and production, land use, emissions and climate changes following the SSP1 storyline, a development consistent with the green growth (or sustainable development) paradigm (a more inclusive development respecting environmental boundaries).
Journal ArticleDOI

Hof,Andries F. Hof,Mariësse A.E. van Sluisveld,Mariësse A.E. van Sluisveld +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the impact of alternative pathways that include lifestyle change, additional reduction of non-CO2 greenhouse gases and more rapid electrification of energy demand based on renewable energy.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-model study projects investment needs under countries' nationally determined contributions and in pathways consistent with achieving the 2°C and 1.5°C targets as well as certain SDGs, showing that the pronounced reallocation of the investment portfolio required to transform the energy system will not be initiated by the current suite of countries' Nationally Determined Contributions.

TL;DR: It is shown that implementation of current policies leaves a median emission gap of 22.4 to 28.2 GtCO 2 eq by 2030 with the optimal pathways to implement the well below 2 °C and 1.5C Paris goals, which shows that all countries would need to accelerate the implementation of policies for renewable technologies, while efficiency improvements are especially important in emerging countries and fossil-fuel-dependent countries.
