Sentences with phrase «.6 low emissions scenario»

Not exact matches

The numbers here relate to the IPCC's lowest emissions scenario, RCP2.6, which was specifically designed to show how warming can be limited to two degrees.

The radiative forcing estimates are based on the forcing of greenhouse gases and other forcing agents.5 The four selected RCPs were considered to be representative of the literature, and included one mitigation scenario leading to a very low forcing level (RCP2.6), two medium stabilization scenarios (RCP4.5 / RCP6) and one very high baseline emission scenarios (RCP8.5).

In general, the lowest emissions are found for the scenario with the most stringent climate policy (RCP2.6) and the highest for the scenario without climate policy (RCP8.5), although this does not apply to all regions, at all times.

Projections from process - based models of global mean sea level (GMSL) rise relative to 1986 — 2005 as a function of time for two scenarios — RCP2.6, a low emissions scenario, and RCP 8.5, a high emissions scenario.

For the lowest emissions scenario RCP2.6 (which involves drastic emissions reductions starting in a few years and leading to zero global emissions by 2070, after that active removal of CO2 from the atmosphere) the best estimate sea - level rise by the year 2100 given by IPCC is 44 cm.

For the future, the IPCC projections for very high emissions (red, RCP8.5 scenario) and very low emissions (blue, RCP2.6 scenario) are shown.
