It is for this reason that the scenario framework distinguishes between «pathways,» which describe one component (such as RCPs or SSPs) of integrated scenarios, and «scenarios» themselves, which combine pathways with other information such as emissions, climate projections and policy assumptions to produce integrated descriptions of future climate and human system development.

Eliminating these subsidies to focus on social spending, including a comparatively more modest investment in renewable technologies, offers one potential policy pathway to more cohesive and cleaner societies, that could meet existing climate targets.

The inconvenient truth here is that America's environmental activists refuse to acknowledge that they now have a clear public policy pathway available to them for achieving the steep emission reductions they desire, a pathway they can travel reasonably quickly and reasonably successfully without undue hindrance from climate science skeptics.

• Provide a clear, evidence - based explanation of the role played by different parts of the energy sector in causing air pollution • Present detailed projections of the energy sector and related air quality pathways in different countries and sectors, based on known energy, climate and air quality policies, and the key implications for policymakers • Identify additional policy measures that can materially improve the outlook for energy - related air pollution, examining both the co-benefits and trade - offs with other energy and climate objectives • Based on analysis of different policy options, distil the key findings of the report into a clear set of implications and recommendations for policymakers

This implies that policy makers should take to heart the WEO's main conclusion regarding climate change policies: We need to take action that goes much beyond current policies to get anywhere near a safe pathway with respect to energy security and climate change.

At the same time, IAMs will explore a range of different technological, socio - economic and policy futures that could lead to a particular concentration pathway and magnitude of climate change.

Some of these new projections explicitly consider climate policies that would result in emissions reductions, which the SRES set did not.9, 10 The newest set includes both lower and higher pathways than did the previous set.

«The EU has to redo its homework and set out a pathway to meet stricter energy efficiency and renewables targets,» said Greenpeace EU's climate policy adviser, Bram Claeys.
