Sentences with phrase «emissions trajectories consistent»

- The 2 °C Scenario (2DS) lays out an energy system pathway and a CO2 emissions trajectory consistent with at least a 50 % chance of limiting the average global temperature increase to 2 °C by 2100.

Not exact matches

It's put climate change leaders in a variety of key positions, made climate change a priority in initiatives in departments and agencies, revitalized the US Global Change Research Program and other interagency efforts, working with other major emitting countries, both industrialized and developing, to build technology cooperation and individual and joint climate policies consistent with avoiding the unmanageable, and is working with Congress — and this is the toughest part really — working with Congress to get comprehensive energy and climate legislation that will put us on a responsible emissions trajectory.

In the New Policies Scenario, the world is on a trajectory that results in a level of emissions consistent with a long - term average temperature increase of more than 3.5 °C.

The domestic mitigation effort is defined so as to match the rapid decline needed to put the EU on course toward 90 % reductions relative to 1990 levels by 2050, consistent with the emission trajectory for Annex I countries presented in Figure 3 above.

These data sets can then be incorporated into any modelling exercise, providing consistent parameters for each emissions trajectory, and a consistent foundation for all climate modelling teams anywhere in the world.

The main purpose of the first phase (development of the RCPs) is to provide information on possible development trajectories for the main forcing agents of climate change, consistent with current scenario literature allowing subsequent analysis by both Climate models (CMs) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs).1 Climate modelers will use the time series of future concentrations and emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants and land - use change from the four RCPs in order to conduct new climate model experiments and produce new climate scenarios as part of the parallel phase.

This puts emissions on a long - term trajectory consistent with stabilizing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at around 650 parts per million CO2 equivalent, suggesting a long - term temperature rise of over 3.5 [degrees Celsius].»

GHG emission trajectories that are consistent with the goal of keeping global warming below 1.5 or 2ºC, translate into a global carbon budget that represents a de-facto emissions cap for the whole economy.

The Golden Rules Case puts CO2 emissions on a long - term trajectory consistent with stabilising the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse - gas emissions at around 650 parts per million, a trajectory consistent with a probable temperature rise of more than 3.5 degrees Celsius (°C) in the long term, well above the widely accepted 2 °C target.
