Three scenarios were developed to assess the options that states have to reduce their emissions: (1) a Baseline Scenario («business as usual») that projected emissions in 2030 without any policy changes, (2) the Primary Scenario that will achieve the 45 % reduction from 1990 levels, and (3) an Accelerated Scenario that examines options for ambitious states that want to lead the region in reducing emissions.

Even so, and starting with a worldwide baseline of 16 % undernourishment (people at risk from hunger) in 1990 (and about 14 % today), they forecast its prevalence to decline sharply by 2080, to about 1 % to 1.5 % in all other scenarios, and only 6 % for A2 (totally explained by the weird population assumptions in A2).
