New pathways to 1.5°C: interpreting the IPCC’s Working Group III scenarios in the context of the Paris Agreement
Gaurav Ganti, Dr Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, Bill Hare
In total, the IPCC's Working Group III report assessed 97 pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C, adding to our understanding of the options and conditions for achieving the necessary emissions reductions. We take a closer look at how 1.5°C compatible pathways are defined in the IPCC AR6 report and why this matters.

The 1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement is now widely accepted as the goal towards which climate policy is working. The science behind the goal is extensive and the Agreement’s language is precise. We explain how it should be interpreted.

Europe has a plethora of tools at its disposal from heat pumps to induction stoves that can immediately increase energy security and cut emissions. Member states and European citizens only need to start implementing them.
