- Very HighWe do nothing, emissions double→ +4.4°C
- HighWe delay action, emissions keep rising→ +3.6°C
- IntermediateWe hold emissions flat until 2050, then slowly cut→ +2.7°C
- LowWe take strong action starting now→ +1.8°C
- Very LowWe act fast, reach net-zero by 2050→ +1.5°C
About the science
The period 2011–2020 was approximately 1.1°C warmer than 1850–1900. The five scenarios shown ( SSP1-1.9 to SSP5-8.5) represent different possible futures based on societal choices about emissions. Each is backed by comprehensive climate modeling from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.
