Supplementary notes

The Current Trajectory scenario is based on current energy policies and decarbonization targets, assuming that carbon emissions will peak in the mid-2020s and decrease by around 25 percent by 2050. The Net Zero scenario explores a shift in policies and societal behaviors and the introduction of new technologies that would drive carbon emissions to decrease by 95 percent by 2050.
