The window for action is rapidly closing
65% of our carbon budget compatible with a 2 C goal already
used

Remaining:
275

Budget:

Stabilization of atmospheric concentrations requires moving away
from the baseline – regardless of the mitigation goal
~3 C
Source: AR5 WGIII SPM
The sooner we act, the easier and the cheaper it will be to reach a
given temperature goal
Source: AR5 WGIII SPM
Emission patterns would need to change throughout the economy
Balancing sinks and sources and long-term low greenhouse gas
emission development strategies (Article 4)
Note: One illustrative scenario with a 65% probability of getting below 2 C warming
Source: Derived
from AR5 database
Limiting Temperature Increase to 2˚C
Measures exist to achieve the substantial emissions
reductions required to limit likely warming to 2°C
A combination of adaptation and substantial, sustained reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions can limit climate change risks
Implementing reductions in greenhouse gas emissions poses
substantial technological, economic, social, and institutional
challenges
But delaying mitigation will substantially increase the
challenges associated with limiting warming to 2°C
Source: AR5 WGI, WGII and WGIII SPMs
Mitigation Measures
More efficient use of energy
Greater use of low-carbon and no-carbon energy
• Many of these technologies exist today
Improved carbon sinks
• Reduced deforestation and improved forest management
and planting of new forests
• Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage
Lifestyle and behavioural changes
Source: AR5 WGIII SPM
Ambitious Mitigation Is Affordable
➜ Economic growth reduced by ~ 0.06% (BAU growth 1.6 - 3%)
➜ This translates into delayed and not forgone growth
➜ Estimated cost does not account for the benefits of reduced
climate change
➜ Unmitigated climate change would create increasing risks to
economic growth
➜ Opportunities for economic diversification

Mitigation Measures More efficient use of energy Greater use of low-carbon and no-carbon energy • Many of these technologies exist today Improved carbon sinks • Reduced deforestation and improved forest management and planting of new forests • Bio-energy with carbon capture and storage Lifestyle and behavioural changes Source: AR5 WGIII SPM
  • 10. Ambitious Mitigation Is Affordable ➜ Economic growth reduced by ~ 0.06% (BAU growth 1.6 - 3%) ➜ This translates into delayed and not forgone growth ➜ Estimated cost does not account for the benefits of reduced climate change ➜ Unmitigated climate change would create increasing risks to economic growth ➜ Opportunities for economic diversification Source: AR5 WGI and WGII SPMs
