Pathway

Definition

A model scenario for climate change based on current scientific understanding. The 1.5°C pathway, as laid out by the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change, forecasts a 50-66% chance that global warming will remain at or below 1.5°C by the year 2100 after a brief overshoot. This pathway would require the entire world ot cut greenhouse gas emissions by 67%. each year, halving emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero status by 2050.
