Keyßer, L.T., Lenzen, M. 1.5°C degrowth scenarios suggest the need for new mitigation pathways. Nat Commun

Objective:

• How degrowth scenarios perform compared with IPCC SR1.5 IAM scenario archetypes regarding key relative risk indicators for feasibility and sustainability

Case:

• Global

Methodology:

• Scenario simulation

Data Source

• IEA: Energy demand
• CDIAC, FAOSTAT: CO2 emission

Findings:

• Degrowth pathways exhibit the lowest relative risks for feasibility and sustainability when compared with established IPCC SR1.5 pathways using socio-technological indicators
