The Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative aims at helping governments and non-state actors make choices that put economies and societies on track to reach a carbon neutral world by the second half of the century.

Why this initiative

It is an international collaboration of leading research teams who propose realistic pathways to deep decarbonization. Our work is based on a transparent common methodology to inform both science and policy.
