The Deep Decarbonization Pathways is an initiative led by IDDRI that aims 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.

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.

The Network

We are a global network of in-country experts who share common scientific methods.
We ground our national and international engagement on the principles of being
country-driven, country-led, country-owned.
