Article
2024
This paper analyses the role that AFOLU (agriculture, forest and other land use) plays in national deep decarbonization scenarios in Brazil, India and Indonesia between 2020 and 2050. It finds that the LULUCF (land use, land use change and forestry) subsector is important for medium-term mitigation (2020–2030) while continuing to contribute to mitigation over the long-term (2030–2050) in the three countries. Mitigation actions in LULUCF include drastically reducing deforestation (Brazil, Indonesia) and peat degradation (Indonesia), re-/afforestation (all), increased sequestration in standing forests (Brazil, Indonesia) and increasing soil carbon in agricultural lands (India).

Report
2023
The report emphasizes the urgent need for swift and transformative action on climate change in line with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals. Incremental changes won’t suffice; instead, a systemic transformation involving both technological and organizational shifts across all sectors and countries is essential.

Report
2021
This report presents the main policy lessons emerging from the national Deep Decarbonization Scenarios developed in Brazil. It includes a description of scenario's main features, main synergies and trade-offs with country non-climate objectives, priority short-term policies and actions and key international enablers and accelerators of domestic transitions.

Report
2021
This report seeks to open the box of emission pathways, by considering the multidimensional feasibility conditions-i.e. the technical, economic, political, social and institutional- that will enable the required far-reaching and systemic transformation towards the long-term goal.

Factsheet
2021
This document presents a synthesis of key results of the decarbonization scenarios developed for Brazil. It describes the key national and sector level techno-economic transformations to 2050, their main socio-economic aspects and resulting emission profiles. It also highlights some main policy implications and challenges, investment insights and necessary developments in international enablers.

Synthesis
2015
The DDPP issued a report on the first phase of its work, preliminary findings on technically feasible pathways, at the UN Climate Summit in September 2014, at the invitation of Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. This report summarized each country team's initial research. In the fall of 2015, all 16 teams published stand-alone reports describing in greater detail their research into national DDPs. This 2015 Synthesis Report provides a cross-cutting analysis of the aggregate results, complementing the executive summary published in September 2015.

Summary
2015
The Deep Decarbonization Pathways Project (DDPP) is a collaborative global research initiative to understand how individual countries can transition to a low-carbon economy consistent with the internationally agreed goal of limiting anthropogenic warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius (°C). Staying within this limit requires global net emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) to approach zero in the second half of this century. This will entail, more than any other factor, a profound transformation of energy systems, through steep declines in carbon intensity across all sectors, a transition we call "deep decarbonization".
