CLIMATE AMBITION BEYOND EMISSION NUMBERS: Taking stock of progress by looking inside countries and sectors

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.

DDPP – 16 countries – Synthesis

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.

DDPP – 16 countries – Executive Summary

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".
