Description/Abstract: 

Showing how emissions can be brought to zero by mid-century stay within the small remaining carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

This chapter assesses mitigation pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. In doing so, it explores the following key questions: What role do CO2 and non-CO2 emissions play? To what extent do 1.5°C pathways involve overshooting and returning below 1.5°C during the 21st century? What are the implications for transitions in energy, land use and sustainable development? How do policy frameworks affect the ability to limit warming to 1.5°C? What are the associated knowledge gaps?
