IPCC AR6 SYR LR Figure 3.6 (a)

Total GHG, CO2 and CH4 emissions and timing of reaching net-zero while keeping warming to 1.5°C with no or limited overshoot

GHG, CO2 and CH4 emissions over time (in GtCO2eq) with historical emissions, projected emissions in line with policies implemented until the end of 2020 (grey), and pathways consistent with temperature goals in colour (blue, purple, and brown, respectively). This figure shows pathways that limit warming to 1.5°C (>50%) with no or limited overshoot (C1).
