IPCC AR6 WGIII TS.15 (a, b)

Figure TS.15 legend: RECC-LED data include only space heating and cooling and water heating in residential buildings (a) Global resolution, and (b) for nine world regions.

Emissions are decomposed using the equation "CO2 = Pop × (m2/Pop) × (EJ/m2) × (MtCO2/EJ) = Pop × Sufficiency × Efficiency × Renewable" which shows changes in driver variables of population, sufficiency (floor area per capita), efficiency (final energy per floor area), and renewables (GHG emissions per final energy). ‘Renewables’ is a summary term describing changes in GHG intensity of energy supply. 

Emission projections to 2050, and differences between scenarios in 2050, demonstrate mitigation potentials from the dimensions of the SER framework realised in each model scenario. In most regions, historical improvements in efficiency have been approximately matched by growth in floor area per capita. Implementing sufficiency measures that limit growth in floor area per capita, particularly in developed regions, reduces the dependence of climate mitigation on technological solutions. {Figure 9.5, Box 9.2}
