Emission Scenarios

Emission scenarios are projections that describe possible future levels of greenhouse gas emissions based on different assumptions about economic growth, technology, energy use, and policies. They help scientists and policymakers understand how various choices might impact climate change. For example, a high-emission scenario assumes rapid economic growth and reliance on fossil fuels, while a low-emission scenario may focus on renewable energy and strict regulations. By exploring these scenarios, decision-makers can better prepare for potential environmental impacts and develop strategies to mitigate climate change.
