What is Nigeria's pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C?
1.5°C national
pathway explorer
Explore pathways countries can follow to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, including sector-specific decarbonisation deadlines, derived from a global Highest Possible Ambition scenario.
What is the explorer for?
The world is warming fast and heading towards overshooting the 1.5°C limit set out in the Paris Agreement. The Highest Possible Ambition scenario shows we can still limit the scale and duration of overshoot and return the world to safe levels of warming if we act with the highest possible ambition, starting now. This analysis updates IPCC AR6 pathways to reflect today’s higher starting emissions and sets out what is needed to limit overshoot above 1.5ºC.
The 1.5°C national pathway explorer shows how countries can get temperatures back well below 1.5ºC by 2100 and details key characteristics with an in-depth policy assessment for 25 countries. In addition to an economy-wide view, the webtool also includes 1.5°C compatible benchmarks for individual sectors. Sectors analysed include power, transport, industry, buildings, and forestry (LULUCF), including investments requirements for the power and the transport sectors to come. For a broader set of 39, we provide domestic emissions pathways required to keep to the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature goal based on selected IPCC AR6 and SR1.5 pathways.
Who is it for?
The 1.5°C national pathway explorer aims to empower national decision makers to chart ambitious emissions reductions paths. It also aims to support civil society and national interest groups inform the debate on driving climate action.
How is it done?
Regional results from our Highest Possible Ambition scenario are scaled down to the national level, based on the interactions across economic sectors, energy consumption and emissions. See the methodology section for more details.
