Decarbonization pathway
A decarbonization pathway is a way for something, such as a country or energy system, to reach a greenhouse gas emissions target, such as net zero by 2050. Decarbonization pathways aim to limit climate change, and include technology, economy and policy.[1]
Some pathways cover a particular sector: for example the Road Transport Decarbonization Pathway (RTDP) tool,[2] and the Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative which is for the energy sector. Whereas others cover a country or city, such as London.[3] There can also be pathways for organizations, such as companies,[4] or things such as buildings.[5] Pathways may include behavioral change, such as sometimes riding a bicycle rather than travelling by car.[6]
Some countries plan and discuss their decarbonization pathways years in advance, for example 2025 consulation on extending the UK Emissions Trading Scheme beyond 2030.[7]
