PARIS RISQUÉS VALEURS SÛRES
Summary
The document distinguishes between 'safe bets'—technologies available commercially without major implementation constraints—and 'risky bets'—solutions with uncertain prospects that could still be significant for carbon neutrality. It notes that safe bets provide the majority of reductions by 2030, while risky bets increase in importance by 2050.
Key insights
- By 2030, 'safe bets' (valeurs sûres) are expected to account for the majority of emission reductions, as 'risky bets' (paris risqués) will not yet be sufficiently developed to play a leading role.
- By 2050, the relative contribution of safe bets becomes more variable, while risky bets gain more importance in the transition.
- The document defines 'safe bets' as emission reduction technologies and solutions that are already commercially available and face no major constraints for large-scale implementation, whereas 'risky bets' are solutions that could be significant for carbon neutrality but remain uncertain.
