Scénarios climatiques : 5 pièges à éviter pour contenir le réchauffement à 1,5°C
Summary
The briefing warns that climate scenarios used by financial and corporate actors often lack the ambition required to meet the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement, effectively acting as greenwashing tools. It calls for robust 1.5°C scenarios from agencies like the IEA and urges financial actors to establish clear exit dates from fossil fuels: by 2040 in Europe and 2050 elsewhere for oil and gas, and ten years earlier for coal.
Key insights
- Many climate scenarios used by companies and financial institutions to claim alignment with the Paris Agreement are insufficiently ambitious and lead to warming well above 1.5°C, functioning as greenwashing tools to maintain polluting activities.
- A primary underlying issue in these scenarios is the protection of the fossil fuel sector, which allows for the continued central role of fossil fuels in global energy systems after 2040-2050 and justifies massive ongoing investments.
- Financial actors are urged to implement documented exit strategies from fossil fuels, specifically by 2040 in Europe and 2050 globally for oil and gas, with coal exits occurring ten years earlier.
