Automaker Roadmap for Climate Scenario Analysis

The Automaker Roadmap for Climate Scenario Analysis, commissioned by Ceres, establishes a framework for automakers to integrate climate scenario analysis into their strategic planning. It emphasizes the need for transparent and consistent methodologies to allow for comparisons with independent scientific bodies and other original equipment manufacturers. The guide highlights key factors for achieving warming limits of well below 2°C and an aspiration of 1.5°C, including the adoption of electric and fuel-efficient vehicles and the use models of shared and autonomous vehicles. It advocates for dynamic scenarios that challenge conventional wisdom and account for uncertainties to build resilient responses to climate change.

• The framework encourages automakers to adopt transparent and consistent methodological approaches to enable comparisons between their own analysis and scenarios from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and independent scientific bodies.
• To achieve climate outcomes of well below 2°C and an aspiration of 1.5°C, automakers should consider factors such as fuel-efficient and electric vehicles, as well as shared and autonomous vehicle use models.
• Climate scenarios are recommended to be dynamic, challenge existing conventional wisdom, recognize uncertainties, and provide a basis for contingency planning to ensure durable and resilient climate responses.
