Figure 9.5 Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 including Extended Concentration Pathways (ECPs) after Meinshausen et al. (2011). The graphic indicates an approximate trajectory for the Paris Agreement. RCP8.5 is conceptualized as relatively slow adoption of low-carbon energy systems and weak international cooperation in reducing carbon emissions. RCP4.5, by contrast, is conceptualized as rapid development and implementation of low-carbon technology under strong international cooperation.
