Summary for policymakers: Figure SPM-3
Figure SPM-3: Total global annual
CO2 emissions from all sources (energy, industry, and land-use change)
from 1990 to 2100 (in gigatonnes of carbon (GtC/yr) for the families
and six scenario groups. The 40 SRES scenarios are presented by the
four families (A1, A2, B1, and B2) and six scenario groups: the fossil-intensive
A1FI (comprising the high-coal and high-oil-and-gas scenarios), the
predominantly non-fossil fuel A1T, the balanced A1B in Figure SPM-3a;
A2 in Figure SPM-3b; B1 in Figure SPM-3c, and B2 in Figure SPM-3d. Each
colored emission band shows the range of harmonized and non-harmonized
scenarios within each group. For each of the six scenario groups an
illustrative scenario is provided, including the four illustrative marker
scenarios (A1, A2, B1, B2, solid lines) and two illustrative scenarios
for A1FI and A1T (dashed lines).
