About the data set
To fill in emissions not reported for scenarios in their submission to the database, we use a large set of harmonized AR6 global emissions pathways for inferring pathways based on the relationships between concurrent species development over time observed in the larger set.
Infilling ensures that all relevant anthropogenic emissions are included in each climate run for each scenario. This makes the climate assessment of alternative scenarios more comparable and reduces the risk of a biased climate assessment, because not all climatically active emission species are reported by all IAMs. The infilling methods used are from an open-source Python software package called ‘silicone’ (Lamboll et al. 2020)
This file is the harmonized emissions database that was used as "infiller database" for the IPCC AR6 WGIII report on the Mitigation of Climate Change, using data from the chapter on Mitigation Pathways Compatible with Long-Term Goals (Riahi and Schaeffer et al. 2022) as available in the AR6 Scenarios Database (Byers et al. 2022).

The record is publicly accessible, but files are restricted to users with access.

You need to satisfy these conditions in order for this request to be accepted:
The data is available for download at the AR6 Scenario Explorer hosted by IIASA under a license which permits use of the scenario ensemble for scientific research and science communication, but restricts redistribution of substantial parts of the data.
We are committed to making the scenario ensemble available as widely as possible, and to encourage broad use of the data for research, science communication and policy analysis in the context of global warming of 1.5°C and sustainable development. We want to facilitate the dialogue on pathways at the interface between science and policy, and we aim to support a better understanding of the scientific basis of the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C by releasing this scenario ensemble.
Nevertheless, we anticipate regular updates of the scenario ensemble. This may be either due to adding more detailed information to available scenarios in response to user requests, or because of reporting issues identified after the release that need to be corrected. While we did take the utmost care to validate all submitted data, such issues can never be fully avoided.
For this reason, we request that downloads of scenario data are routed through the AR6 Scenario Explorer, unless the data is made available in relation to a specific figure in a publication or online visualization tool, for example as supplementary material to a manuscript published in a scientific journal.
