Download information
Please do not request a data download here.
Rather, the data is available for download at the NGFS Scenario Explorer under this download link: https://data.ece.iiasa.ac.at/ngfs/#/downloads. In order to download click on Guest login. You will be forwarded to the downloads page. At the bottom of the downloads page you can download the data.
The license permits use of the scenario ensemble for scientific research and commercial use, but restricts redistribution of substantial parts of the data. Please refer to the FAQ and legal code for more information.
Release notes V4.2
- Structural:
- Removed the empty year columns for downscaled data. Affected columns: 1990, 1995, 1996, 1997, ... 2018, 2019, 2110
- Data updates:
- REMIND-MAgPIE:
- Emissions|CO2|Energy was corrected. Now, Emissions|CO2|Energy and Industrial Processes sums up correctly to Energy + Industrial Processes.
- GCAM:
-
Corrected unit conversion error for person-km and ton-km energy service data for Energy Service|Transportation|* variables in GCAM. Values were reduced by a factor of 1000.
-
Removed erroneous vehicle-km activity variables Energy Service|Transportation|Rail and Energy Service|Transportation|Aviation.
-
- Downscaling:
- Results are now provided for the EU27 region.
- Removed countries for which no IEA statistics exist and report them as one aggregated region: Downscaling|Countries without IEA statistics.
- Enhanced historical harmonization of Emissions|CO2|Industrial Processes using IPCC categories 2A, B, C, E.
- Revised calculation of land use emissions
- REMIND-MAgPIE:
About NGFS
The Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) is a group of 127 central banks and supervisors and 20 observers committed to sharing best practices, contributing to the development of climate– and environment–related risk management in the financial sector and mobilising mainstream finance to support the transition toward a sustainable economy.
This Scenario Explorer is a web-based user interface for NGFS Scenarios. This provides intuitive visualizations & display of time series data and download of the data in multiple formats.
NGFS scenarios were produced by NGFS Workstream on Scenarios Design and Analysis in partnership with an academic consortium from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), University of Maryland (UMD), Climate Analytics (CA), and the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). This work was made possible by grants from Bloomberg Philanthropies and ClimateWorks Foundation.
The bespoke scenarios developed in Phase 4 of this project are generated by state-of-the-art well-established integrated assessment models (IAMs), namely GCAM, MESSAGE-GLOBIOM and REMIND-MAgPIE, as well as the NiGEM macroeconomic model.
