Description

A policy brief describing the findings of the first round of ECEMF Climate Neutrality Pathway model intercomparison exercise.
It presents insights on 2040 emission reductions in line with reaching climate neutrality by 2050, and describes the changes to the energy system behind those emission reductions.
These scenarios were developed in the Horizon 2020 project ECEMF (https://ecemf.eu).
