RCP Level Descriptions
RCP Level Descriptions
| Rating | Description |
|---|---|
| RCP 2.6 | Assumes stringent, immediate action, with greenhouse gases peaking around 2020 and declining sharply, aiming to keep global warming below 2°C. |
| RCP4.5 | An intermediate scenario where CO2 levels peak by 2040, then decline due to the decreased availability of fossil fuels. |
| RCP 6.0 | A stabilisation scenario, where CO2 emissions peak around 2080, then decline with the deployment of various technologies and strategies. |
| RCP 8.5 | Worst-Case scenario where CO2 emissions continue to rise throughout the 21st century. Thought by some to be based on an overestimation of projected coal outputs. |
