Climate Protection: Deep Decarbonization by 2050 Currently Not Plausible

We are happy to announce that the very first Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook that Jun.-Prof. Dr. Cathrin Zengerling contributed to as part of a team of authors and has been working on intensely for the last two years, has been published. The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook presents a novel attempt to distinguish between possible and plausible climate futures. Possible future scenarios are those that are consistent with the scientific understanding of the climate system and social dynamics. Plausible climate futures denote the subset of those possible future states that we expect to unfold with appreciable probability, given the existing evidence from the physical and social worlds.
