A decarbonization pathway is a way for something, such as a country or energy system, to reach a greenhouse gas emissions target, such as net zero by 2050. Decarbonization pathways include technology, economy and policy.[1]
Some research, such as the Deep Decarbonization Pathways initiative, studies only the energy sector whereas others cover an entire country or city, such as London.[2] There can also be pathways for organizations, such as companies,[3] or things such as buildings.[4] Pathways may include behavioral change, such as lower-carbon travel.[5]
