What’s the climate math for businesses?
Three scenarios model the decarbonization needed to keep to the 1.5-degree pathway. While big cuts are needed everywhere, if one source moves higher, others must move lower to make up the difference.

Climate change brings rising risks: extreme weather, economic disruptions. Limiting warming to 1.5 °C is crucial to avoid the worst impacts. Businesses need a clear roadmap to achieve this ambitious target.
The 1.5-degree challenge presents an opportunity for innovation in clean technologies and sustainable business models. It also encourages global collaboration to build resilient, low-carbon economies.
The road ahead requires urgent and collective action to drastically cut emissions across all sectors. Achieving the 1.5-degree target depends on strong policy frameworks, financing, and rapid deployment of sustainable solutions.

Three scenarios model the decarbonization needed to keep to the 1.5-degree pathway. While big cuts are needed everywhere, if one source moves higher, others must move lower to make up the difference.
All of the 1.5 °C scenarios would require major business, economic, and societal shifts-each enormous in its own right, and with intricate interdependencies. We identified five critical shifts and determined what it would take for the to occur.
A 1.5 °C pathway would require immediate and comprehensive action. The pace and magnitude of change would be unprecedented, but continuing on society’s current trajectory would widen the gap to a 1.5 °C pathway and create significant uncertainty and risk for businesses.
