Greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 concentration levels, radiative forcing and temperature increase under a baseline and three climate policy scenarios

Caption: Greenhouse gas emissions, CO2 concentration levels, radiative forcing, and temperature increase under a baseline and three climate policy scenarios (based on Van Vuuren et al. 2010). In the policy scenarios, emissions decrease strongly after 2020, while concentration levels only decrease or stabilise after 2050. Global mean temperature is, due to inertia in the global mean temperature, only stabilising at the end of the century in the most ambitious climate policy scenario (2.6 W/m2).
