Pathways to 2030 and 2050: What’s Plausible, What’s Propaganda?

SUMMARY - Pathways to 2030 and 2050: What’s Plausible, What’s Propaganda?

Climate targets abound—net zero by 2050, 45% emissions reduction by 2030, carbon neutrality commitments from corporations and countries alike. But what would actually meeting these targets require? Which pathways are technically feasible, economically viable, and politically achievable? And which announced targets are little more than aspirational statements with no credible plan behind them? Separating plausible pathways from climate propaganda requires examining the gap between rhetoric and reality.
