If all climate mitigation levers are pulled, it may still be possible to limit global warming to 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement. The findings could help inform the heated climate policy debate. "The emission scenarios differ in their reliance on each of the five mitigation levers we looked at. Yet all scenarios that we find to be realistic pull at least several levers at challenging levels," says lead author Lila Warszawski from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). "None of the realistic scenarios relies on a single silver bullet."
