In this scenario, the atmospheric concentration of GHGs could reach 685 parts per million (ppm). As a result, the global average temperature increase could be 3° C to 6°C above pre-industrial levels by the end of the century, exceeding the internationally agreed goal of limiting it to below 2°C.6 For this reason, clean energy becomes absolutely critical to any strategy to alter these trends. Transforming infrastructure to be LCCR is a critical part of the climate policy challenge because it will lock-in development patterns and because it represents the bulk of the investment needed to achieve the 2°C target.
