Figure TS.11: Stabilization scenario categories as reported in Figure TS.8 (coloured bands) and their relationship to equilibrium global mean temperature change above pre-industrial temperatures [Figure 3.38].
Notes: Middle (black) line – ‘best estimate’ climate sensitivity of 3°C; upper (red) line – upper bound of likely range of climate sensitivity of 4.5°C; lower (blue) line – lower bound of likely range of climate sensitivity of 2°C. Coloured shading shows the concentration bands for stabilization of GHGs in the atmosphere corresponding to the stabilization scenario categories I to VI as indicated in Table TS.2.
