The Shared Socioeconomic Pathway that we seem to be on is SSP2-4.5
What does this mean?
Near-term (ie in the next 16 years) temperatures will reach between "1.2° to 1.8°C" permanently. (IPCC, very likely)
In 2024, we are already at a permanent 1.3°C and 1.5°C is imminent (projected 2030-2033)
2ºC is almost certain.
We need to figure out rather quickly what the world will look like at this threshold and prepare as best we can.
