Interesting tool. It basically says you can:

- Tax coal, oil, natural gas, bioenergy

- Subsidize renewables, nuclear, new technology

- Increase efficiency and electrification of transports, buildings, and industry

- Reduce population growth

- Reduce economic growth

- Reduce deforestation

- Increase afforestation

For an effect that puts us at +2.1C by 2100 https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?p1=120...

OR you can do these three things:

- Set a high price on carbon

- Reduce emissions of methane and other gases

- Increase usage carbon removal technologies

for a similar effect of +2.1C by 2100 https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?p39=25...

All optimistic actions combined puts us at +1.0C by 2100 https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?p1=120...
