| Keywords: Projected carbon dioxide emissions and atmospheric concentrations over the 21st century for reference and mitigation scenarios.png carbon dioxide CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and atmospheric concentrations for reference and climate change mitigation scenarios In the reference scenarios light grey it is assumed that no efforts are made to reduce anthropogenic i e human-produced greenhouse gas emissions In the mitigation scenarios anthropogenic CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are reduced sufficiently to stabilize atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations at approximately 450 to 750 parts-per-million by volume ppmv <ref> Table TS 2 in Technical Summary in harvnb Clarke others 2007 9 </ref> Non-CO<sub>2</sub> anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are also reduced in the stabilization scenarios but this is not shown in the graph In the mitigation scenarios CO<sub>2</sub> emissions peak then decline The lower the atmospheric stabilization level of CO<sub>2</sub> the sooner the peak occurs In the 450 ppm scenario emissions peak in 2010 In the 550 ppm scenario emissions level off between 2010 and 2050 then decline In the 650 ppm scenario emissions peak in 2050 while in the 750 ppm scenario they peak in 2060-70 Emissions in the reference scenarios vary widely In the highest emissions reference scenario emissions increase steadily over most of the 21st century In the lowest emissions reference scenario emissions peak in 2050 then decline In all of the mitigation scenarios atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentrations in 2000 are 371 ppm Concentrations increase gradually over the century In 2100 concentrations in the mitigation scenarios are 451 526 614 and 677 ppm In the reference scenarios concentrations in 2000 range between 369 and 372 ppm In 2100 concentrations range from 553 to 901 ppmv Emissions Most of the scenario data is listed in a later section as comma-separated values The following text briefly summarizes changes in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions for the scenarios The first number is the year labelled y This is followed by the projected range of emissions across the reference scenarios r then the projected range of emissions across the mitigation scenarios The following labels are used for the mitigation scenarios L1 450 ppm L2 550 ppm L3 650 ppm L4 750 ppm Emissions are measured in billion tonnes of
