IRA helps to bring projected U.S. power sector and economy-wide emissions closer to near-term climate targets (EPRI)
![Photo: As global warming edges closer to 1.5°C—the aspirational upper limit set in the Paris Agreement—ushering in more intense and frequent heatwaves, floods, wildfires and other climate extremes much sooner than many expected, current greenhouse gas emissions-reduction policies are far too weak to keep the planet from exceeding that threshold. The 2023 Global Change Outlook presents the MIT Joint Program’s latest projections for the future of the Earth’s energy, food, water and climate systems under existing global climate policies and those aligned with the 1.5°C target—and evaluates prospects for achieving the Paris Agreement’s short- and long-term climate goals.

![Photo: Under a scenario in which every nation achieves net-zero emissions by 2050, a very rapid scale-up of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) becomes necessary, incurring much higher short-term costs than if some countries are allowed to achieve net-zero emissions in the latter half of the century.
