Emission scenario A1B

The scenario family A1 describes a future world with a fast economic growth, a world population which culminates mid-21st century and decreases from then on as well as rapid introduction of new and efficient technologies. Other important assumptions are convergence of regions, worldwide expandation of know-how, increasing cultural and social interactions and decreasing regional differences in per-capita income.

The A1 family is further divided into groups with different technological focus: intensive use of fossile fuels (A1FI), non-fossile energy sources (A1T) and a balanced use of all sources (A1B).
