Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The B1 scenario predicts a future where there is a shift towards a more sustainable economy with the use of clean energy technologies. This scenario also predicts lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions, which would result in the lowest level of warming during the 21st century compared to the other scenarios that predict continued or increased use of fossil fuels (A1F1) or continuous population growth with lower levels of economic growth and technological change (A2) or emphasis on local solutions with lower levels of economic growth and technological change (B2).
