Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP): SSP1-1.9: very low GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions cut to net zero around 2050. SSP1-2.6: low GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions cut to net zero around 2075. SSP2-4.5: intermediate GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions around current levels until 2050, then falling but not reaching net zero by 2100: SSP3-7.0: high GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions double by 2100. SSP5-8.5: very high GHG emissions - COâ‚‚ emissions triple by 2075.

Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise in the UK 2020-2099
Land impacted by inundation due to sea level rise is projected to rise in the United Kingdom under various Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP).
Under the SSP1-2.6 the mean projected area affected by sea level rise in the UK is almost *** square kilometers in at the end of the century. In comparison, the projected land area affected under the SSP5-8.5 high emission scenario is approximately square kilometers at the same time frame.Â
