Abstract. Mitigation of non-CO2 emissions plays a key role in meeting the Paris
Agreement ambitions and sustainable development goals. Implementation of
respective policies addressing these targets mainly occur at sectoral and
regional levels, and designing efficient mitigation strategies therefore
relies on detailed knowledge about the mix of emissions from individual
sources and their subsequent climate impact. Here we present a comprehensive
dataset of near- and long-term global temperature responses to emissions of
CO2 and individual short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) from 7 sectors
and 13 regions – for both present-day emissions and their continued evolution as
projected under the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). We demonstrate the key
role of CO2 in driving both near- and long-term warming and
highlight the importance of mitigating methane emissions from agriculture,
waste management, and energy production as the primary strategy to further
limit near-term warming. Due to high current emissions of cooling SLCFs,
policies targeting end-of-pipe energy sector emissions may result in net
added warming unless accompanied by simultaneous methane and/or CO2
reductions. We find that SLCFs are projected to play a continued role in
many regions, particularly those including low- to medium-income countries,
under most of the SSPs considered here. East Asia, North America, and Europe will
remain the largest contributors to total net warming until 2100, regardless
of scenario, while South Asia and Africa south of the Sahara overtake Europe
by the end of the century in SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5. Our dataset is made
available in an accessible format, aimed also at decision makers, to
support further assessment of the implications of policy implementation at
the sectoral and regional scales.
