RCP scenario description [84].

Scenarios	Description	CO density (ppm)	Global warming until 2100 (mean and likely range)
RCP 2.6	Peak in radiative forcing at ~3 W/m before year 2100 and then decline	490	1.0 (0.3~1.7) °C
RCP 4.5	Stabilization without overshoot pathway to ~4.5 W/m at stabilization after year 2100	650	1.8 (1.1~2.6) °C
RCP 6.0	Stabilization without overshoot pathway to ~6 W/m at stabilization after year 2100	850	2.2 (1.4~3.1) °C
RCP 8.5	Rising radiative forcing pathway leading to 8.5 W/m by year 2100	1370	3.7 (2.6~4.8) °C
