> The paper proposes simple visualizations of the challenge posed by the 2°C target.> It shows how key assumptions influence the achievability of the target.> It disentangles the points of deep uncertainty underlying the absence on consensus on the achievability of the target.> It proposes an “uncertainties and decisions tree”, linking different beliefs on climate change to various policy options. Political attention has increasingly focused on limiting warming to 2°C. However, there is no consensus on both questions “Is the 2°C target achievable? ” and “What should be done with this target that becomes increasingly difficult to achieve?”.
