A business-as usual emissions trajectory could exhaust the world’s 2000-2050 carbon budget as early as 2034. The PwC Low Carbon Economy Index frames decarbonization performance in terms of carbon intensity reduction per unit of energy, and finds that the global rate of carbon intensity reduction this century so far is around 0.8%
