A powerful, new dashboard tracking transition pathways to Net Zero

The Allianz SAMEpath tool charts the required emission reductions and associated investments needed to achieve the 1.5oC Net Zero commitments made by countries under the 2015 Paris Agreement. SAMEpath also examines the energy mix and how the speed of implementation can vary by region, country and sector.

“The purpose of  Allianz is that ‘We secure your future,’” says Ludovic Subran, Chief Economist at Allianz SE. “We take that seriously and are supporting our stakeholders as best as possible in their efforts to achieve their Net Zero targets. SAMEpath is part of that commitment as it can form the basis for investment and underwriting decisions worldwide.”

Climate change is one of the most significant challenges facing humankind. If left unchecked, it will likely result in more frequent and severe climate events, causing widespread devastation and economic disruption. Substantial changes in our production, consumption and living habits are required if the world is to avert catastrophic climate change. 

SAMEpath (the abbreviation for Sector Assessment of Multiple Emissions pathways) informs stakeholders and the general public about economic developments and potential transition risks for sectors and economies in different climate scenarios. This includes reaching the 1.5oC Net Zero target, remaining below a 2oC increase in global warming and the massive overshoot embedded in current policies.

The SAMEpath dashboard harmonizes many of the existing analyses on climate scenarios. It enhances this with own calculations to provide more details on economic developments and climate transition risks.

Users of SAMEpath can conduct customized data searches to display and download data on a requested variable, region and/or scenario. The dashboard also contains a geographical map allowing users to compare different countries for a given variable, scenario and year combination. With it, they can, for example, quickly find the GHG emissions of the United States in different climate scenarios up until 2050 and beyond.
