1. The @IEA World Energy Outlook does a deep dive on three scenarios: Current, Stated, & <2°C scenarios every year. The focus is on energy & primarily up to 2040.
Is this approach better than a 5-7 year IPCC assessment with hundreds of scenarios?

2. The IEA does not run out long enough (particularly to not zero), does not cover the land sector nor all GHG emissions. Plenty of space for extensions.
But, is messaging and communication easier when simple (3 scenarios) & regular (annual)?

3/3. The IEA "baseline scenarios" are focused on "where we are headed" (not where we could have headed, as often used in IPCC assessments and general scenario analysis).
