This article identifies and quantifies the 10 most important benchmarks for climate action to be taken by 2020-2025 to keep the window open for a 1.5 degrees C-consistent GHG emission pathway. We conducted a comprehensive review of existing emissions scenarios, scanned all sectors and the respective necessary transitions, and distilled the most important short-term benchmarks for action in line with the long-term perspective of the required global low-carbon transition. Owing to the limited carbon budget, combined with the inertia of existing systems, global energy economic models find only limited pathways to stay on track for a 1.5 degrees C world consistent with the long-term temperature goal of the Paris Agreement.The identified benchmarks include:Sustain the current growth rate of renewables and other zero and low-carbon power generation until 2025 to reach 100% share by 2050;No new coal power plants, reduce emissions from existing coal fleet by 30% by 2025;Last fossil fuel passenger car sold by 2035-2050;Develop and agree on a 1.5 degrees C-consistent vision for aviation and shipping;All new buildings fossil-free and near-zero energy by 2020;Increase building renovation rates from less than 1% in 2015 to 5% by 2020;All new installations in emissions-intensive sectors low-carbon after 2020, maximize material efficiency;Reduce emissions from forestry and other land use to 95% below 2010 levels by 2030, stop net deforestation by 2025;Keep agriculture emissions at or below current levels, establish and disseminate regional best practice, ramp up research;Accelerate research and planning for negative emission technology deployment.
