Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) are a set of scenarios that were developed to explore different possible futures of human society and their potential impacts on the Earth's environment and climate. They are used in conjunction with Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) to model how the Earth's climate may respond to different future socioeconomic conditions.

Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) are scenarios developed to explore future greenhouse gas emissions and their potential impacts on the Earth's climate. They are used as inputs to climate models to project how the Earth's climate may change in the coming decades and centuries.

Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are mathematical models that are used to study the interactions between the climate, the economy, and society. IAMs are used to assess the potential impacts of climate change on the economy, and to develop policies to mitigate climate change.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an intergovernmental organization that was established in 1974 to promote reliable, affordable, and clean energy for its member countries and the world.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a United Nations body that was established in 1988. Its mandate is to provide policymakers with objective, scientific information on climate change, its impacts, and possible adaptation and mitigation options.

Net zero refers to balancing the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitted into the atmosphere and the amount removed.

Sustainability-linked bonds are structured so that the issuer is incentivized to meet certain sustainability performance targets, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving worker safety, or increasing renewable energy usage.

Green loans are loans that are specifically designed to finance projects that have a positive environmental impact.
