a background of autonomous developments, leading to a specific future situation' . As such, a pathway represents changes over time in response to policies and practices, as well spontaneous and exogenous events. For example, the SR1.5 report suggested that CRD pathways are 'a conceptual and aspirational idea for steering societies towards low-carbon, prosperous and ecologically safe futures' , and a way to highlight the complexity of decision making processes at different levels. Here, consistent with the aforementioned definition of CRD, we define CRD pathways as development trajectories that successfully integrate mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development.
