The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded in 2001 that countries must reduce global greenhouse gas emissions to 25% below 1990 emissions by 2050 to reach climate stabilization at 450 ppm, or 45% above 1990 emissions to reach 550 ppm. Stabilization at either 450 ppm or 550 ppm will be difficult to achieve and may still carry considerable risk of major climate events. While reduction goals for specific countries vary by political proposal, developed countries like the United States must reduce emissions in the range of 80% below 1990 emissions by 2050 for 450 ppm, or 60% for 550 ppm.4
