About the Protocol
The CRREM Pathways represent the latest climate science and are subject to periodic updates. These updates reflect new scientific discoveries, regulatory changes, revised energy consumption projections, renewable power grid developments, carbon budgets, and technological advancements.
A formal Change & Update Protocol has been established to ensure transparency, consistency, and scientific rigor in every revision.

The Technical Council and CRREM Foundation Board oversee the Pathways. Any modifications to the CRREM Pathways or methodology must follow approval and adoption protocols outlined in their respective Terms of Reference.
This governance structure ensures that pathway updates remain independent, science-based, and aligned with the Foundation's public-interest mission.
