Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals?

No way!

We'll continue to warm the planet with CO2 emissions until we reach a point where summers actually kill people in the thousands, probably millions each year. As poor people (whose number is increasing) move out of now uninhabitable places, we'll see a collapse of the economic system. Many big companies will probably not find a way to sustain themselves and will disappear.

Brace yourself for ever increasing cost of life, poverty, worse overall health, lower life expectancy, lower fertility rates and population, and maybe some water wars and food wars for some decades.

Humanity might eventually recover from such collapse over a couple of centuries. I think of it as the Bronze Age Collapse, but worse by magnitudes.
