Breaking current emission trends in the short term is key to retaining credible climate targets within a rapidly diminishing emission quota.

By improving action of China and the US to global best practice, these two largest emitters could decrease domestic emissions to a level compatible with 2°C and together close 23% of the 2020 emissions gap.

In this report, we aim to better understand the implications of different effort-sharing criteria and metrics on emission reduction efforts for key countries in the post-2015 agreement.

The report, produced for the German environmental protection agency Umweltbundesamt (UBA), evaluates available options for a variety of aspects around the differentiation of mitigation commitments.

This paper explores a wide range of air-pollutant emissions over the twenty-first century consistent with the global CO₂ paths of the RCPs.
