Fig. 3: Reported abatement versus estimates based on atmospheric data.

From: Increase in global emissions of HFC-23 despite near-total expected reductions

Fig. 3

Total developing countries HFC-23 abatement (blue line, with blue shaded area showing 1\(\sigma\) uncertainty) calculated from the developing country no abatement bottom-up emissions estimates minus the top-down emissions derived from the 12-box model with developed world reported emissions removed. Chinese (orange line) and Indian (green line) abatement are compiled from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Changeʼs Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) reports (2010–2014), Chinese hydrochlorofluorocarbons production phase-out management plan (HPPMP) reported emission reductions, and the Indian executive order to abate all HFC-23 emissions from 13 October 2016. Other developing country abatement as part of the CDM is shown in the black line. Developing countries-total abatement (dashed purple line) shows the summation of all developing country abatement as part of the CDM, Chinese HPPMP and Indian executive order.
