Fig. 1: Conceptual overview of allocation approach.
From: Sharing the effort of the European Green Deal among countries
Each distribution consists of three components, addressing each of the three IPCC equity considerations of (i) responsibility, (ii) capability, and (iii) equality. These equity considerations are interpreted via a set of interpretations, listed under each corner. The interpretations used in the main scenario are indicated as R1, E1, and C1; alternative interpretations are listed with subsequent numbers, e.g. R2, where the inherited benefits from pre-1995 emission-generating activities replaces historical emissions in the scenario calculations. As an example, Point A would indicate an allocation scenario where only responsibility is given weight. Point B represents an allocation where equal weight is given to all three equity considerations.
