Fig. 4: Negotiation points derived from optimal weighting of equity interpretations and their resulting reductions by 2030 by country.
From: Sharing the effort of the European Green Deal among countries
The box and whisker plots in the main panel show the resulting range of emissions reductions by 2030 by country, corresponding to the negotiation convergence points shown in the inset equity triangle. The solid black line indicates the ‘fit for 55%’ reduction target for each country and the dotted line the required reduction if each country were to reduce an equal percentage in the effort-sharing sector to meet the 2030 goals (corresponding to −44%). Points in the inset ternary chart denote negotiation points when using an allocation approach comprised of weighted combinations of three equity principles, point size indicates frequency, i.e. multiple points at one location. Orange points and boxes are for minimizations of EU aggregate additional effort above Member States upper bound of equity-compatible emissions, and blue for minimal deviation from the 2018 ESR.
