Table 4 Component outputs for the four stakeholders derived from Step 2 of the POS-T. (Units of achievement = tonnes of CO2 equivalent per capita. Rank score output = proportional score gained from ranking ahead of other countries. Rank score reference = median score from simulation based on achievement descriptive statistics. Rank score deviation = simulation outputs based on 16th and 84th percentiles. LUX. = Luxembourg).

From: Design of the performance outcome scoring template (POS-T) with example application on CO2 emissions reduction amongst 36 OECD member countries
