Distribution of a Global CO2 Budget - A Comparison of Resource Sharing Models
Description
In view of the connection between the cumulative CO2 emissions and global warming, as described in the IPCC reports, the key question arises how a globally remaining budget could be realistically distributed among countries. Discussion of this issue can contribute to NDCs that are, in sum, Paris compatible.
Resource sharing models directly address the allocation of such a remaining global budget. This article will therefore give an overview of the properties of resource sharing models that, in principle, use current emissions and population as a distribution key. With the current emissions, the current reality and with the population climate justice can be mapped.
We also identified a possible additional helpful assessment criterion for NDCs: the implicit weighting of population.
