A Feasibility Stress Test of Collectively Paris-Compatible National CO₂ Targets

This paper seeks to identify global framework data that would allow for national territorial emission reduction targets that are as realistic as possible and, in aggregate, compatible with the Paris Agreement. A key result is that, even under such assumptions, a remaining mitigation gap persists.
