Variation in trends of consumption based carbon accounts

Description

In this work we present results of all the major global models and normalise the model results by looking at changes over time relative to a common base year value.  
We give an analysis of the variability across the models, both before and after normalisation in order to give insights into variance at national and regional level. 
A dataset of harmonised results (based on means) and measures of dispersion is presented, providing a baseline dataset for CBCA validation and analysis.

The dataset is intended as a goto dataset for country and regional results of consumption and production based accounts. The normalised mean for each country/region is the principle result that can be used to assess the magnitude and trend in the emission accounts. However, an additional key element of the dataset are the measures of robustness and spread of the results across the source models. These metrics give insight into the amount of trust should be placed in the individual country/region results.
