Basic Equity Settings

  •  Introduction to the Climate Equity Reference Calculator
    For first time users of the Climate Equity Reference Calculator, we recommend first learning about our effort-sharing approach to better understand the significance of the settings they can make below.
  •  Level of Global Ambition

    Select a mitigation pathway:

  •  Common but Differentiated Responsibilities and Capabilities

    Historical Responsibility, calculated based on emissions cumulative since:

    Capability to Act, calculated in increasingly economically progressive ways:

    Less progressive

    Earlier responsibility start date

    Later responsibility start date

    More progressive

    Relative Weight for Historical Responsibility vs Economic Capability to Act

  •  Responsibility
  •  Progressivity
  •  Incremental costs of climate action

    • Assuming a total global mitigation cost of $1,100 billion (1.0% of GWP), this yields a global average incremental mitigation cost of $34 per tonne CO2e in 2030.

  •  Kyoto obligations
  •  Mitigation smoothing


Use the controls to the left to change the parameter values and see the implications for national fair shares.

Baseline Emissions
GHG emissions baselines (these are *not* business-as-usual pathways) are calculated as counter-factual non-policy baselines. The method applies recent improvements of carbon intensity to GDP forecast estimates. GDP estimates based on national data from the IMF's Worls Economic Outlook (WEO) for the next 5 years and then on regional data from IPCC (Fifth Assessment Report) through 2030. See Definition, sourcing, and updating of the emissions baselines for details.
"Fair share" allocation
National allocation trajectory, as calculated for World using the specified pathways and parameters. The mitigation implied by this allocation can be either domestic or international – The Climate Equity Reference Project effort-sharing framework says nothing about how or where it occurs.
