Revealing developed countries’ emission trajectories
Hindustan TimesThis issue brief aims to shed light on the mitigation performance of developed countries, drawing on developed countries’ self-disclosed information in official climate transparency reports. The study highlights that climate transparency reports contain powerful information, which can shed light on climate action of developed countries. The mitigation efforts of developed countries have direct implications for the limited carbon budget available to developing countries, which need sufficient carbon space to address their economic and social development challenges and eradicate poverty. For this assessment, we used datasets officially disclosed by developed countries in their reports as submitted under United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change transparency arrangements.
