This report analyses the emissions reduction targets submitted under the Copenhagen Accord by developed and developing countries in matters of four key questions: Do the pledges add up to the emission reductions required necessary by science?;
What are the costs associated with meeting the given targets?;
Are the proposed emission reduction efforts of Annex I parties
comparable?; and What would comparable efforts look like taking country-specific socio-economic indicators into account?.
Secondary to these questions this report explores the economic and environmental implications of the submitted pledges and NAMAs.
