Abstract: A global target of stabilizing greenhouse-gas concentrations at between 450 and 550 parts per million carbon-dioxide equivalent (ppm CO 2 e) has proven robust to recent developments in the science and economics of climate change.

Climate policy at the international level is now moving rapidly towards agreeing an emissions pathway, and distributing responsibi…
