Reduction targets under three burden-sharing schemes for 50% global GHG reduction toward 2050

Implications of Japan’s long term climate mitigation target and the relevance of uncertain nuclear policy

“…The government made public a statement on efforts to achieve an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 (Government of Japan, 2013). This goal derives from the common vision agreed upon by countries in the G8 (of which Japan is a member) for reducing GHG emissions by 2050, and it is regarded as being in line with the 2 degree target (Kawase and Matsuoka, 2013). In 2014, GHG emissions in Japan reached 1.364 GtCO2eq, with CO2 from fossil fuels and industry being the largest source of emissions (90%) (Ministry of Environment of Japan, 2016).…”

“…Panida et al [41] used the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, called "AIM/CGE" model, to analyze GHG mitigation measures under the emission trading scheme and deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology in Thailand respectively. Reina and Yuzuru [30] estimated the GHG emission reduction targets for 230 countries/regions in the world under the overall target of 50% global reduction in GHG emissions by 2050 compared with the 1990 levels. Three burden-sharing schemes, emission per capita, emission per GDP, and cumulative emission per capita, are taken into account for allocating global GHG emissions to each country.…”

Gains from emission trading under multiple stabilization targets and technological constraints

“…The convergence means that all countries will equalize their per capita and GDP emissions in the year 2050. Although there have been many other schemes proposed (e.g., Hof et al (2009);den Elzen et al (2008)), we limited burden sharing schemes for simplicity (Kawase and Matsuoka, 2013). Moreover, equalizing emissions per GDP could be somewhat unrealistic scheme since the emissions constraint in developed countries is much more modest than other schemes (it is observed in SI Fig.…”
