目前正在开展强有力的缓解努力,以降低人为温室气体排放水平。在多个代理人之间分配缓解努力需要了解哪个代理人负责什么排放,根据碳责任的定义措施。当前国际气候政策采用的衡量标准是基于生产(或领土)的责任。然而,文献中讨论了其他类型的责任,即基于消费的(或上游)责任和下游责任。在本文中,我们研究后者,这是很少探讨的文献。我们通过一个新的命名法,收入为基础的责任,并提出了一个案例研究,量化的收入为基础的责任,为112个世界地区,并比较的结果与生产和消费为基础的责任。
A strong mitigation effort is underway to reduce the levels of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. An allocation of the mitigation effort among multiple agents requires understanding which agent is responsible for what emissions, according to a defined measure of carbon responsibility. The metric adopted by current international climate policy is production-based (or territorial) responsibility. However, other types of responsibility have been discussed in the literature, namely consumption-based (or upstream) responsibility and downstream responsibility. In this paper we study the latter, which is little explored in the literature. We clarify the term through a novel nomenclature,income-based responsibilityand present a case-study, with the quantification of income-based responsibility for 112 world regions, and the comparison of the results with production and consumption-based responsibilities.
