Abstract:
This report presents an approach, called the Multi-Sector Convergence(MSC) framework, to generate comprehensive sets of national targets
for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation. The MSC framework is aimed at facilitating
international negotiations on national emission mitigation targets after
the first budget period defined in the Kyoto Protocol. The main features
of the MSC approach are:
- Emission standards are based on the distinction of different sectors
within the national economy
- The base model prescribes that the amount of per capita emission
assignments will ultimately converge to the same level for all countries
- Additional allowances may be conceded to countries facing specific
circumstances that warrant higher emission needs than countries with
more favourable specific emission mitigating circumstances, all other
factors being the same.
The MSC approach encompasses the follow
