The study finds that excluding non-CO2 GHGs and land-use change and forestry CO2 can alter relative contributions by factors of 0.15 to 1.5. Furthermore, discounting for technological progress reduces the relative contributions of some developed countries (factor of 0.8) while increasing those of some developing countries (factor of 1.2–1.5). Deducting 'basic needs' emissions lowers contributions for countries with low per capita emissions (factor of 0.3–0.5), and including projected emissions up to 2020 increases the relative contributions of emerging economies by a factor of 1.2 to 1.5.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"newclim-000053#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"The relative contribution of developed countries to cumulative global emissions varies from 80% to 48% depending on whether recent emissions, non-CO2 GHGs, land-use change, and forestry CO2 are excluded or included and discounted for technological progress.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"newclim-000053#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Excluding non-CO2 GHGs and land-use change and forestry CO2 significantly impacts relative historical contributions, with multiplicative factors ranging from 0.15 to 1.5 compared to reference calculations covering 1850-2010.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"newclim-000053#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Different accounting adjustments shift the burden of contribution: excluding 2000–2010 emissions reduces contributions for most emerging economies (up to 0.8 factor), while discounting for technological progress reduces some developed countries' contributions (0.8 factor) and increases some developing countries' contributions (1.2–1.5 factor).","ai_generated":true,"unit":"newclim-000053#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Deducting emissions for 'basic needs' reduces the contributions of countries with low per capita emissions by a factor of 0.3–0.5, and including projected emissions up to 2020 increases the relative contributions of emerging economies by a factor of 1.2 to 1.5.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"newclim-000053#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"}],"climate_tags":["greenhouse gas emissions"],"geography_discussed":[],"frame_perspective":[],"analysis_type":["comparative analysis"]},{"id":"newclim-000112","url":"https://climateinsightsdirectory.org/document/newclim-000112","title":"What the Paris Agreement means for Germany's climate action","publisher":{"name":"NewClimate Institute","organization":"newclimate-institute"},"document_type":"briefing","language":"en","date_published":null,"source_url":"http://www.newclimate.org/what-we-do/projects/what-the-paris-agreement-means-for-germanys-climate-action","generator":"Climate Insights Directory","generated_fields":["summary","key_insights","climate_tags","geography_discussed","analysis_type"],"summary":{"text":"The document argues that the Paris Agreement's goals—limiting temperature increases to well below 2°C and pursuing a 1.5°C limit—require Germany to increase its emissions reduction efforts.
