A Human Development Framework for CO2 Reductions
Figure 5
CO2 emissions reduction framework based on HDI.
The reduction framework proposes four domains of climate action that are both fair in an historical perspective and constrained by current technological developments. Reserving a fairness domain for developing countries implies that their participation in climate efforts can be operated in a voluntary basis. The development threshold of 0.8 HDI is taken from United Nations Development Report 2009 [34].
