DESCRIPTION:With the Paris Agreement\, countries agreed to limit global wa
 rming to well below 2 °C and pursue efforts to 1.5 °C. Equitable distrib
 ution across countries of emissions rights consistent with these goals is 
 contentious and involves divergent views of distributive justice. With the
  absence of consensus on an equitable effort-sharing approach\, current ne
 gotiations under the UNFCCC follow an uncoordinated\, or ‘bottom-up’\,
  approach where each country tends to support its favoured approach of equ
 ity. The sum of all parties’ announced contributions is not consistent w
 ith the Paris Agreement mitigation goals.\n\nFirstly\, this talk reviews t
 he challenges of quantifying equitable effort-sharing approaches to derive
  national emissions trajectories consistent with the 2°C and 1.5°C goals
 . Secondly\, a novel self-differentiated\, or 'bottom-up'\, attribution of
  equity approaches consistent with the 'top-down' global Paris Agreement g
 oals is introduced. This novel 'hybrid' combination of equity approaches p
 rovides a temperature scale inclusive of all national positions\, to asses
 s the ambition of the Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agr
 eement.
