Description:

Figure TS.24 legend: Panel a: Shares of global GHG emissions under national climate change legislations – in 2010, 2015 and 2020. Climate legislation is defined as an act passed by a parliament that includes the reduction of GHGs in its title or objectives. Panel b: Shares of global GHG emissions under national climate emission targets – in 2010, 2015 and 2020. Emissions reductions targets were taken into account as a legislative target when they were defined in a law or as part of a country's submission under the Kyoto Protocol, or as an executive target when they were included in a national policy or official submissions under the UNFCCC. Targets were included if they were economy wide or included at least the energy sector. The proportion of national emissions covered are scaled to reflect coverage and whether targets are in GHG or CO2 terms. Emissions data used are for 2019. 2020 data was excluded as emissions shares across regions deviated from past patterns due to COVID-19. AR6 regions: DEV = Developed countries; APC = Asia and developing Pacific; EEA = Eastern Europe and West-Central Asia; AFR = Africa; LAM = Latin America and the Caribbean; MDE = Middle East. {Figure 13.1 and 13.2}

Earth Syst. Sci. Data, 13, 5213–5252, 38 doi:10.5194/essd-13-5213-2021. Data Processing or treatment: The figure represents updated data till the end of calendar year 2020, using the same methodology as Iacobuta et al. 2018. The coding of countries was slightly changed from that in the publication of Iacobuta et al. (2018), by excluding executive climate change strategies and reporting on climate change legislation only. We addressed a total number of 189 countries, as GHG emissions data was missing for some of the previously assessed countries. Our database consists of all UNFCCC parties minus: Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, South Sudan, Palestine and San Marino due to missing GHG emissions data; the EU as a group of countries (we only show individual member states). Moreover, Serbia and Montenegro shown together due to lack of disaggregated GHG emissions. Regional aggregation is based on Annex II of the AR6 WGIII Report, 2022
