Chapter 3. Implications of future climate regime architectures 136<br />

2 Regional emission allowances<br />

This section presents emission allowances for five possible future climate<br />

change architectures 1 consistent with emission pathways towards 450, 550 and<br />

650 ppmv CO2eq. for the years 2020 and 2050 - the calculation outcomes have to<br />

meet the global emissions reference points mentioned above. For this<br />

comparison of future architectures the Evolution of Commitments tool (EVOC)<br />

is used.<br />

2.1 Overview of approaches<br />

The following approaches are included in the calculation of emission<br />

allowances:<br />

• Contraction and convergence (Chapter 2, Section 2.1.2.2) by 2050<br />

• Common but differentiated convergence (Chapter 2, Section 2.1.2.3)<br />

• Multistage (Chapter 2, Section 2.1.2.1)<br />

• Global Triptych (Chapter 2, Section 2.1.2.4)<br />

1 Höhne et al. (2007) include six different architectures, however, here only five are considered.<br />

Greenhouse gas intensity targets for all countries seem a less realistic case.<br />
