Chapter 3. Implications of future climate regime architectures 141<br />

after 2010), growth is then slowed and eventually turned into a reduction (see<br />

Figure 4 right).<br />

Figure 3 - 4. Illustrative pathway for an Annex I country (left) and a Non-Annex I country (right).<br />

It has already been presented in Section 2 that it is “unlikely” that the<br />

2°C will be met (70%-100% risk of stabilizing above) with stabilization of at 550<br />

ppmv CO2eq. (Hare and Meinshausen, 2004; Meinshausen, 2005). Therefore, the<br />

assessment of implications of different future climate change regime<br />

architectures on countries’ emission allowances are going to be made mainly for<br />

the 450 ppmv CO2eq. level of ambition. Then, the main differences between<br />

these results and the results for the other two level of ambitions – 550 and 650<br />

ppmv CO2eq – are going to be assessed.<br />

2.2.1 450 ppmv CO2eq.<br />

The first step in the evaluation is a more general comparison of emission<br />

reduction levels for Annex I (on the left side of Figure 5) and non-Annex I (on<br />

the right side of Figure 5) regions. Figure 5 depicts the change in the regional<br />

emission allowances compared to the baseline levels for 17 aggregated regions 1,<br />

1 Calculations were done at the level of 17 regions. Annex I countries, placed on the left hand-side of<br />

Figures 5, 6 and 7: EU15 (Old EU Member States), USA, EU25, FRA (France), GER(Germany), UK,<br />

RUS+EEU (Russia and the rest of Annex I countries from Eastern Europe), JPN (Japan), RAI (Rest of<br />

Annex I – Australia, Canada...). Non-Annex I subgroups include (situated on the right hand side): REEU<br />

(Rest of Eastern Europe or former soviet states), LAM (Latin America), AFR (Africa), ME (Middle East),<br />

SAsia (South Asia, mainly India), CPAsia (Centrally planned Asia, mainly China), Easia (East Asia).<br />
