Multi-gas emission envelopes to meet greenhouse gas concentration targets

The aim of this study is to develop multi-gas emission envelopes (consistent sets of emission pathways) for the six greenhouse gases (GHGs) covered under the Kyoto Protocol (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs and SF₆) that are compatible with stabilising GHG concentrations. The ultimate aim is to avoid dangerous climate change.
