Multi-gas emission profiles for stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations: Emission implications of limiting global temperature increase to 2 degrees centigrade

Publication

In this report we present two CO2-equivalent emission profiles leading to two different stabilised greenhouse gas concentration levels. The contribution of the various greenhouse gas emissions is expressed in CO2-equivalent emissions. These equivalent emissions are determined by using the concept of Global Warming Potential (GWP). Moreover the radiative forcing of the emission profiles are summed resulting in CO2-equivalent concentration levels.
