Achieving decent living standards in emerging economies challenges national mitigation goals for CO2 emissions
2023
Overview
Emerging economies, low- and middle-income countries experiencing rapid population and GDP growth, face the challenge of improving their living standards while stabilizing CO
2
emissions to meet net-zero goals. In this study, we quantify the CO
2
emissions required for achieving decent living standards (DLS) in emerging economies. The results show that, compared to other regions, achieving DLS in emerging Asian and African economies will result in more additional CO
2
emissions, particularly in the DLS indicators of Mobility and Electricity. Achievement of DLS in emerging economies will result in 8.6 Gt of additional CO
2
emissions, which should not jeopardize global climate targets. However, a concerning trend arises as more than half of the emerging economies (62 out of 121) will face substantial challenges in aligning their expected emission growth for achieving DLS with their national emission mitigation targets.
Achieving decent living standards for global emerging economies is estimated to lead to an additional 8.6 Gt of CO
2
emission with more than half of emerging economies emitting additional CO
2
more than the value of their emission reduction commitments
