Carbon Debt Explorer IIASA · ECE program

Regional carbon budgets and debt

Distribute the remaining carbon budget across IAMC R10 regions using population (and optionally GDP) as equity weights, then compare each region's fair share against cumulative emissions under a chosen future pathway. Allocation math is sourced from fair-shares — for deeper analysis, extensions, or your own allocation work, use the library directly.

Carbon debt by region, 2050

Vertical axis: projected cumulative emissions minus allocation to 2050 (GtCO₂); positive means debt. Horizontal axis: the region's total per-capita emissions relative to its fair share (> 1 means it overdraws its allocation).

Per-capita emissions trajectories

Historical tCO₂ per person (solid line) and projected scenario range (dashed median with shaded band). One line per R10 region.
