Record 1 1993-11-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Economics
  • Environmental Law
  • Climate Change
DEF

The year used as the base for emissions.

OBS

Because of variations from year to year it is appropriate to take a three or five year period such as 1985-87, or 1985-89 as the base year.

CONT

Using 1987 or 1988 as reference years would require CO2 emissions by 2000 at levels 1.5 % and 9 % lower, respectively, than that for 1990.

French

L'instauration de quotas d'émission par pays se heurte au problème du critère d'attribution initiale : par habitant? par unité de PIB? sur la base des émissions d'une année de référence?
