DEF

[An approach that] analyzes greenhouse gas emissions as they would be constrained by adopting a long-term climate - rather than greenhouse gas concentration stabilization - target (e.g. expressed in terms of temperature or sea level changes or the rate of such changes).

OBS

The main objective of this approach is to evaluate the implications of such long-term targets for short or medium-term "tolerable" ranges of global greenhouse gas emissions.

DEF

[Approche qui] analyse les émissions de gaz à effet de serre comme si elles étaient limitées par l'adoption d'un objectif climatique à long terme - plutôt que dans le cas d'une stabilisation des concentrations d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre (exprimé en termes de variations de température, de niveau de la mer, ou du rythme de ces variations, par exemple).

OBS

Cette approche vise essentiellement à évaluer les implications de ces objectifs à long terme pour des fourchettes à court ou moyen terme offrant des fenêtres d'opportunité pour les émissions de gaz à effet de serre mondiales.
