File:Equitable energy reduction scenarios in 27 European countries.webp

English: "a,c,e, Annual total consumption-based household emissions in GtCO2e 2020–2050 in 27 European countries. BAU, business as usual. b,d,f, Cumulative total consumption-based household emissions in GtCO2e 2020–2050 in 27 European countries. The orange line represents the carbon budget for the 27 European countries based on their EPC share of the 500 GtCO2e global carbon budget defined by the IPCC4. The dashed orange line represents the GDR carbon budget for the 27 countries based on Robiou du Pont et al.8 a,b, Scenario (1): annual and cumulative emissions based on a one-off reduction of the top 10% and top 20% of energy consumers down to the 90th and 80th percentile of energy use, respectively, and reducing energy use above the mean to the mean, on top of an annual emissions reduction rate of 1.4% (average reduction for the European Union from 2010 to 2019). The top-end energy reduction scenarios without ‘poverty uplift’ (dotted and dashed lines) are compared with those that increase energy use of the bottom 20% of consumers in poverty up to the 20th percentile of energy use (solid lines and dashed-dotted line). c,d, Scenario (2): annual and cumulative emissions based on the same parameters as scenario (1) but with an additional emissions reduction of top-level energy consumers by 10% every five years. e,f, Scenario (3): annual and cumulative emissions based on annual emissions reduction rates (a.r.) that achieve the EPC and GDR budgets for Europe with and without top-level reductions. The dashed line in e refers to reducing above-mean consumption to the mean and an additional 20% emissions reduction by this group in the first five years.
