The Bali Action Plan calls for “ensuring the comparability of efforts” among developed Parties. The ability to compare pledges is seen as a vital element of ensuring a fair, equitable, and transparent global agreement. There are many metrics of comparability that one could examine, including level of effort taken domestically versus via international offsets, abatement costs, historical responsibility, among others, and metrics could be combined and weighted differently. In the interactive tool, we examine three metrics of comparability: percent change in absolute emission reductions, percent change in per capita emission reductions and percent change in emissions intensity reductions.
