Extended Smooth Pathway Model (ESPM)
Calculation of Paris-compatible emission paths and emission targets
The ESPM consists of two
calculation steps:
(here is a brief background paper on the ESPM)
1. Determination of a national budget.
2. Derive plausible emission pathways that adhere to this budget.

With the help of an Excel tool that can be downloaded from zenodo here, national budgets can be calculated for all countries in the world using a weighting model (see description "step 1" below). These national budgets can then be used in our universal web app. Which emissions are covered depends on the database used. |

The user must set the budget himself without assistance. |

To calculate the emission paths, the tools use the Regensburg Model Scenario Types (here is a brief description). These scenario types represent the entire range of plausible emission paths. Which scenario type makes sense in each case must be decided scientifically based on an overall climate policy view. |
