Analysing the conflicting requirements of the Framework Convention on Climate Change

摘要: The objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change imply conflicting constraints minimising concentrations and maximising emissions (i.e. emission restrictions). Carbon cycle models are readily used for ‘forward’ calculations future CO2 given specified ‘inverse’ problem deducing required to achieve concentration profiles. However these approaches (a) each geared only one side problem; (b) requires specification a particular pathway in terms either or concentrations. These limitations can be avoided by analysing relations between using formalism that optimises over all possible profiles, subject relevant both
