Are governments doing their “fair share”? - New method assesses climate action
نویسندگان
چکیده
For the first time, the method we have developed provides a comprehensive overview of many different viewpoints on what could be considered a “fair” contribution for each of over 30 countries, and for the periods 2020, 2025, 2030 and 2050. It is based on a very wide range of literature from researchers from the north and south that was initially collected for the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5).

متن کاملSpeeding up the Convergence of Estimated Fair Share in Csfq
Core-stateless Fair Queueing (CSFQ) is a scheme to achieve approximate fair bandwidth sharing without perflow state in the interior routers. The extra packets that beyond the fair share for each flow are dropped probabilistically based on the attached flow rate in the packet header and the estimated fair share. A heuristic method is used to estimate the fair share in CSFQ. In our previous work ...
