Taking into account carbon debts since 1990 and future claims based on individual countries&#039; emission trajectories, the indicator uses the same cumulative per capita emissions approach to allocate responsibility for closing the mitigation gap between countries with a positive total excess carbon claim.

The additional carbon liability is highest in the United States and China, and highest per capita in the United Arab Emirates and Russia. Assumptions about the carbon debt significantly affect the results in most countries. The ability to pay for this responsibility is difficult for Iran, Kazakhstan and several BRICS+ members, unlike the G7 members.
