Greenhouse gas emissions per unit of value added (“GEVA”) — A corporate guide to voluntary climate action

Author

Listed:
  • Randers, Jorgen

Abstract

How much must I reduce my greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions if I want to do my fair share to contribute towards the global effort to keep global warming below a 2°C rise in average temperature over preindustrial times? This paper suggests an answer for nations and corporations that want to move ahead of legislation on a voluntary basis.
