2 Main Findings and Conclusions (1/2) CO2 emissions from fossil fuels in 2013 by group of countries (slide 6) shows the discrepancies between emissions from OECD and non OECD countries (40 % versus 60 %), the large relative parts of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa: 40 % of which 27 % from China), and in OECD countries the large part (1/3 rd ) from the three main economies: USA (17 %), European Union (EU: 11 %) and Japan (4 %). Common bilateral positions and proposals between major emitters such as [China + USA] (44 % of world CO2 emissions) and [USA + EU] (32 %) could help to define and to implement effective policies and measures to decrease CO2 emissions. Detailed CO2 emissions from countries shows the large share from a limited number of countries: ¾ of world CO2 emissions in 2013 are from only 9 countries (considering EU as one country, see slide 7), and ¾ in the EU from only 7 countries (slide 8). 80 % of world emissions are from only 12 countries, 90 % from only 27 countries and 95 % from only 41 countries (see table in slide 9). If EU countries are considered separately (see table in slide 25), 90 % of world CO2 emissions in 2012 were from only 33 countries representing 73 % of the world population. Those discrepancies are even more obvious for the shares of the 1100 Gt of cumulative emissions of CO2 from fossil fuels on (slide 9): ¼ from USA, more than ½ form only 5 countries, and more than ¾ from only 20 countries. Forget average world CO2 emissions per capita : looking only to this average (5,35 tco2 per capita emitted from burning fossil fuels and cement production in 2012) hides the unsustainable discrepancies of this fundamental parameter between countries, not speaking of discrepancies within each country between emissions by their classes of inhabitants (rural versus urban, high income versus low income ). Near 80 % of world 2012 CO2 emissions are from countries with mean emissions per capita higher than the world average of 5.35 tco2/capita (slide 12), and 40 % of world population emit more than this average (slide 13). Those large discrepancies between emissions per capita in the different countries require a detailed analysis base both on actual data and case studies and on a model which is proposed here (see next slide). 2

3 Main Findings and Conclusions (2/2) 22 case studies based on 2012 CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement production from group of countries are presented: 11 for the most CO2 emitting per capita group of countries (slide 14) and 11 for the less CO2 emitting per capita group of countries (slide 15) 4 countries (case study 2 on slide 14) with only 10.8 Million inhabitants and emitting more than 33 tco2/capita emitted more than 1.2 % of the world CO2 in 2012: 405 MtCO2, more than from the less emitting 1.2 billion inhabitants. 14 countries or territories (case study 4 on slide 14) with 5.67 % of world population (393 M people) and emitting more than 19.3 tco2/capita emitted more than 20 % of the world CO2 in 2012 (6.8 btco2, more than the aggregated CO2 emissions from the less emitting 4 billion inhabitants on our planet) More than 1.5 billion people (22 % of world population, case study N 15 in table 15) emitting less than 1.63 tco2/year (or less than 31 % of the world average of 5.35 tco2/capita in 2012) emitted only 2 % of the world CO2 (661 Mt), less than the 731 MtCO2 emitted by the 81.5 million inhabitants of Germany. Near 100 million people in four countries or territories (1.43 % of world population, case study N 22 in table 15) and emitting less than 43 kgco2/capita in 2012 or less than 0.8 % of the world 2012 average of 5350 kgco2/capita) emitted only 4.1 MtCO2 in 2012, less than the 4.21 MtCO2 emitted by the.256 thousand inhabitants of the New Caledonia territory. The best model to describe those discrepancies in CO2 emissions per capita versus the cumulated number of inhabitants is a logarithmic one (slides 17 and 18). The related curve of the cumulative % of world CO2 emissions versus the cumulative % of inhabitants describes fits very well with actual data and case studies (slides 19 to 22). Comparison of this curve with a fair perfect theoretical distribution model of emissions (slide 23) shows clearly how unsustainable is the present distribution of CO2 emissions per capita, and puts in evidence the required dramatic decrease in CO2 emissions per capita to change this situation by deciding and implementing fair and efficient energy and climate change policies and measures. 3
