If growth in OECD countries was stopped, would it be sufficient to meet the climate targets?

Growth in global CO 2 emissions is currently far greater th a n what corresponds to the international climate targets (increase in global temperature limited to 2°C by the end of the century). A possible improvement scenario would consist in stopping growth in OECD countries, while letting the poorest continuing enjoy vigorous growth. When assessing the effects of this scenario on global CO 2 emissions, we see that it would reduce their growth by only 13% of what would have to be done to meet the climate targets: at unchanged technology, stopping growth in OECD countries is far from sufficient to comply with the objectives to reduce global CO 2 emissions: such a stop would reduce growth global CO 2 emissions from 1.9% per year to 1.3% per year, as the OECD countries’ emissions account for only 30% of total emissions .
