Applying fairness in sub-national carbon budget allocations University of Graz, Austria The role of sub-national actors such as cities, states and regions to mitigate climate change is increasingly recognized, reflected by numerous net-zero commitments. While their timing and emissions pathways imply a specific regional carbon budget, the underlying normative reasoning provided for their choice generally remains poor. We here propose a method to close this gap. Starting from an allocation to the (supra-)national level, we argue for a transparent normative basis for the further allocation across sub-national regions and implement such an allocation for the EU Member States in their NUTS-2 regional breakdown. We conclude that two carbon budgets, one for production-based emissions, one for consumption-based emissions, each derived according to the appropriate criteria, need to be followed, as regional governance levers and the sources of regional welfare concern both. Thereby, fair regional carbon budgets constitute a valuable benchmark to embrace sub-national agency within the multilevel governance of climate change. | |
