Individual emissions in 2030 when global emissions are 30 GtCO2 and a poverty provision is included that puts a floor on individual emissions at 1 tCO2, raising the emissions of 2.7 billion people who emit less than 1 tCO2 (green area at the right). The red strip at the left between the “30” and “30P” arrows shows the extra reduction required of the high emitters to provide the headroom to achieve this floor. Relative to the same climate goal without a poverty provision (“30”), the cap that includes this poverty alleviation objective (“30P”) is lowered from 10.8 to 9.6 tCO2, and 1.30 instead of 1.13 billion people are under the cap.
