Multi Criteria Rules for Equitable Allocation of GHGs Emission Reduction at a Country Scale- Iran

The adverse effects of climate change can be combated just by application of emissions reduction policies based on Equity concept. This research applies different combinations of principles in order to explore different kinds of burden sharing rules at a country scale (Iran) on the premise of reduction target, economic development and the fulfillment of regional equity. As a result, a 20% cut in Iran’s GHGs emission will lead to 7-9% reduction of GDP over 2010-2020 and the model which assigns a greater weight to the criteria of CO2 per Added Value, demonstrated to be the most viable economical choice that is also fully supportive of less developed provinces.
