Abstract
Achieving the long-term temperature goal of the
Paris Agreement relies on every actor maximising
their effort to reduce emissions. Generic targets
claiming a basis in science have been used to justify
inequitable efforts that insufficiently stretch the
ambition of the best-resourced countries and
companies.
