Sharing emission space at an equitable basis: Allocation scheme based on the equal cumulative emission per capita principle.

Highlights: [•] An allocation scheme based on equal per capita cumulative emission is presented. [•] This scheme enables the considerations of different historical responsibilities. [•] Country-specific trajectories are adjusted according to the global emission pathway. [•] Allowances and peaking years are quantitatively analyzed. [•] This new allocation scheme is compared with five others. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
