Which emissions do the national budgets cover here?                    
The national budgets refer to all anthropogenic CO2 emissions exlusive ISA. GCP uses three different sources for LUC, which can vary significantly. The mean value was used here, as GCP also does at the global level.
The global budget to be allocated here has been calculated accordingly (see the ‘base data global budget' sheet).
Extended Smooth Pathway Model (ESPM)                      
Basic idea behind the ESPM:
1. National budgets: A predefined global CO2 budget is distributed to countries. The ESPM offers the weighted distribution key also used here for this purpose.
2. National paths: The ESPM offers the Regensburg Model Scenario Types RM 1 - 6 to derive plausible national paths that adhere to a national budget.

The national budgets calculated here can be used in the following web application to calculate different national emission paths that all adhere to the given budget:

AW:
For LUC, GCP uses three different sources, some of which provide significantly different values. The average is used.

AW:
Interpretation:

    CS > 0.8 (80%): High Consensus. The models provide very similar results; the national budget allocation is highly reliable.

    CS 0.4 – 0.8: Moderate Consensus. There is a noticeable spread, suggesting the budget should be viewed as a corridor.

    CS < 0.4 (40%): Low Consensus. The models deviate significantly. This often occurs in transition periods (e.g., EU 1990s) where inventory data and bookkeeping models reflect different historical dynamics.

AW:
GCP uses the average of three databases for LUC (BLUE, OSCAR and LUCE).

Interpretation of Values:

    Low CV (< 0.2 / 20%): High model convergence. The scientific calculations are highly consistent; the derived national budget is based on a robust data foundation.

    Moderate CV (0.2 – 0.5 / 20% – 50%): Significant discrepancies between models. The resulting budget should be understood as a corridor with a degree of uncertainty.

    High CV (> 0.5 / > 50%): Strong theoretical discrepancies between models. This often occurs in regions with complex land-use dynamics or insufficient historical inventory data.

    Extreme CV (> 1.0 / > 100%): These values typically occur when a country's net emissions are near zero or when models contradict each other regarding the sign (i.e., one model calculates a carbon sink while another calculates a source). In these instances, the mean (μ) is statistically unstable ("Low Agreement on Sign"), leading to mathematically outsized CV values.
