This category encompasses research aimed at identifying the relative contribution of different sectors, activities, and entities to global climate change. It includes research on the respective contributions of national governments and private corporations to increases in global greenhouse gas concentrations (through both emissions and land use changes). It also includes research on the respective obligations of different entities to mitigate their contributions to climate change.
