This is shown by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in their analysis of the emission targets from 159 countries.

Guardian: Negotiators paving the way for a global climate change agreement in Paris have cleared a major hurdle, producing a draft accord in record time and raising hopes that a full week of minister-led talks can now clinch a deal despite many sticking points.

Climate Home: A Paris climate agreement must not let ships off the hook for their greenhouse gas emissions, delegates heard at a side event of COP21 on Saturday. Accounting for 2-3% of global emissions today, the sector`s share is projected to grow to 6-14% by 2050 as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) refuses to cap carbon. If not addressed, this will make it hard to meet a UN goal to hold global warming to 2C or even 1.5C, experts warned. Tony de Brum, foreign minister of the Marshall Islands,...
