Main findings:
– Countries with low historical emissions & GDP per capita are more likely to cite equity principles from international law.
– Most countries choose principles that support their current ambition level.
– Developed countries often avoid legal fairness references.

The U.S. NDC aims to cut net GHG emissions by 61–66% below 2005 levels by 2035. But using the ED-GCB model, we find:
– 3x overshoot under equal per capita share
– 5x overshoot when equity is fully considered (responsibility, capacity, development rights)
– 3x overshoot under equal per capita share
– 5x overshoot when equity is fully considered (responsibility, capacity, development rights)
