Compensation for the appropriation of atmospheric fair shares of the world's lowest emitters was estimated at 192 trillion U.S. dollars between 2020 and 2050, in a net-zero by 2050 scenario. The United States had the largest climate debt worldwide, owing about 80 trillion U.S. dollars due to its carbon budget overshooting. Ranking second was the European Union and the United Kingdom combined, with reparations amounting to 46 trillion U.S. dollars based on historical emissions from 1960 to 2019. Meanwhile, India – with a Cumulative compensation due from carbon overshooting country groups to undershooting country groups from 2020 to 2050 (in trillion U.S. dollars)
