Schematics of the metrics used to quantify inequalities associated with transboundary air pollution across different climate futures. (a) Transboundary fractions (TF) characterize the extent of co-benefits in a country that come from external action; co-benefits are the premature deaths avoided owing to reduced PM2.5 concentrations. (b) Exchanges (EXC) compare co-benefits from emission reductions between a pair of countries or regions; the contribution to total benefits exchanged (TEC) indicates how much a country contributes to the total gross co-benefits exchanged between two countries. Figure 1 was created using Python and the Matplotlib, Cartopy, GeoPandas, and Contextily libraries. Country borders and coastlines are from Natural Earth (public domain), and the basemap is from CartoDB Positron (CC BY 4.0).
