Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict Iran's CO2 emissions in 2030 under assumptions of two scenarios, i.e., business as usual (BAU) and the Sixth Development Plan (SDP), using multiple linear regression (MLR) and multiple polynomial regression (MPR) analysis, and find that Iran most likely will not meet its commitment to the Paris Agreement under BAU's assumptions; however, full implementation of the ambitiously shaped SDP could have met the target by end 2018.
