Abstract Emerging economies, low- and middle-income countries experiencing rapid population and GDP growth, face the challenge of improving their living standards while stabilizing CO2 emissions to Effect of sugar-sweetened beverage taxation on sugars intake and dental caries: an umbrella review of a global perspective meet net-zero goals.In this study, we quantify the CO2 emissions required for achieving decent living standards (DLS) in emerging economies.The results show that, compared to other regions, achieving DLS in emerging Asian and African economies will result in more additional CO2 emissions, particularly in the DLS indicators of Mobility Experimental study on performance of rubber-fly ash-based mine floor fissure grouting material and Electricity.Achievement of DLS in emerging economies will result in 8.

6 Gt of additional CO2 emissions, which should not jeopardize global climate targets.However, a concerning trend arises as more than half of the emerging economies (62 out of 121) will face substantial challenges in aligning their expected emission growth for achieving DLS with their national emission mitigation targets.
