What are the costs, benefits and technical potential of mitigating climate change across different global regions and sectors?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate action through strong international leadership.

Avoiding dangerous climate change: analysis with an integrated assessment model
One of the most important issues in climate policy over the next few years will be the choice of appropriate targets for emission reductions (known as mitigation). Article 2 of the United Nations Framework Convention on ...
Funded by: NERC
Why might this be relevant?
The project uses an integrated assessment model to provide risk assessments of damages avoided under different mitigation scenarios, and assesses uncertainties arising from climate model parameters, economic and impacts modules, and future socioeconomic scenarios.
