Emmerling, J., Andreoni, P., Charalampidis, I. et al. A multi-model assessment of inequality and climate change. Nat. Clim. Chang

Objective:

• Investigate the link between climate change and inequality, quantifying the distributional implications of climate policies and climate change impacts

Case:

• Global countries

Methodology:

• 8 IAMs
• Scenario protocol developed by IPCC

Data Source

• IAMs Data
• carbon

Findings:

• Without climate impacts, a continuation of secular trends of persisting within-country inequality can be obtained

• Climate impacts are expeceted to increase the Gini index by about 1.4 points by 2100

• Global carbon prices lead to a modest and temporary increase in income inequality

• The combined effect of climate impacts, climate policy, and redistribution becomes inequality decreasing
• GDP losses reach on average 4.9% by the end of the century
