Liu, Y., Du, M., Cui, Q. et al. Contrasting suitability and ambition in regional carbon mitigation. Nat Commun

Objective:

• Contrast the average reduction cost of carbon against the potential benefit, valued to be equivalent to the scocial cost of carbon (SCC)

Case:

• 27 global countries and regions

Methodology:

• IAMs: AIM/CGE, GCAM, REMIND-MAGPIE, IMAGE, and WITCH-GLOBIOM
• RCC: GTAP-E model

Data Source

• GTAP
• Emission

Findings:

• Higher mitigation targets tend to have higher global average reduction cost of carbon (RCC)
