OECD assesses costs and effectiveness of emission pledges from Copenhagen Accord
10-juin-2010
Many countries have pledged targets or actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Copenhagen Accord. New OECD analysis shows that these pledges go towards but are not ambitious enough to limit long-term temperature rise to 2°C. While not cheap, the costs of these pledges are limited compared to expected economic growth. Ambitious global action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is not only necessary, but also economically rational. Using market-based instruments to implement the pledges also has the potential to generate sizable fiscal revenues.
