The Benefits of Climate Change Policies: Analytical and Framework Issues

The contributors address these important questions:
- What is the nature of avoided impact benefits from policies that limit global warming and how do these vary by sector or region?
- Can these benefits be quantified and monetized reliably?
- How do adaptation and mitigation policies interact?
- What is the nature of ancillary or nearer-term, local benefits of mitigation policies and how do they compare with other types of benefits?
- How does the risk of abrupt climate change affect these benefits?
- How might integrated assessment models help us to evaluate climate policy cost and benefit trade-offs?
- Are there new ways to work with risk-based approaches to look at mitigation policy alternatives?
