Fig. 7: Optimal mitigation and its effects.
From: Investment incentive reduced by climate damages can be restored by optimal policy
a Optimal emission reduction rates are almost identical for the two assumptions of investment behaviour. b Economically optimal mitigation limits warming to almost 2 °C by 2100. c With unmitigated climate change, temperature-sensitive productivity decreases to ~86% by 2100, while economically optimal mitigation protects the economy from major productivity losses.
