Fig. 4: Cross-model total abatement cost savings track under the cost-optimal joint abatement pathway between emission reduction and afforestation.

From: Optimizing afforestation pathways through economic cost mitigates China’s financial challenge of carbon neutrality

Fig. 4

A Total abatement cost reduction caused by the cost-optimal joint abatement pathway. B Percentage reduction of total abatement costs caused by the cost-optimal joint abatement pathway. C The dotted line represents the total abatement costs based on various models under the non-joint abatement pathway without afforestation based on various models; the solid line represents the total abatement costs under the cost-optimal joint abatement pathway based on various models. Cyan spectral shading is the range of total abatement costs under the non-joint abatement pathway without afforestation. Orange spectral shading is the range of total abatement costs under the cost-optimal joint abatement pathway between emission reduction and afforestation.
