Key policy issues

• What global greenhouse gas emissions pathways would meet the well below 2 °C climate target?
• What is the effect of effort-sharing approaches on regional and national emission reduction targets and on the cost of climate policies?
• What is the effect of the NDCs on achieving the long term 2 ºC target?
• What are the trade-offs between mitigation costs, adaptation costs, and climate change damage?
