Incremental costs of climate action
- Mitigation cost as % GWP:
  Assuming a total global mitigation cost of $1,188 billion (1.0% of GWP), this yields a global average incremental mitigation cost of $33 per tonne CO₂e in 2030.
- Adaptation cost as % GWP:
Kyoto obligations
- Include Kyoto obligations
- Exclude Kyoto obligations
- Exclude for only US & Canada
Mitigation smoothing
- Average the mitigation-period RCI

Baseline Emissions: GHG emissions baselines (these are *not* business-as-usual pathways) are calculated as counter-factual non-policy baselines. The method applies recent improvements of carbon intensity to GDP forecast estimates. GDP estimates based on national data from the IMF's Worls Economic Outlook (WEO)for the next 5 years and then on regional data from IPCC (Fifth Assessment Report) through 2030. See Definition, sourcing, and updating of the emissions baselines for details.
"Fair share" allocation: National allocation trajectory, as calculated for World using the specified pathways and parameters. The mitigation implied by this allocation can be either domestic or international – The Climate Equity Reference Project effort-sharing framework says nothing about how or where it occurs.
