03. Abatement costs

Every six years, Working Group III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change publishes a major assessment of the costs of emission reduction. The information is layered, with a Summary for Policy Makers with high-level information, Technical Summaries with more detail, and multiple chapters with a lot of detail and references to the underlying literature. The Fourth Assessment Report is the latest.

The Energy Modeling Forum regularly organize model comparison exercises on abatement costs. Recent and relevant are EMF25, EMF22, and EMF21.
