🚨 New Paper Alert! We’ve synthesized 1,823 SCC estimates, revealing that typical values are too low. Our new approach, informed by expert insights, updates the SCC to $283/ton. Structural decisions matter! #climate #scc https://t.co/q0TMAAu1Tg

We're missing some of the biggest risks in climate change, and it's going to take interdisciplinary coordination on a level we've never seen before to fix it. https://t.co/Ib080E6oG4 #newresearch #climatechange

New report: Damages from climate change in the UK to reach 7.4% of GDP by 2100 under current policies, with a 1-in-20 chance of being greater than 16% of GDP. Benefits of stopping climate change are much more than the costs. @GRI_LSE @OpenModeling
