If the threshold that triggers climate catastrophe is known with certainty, and the benefits of avoiding catastrophe … net benefits of avoiding catastrophe are lower, treaties typically fail to help countries cooperate to avoid catastrophe …, sustaining only modest cuts in emissions. These results are unaffected by uncertainty about the impact of catastrophe. By …

This study represents the first attempt at an integrated approach to assessing the potential impacts of climate change … outcomes by about 2050. The results show the multiple impacts of climate change and the importance of spatial and temporal … variation in these impacts. The study focused in particular on the potential impacts of climate change on the water supply …
