Valuing Health Outcomes

How Much to Stabilize our Climate?:
A Review of Recent Estimates


An RFF First Wednesday Seminar
Wednesday, January 16, 2008
12:45 - 2:00 p.m.
A light buffet lunch will be available at 12:30 p.m.


A recent study by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program updated scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions and concentrations. Three modeling teams (from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Stanford and the Electric Power Research Institute) used integrated assessment models to compare alternative reference case scenarios. The speakers will discuss the study results and their implications for future emissions, the energy system, and the economy if CO2 concentrations are stabilized at different levels. The analysis focuses exclusively on mitigation costs and does not examine the avoided damages associated with stabilization.
