Climate Economics
Understanding the economic effects of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions is essential to assessing climate change scenarios. EPA assesses the economic implications of policies to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the U.S. economy. These economy–wide analyses are complemented by studies in key areas of economic interaction in climate scenarios, including the mitigation of non–CO2 greenhouse gases, and carbon sequestration and land use change in the forestry and agriculture sector. Given the long time horizon of global greenhouse gas concentrations, EPA also analyzes long term climate scenarios.
