Abstract

Cooperation between countries is key to avoiding the most severe impacts of climate change. Under current policies, the world will face temperatures of 3oC above pre-industrial levels by 2100. Developing countries hold three quarters of the cost-effective mitigation needed in 2030 under 1.5oC pathways, but currently lack the capability to make it happen and historically have contributed least to the problem. If higher- and lower-income countries fail to work together to unlock that mitigation, the world will lock in dangerous climate change. Providing conventional climate finance to lower-income countries is crucial but is not the only option – nor has it been sufficient so far.
