Scope of the study and the presentaion
• We search the ideal case of an efficient 2 °C scenario by imposing global CO2 budgets while the BASE case respects the INDCs for up 2030 but then departs
• It is a SBA not a CBA, but we evaluate benefits in a POA simulation like e.g.,• Reduction of expected Climate Damages of the 2°C policy case versus the BASE case
• Expected benefits of the improved LAP of the 2°C case versus the BASE case
• Then, we apply burden sharing rules and capital transfers to convincedLDCs to perticipate into a global commitment (potential extension of thepresent INDCs pledges).

West Europe
• Europe’s cumulative GDP loss in the least cost 2DS solution is 3.3%. Europe has already emitted it’s equitable share of emissions and so trades accordingly causing GDP losses of 4% - 10% GDP depending upon the share of future emissions allowed to be emitted

• Efficient solution Global GDP losses of 5.14% with strong regional differences
• Eqalitarian rule I: Picture good for LDcs in the first half, bad in the second one
• Equal relative GDP losses II: balanced but not quite fine for LDCs
• Full GDP compensation for LDCs III: balanced but industrialised countries pay high costs
• Full EC compensation for LDCs IV: industrialised countries pay less LDCs have energy investments covered

GDP Losses and Gains (negative) per rule in %

Even at zero discount rate GDP losses of GCC policies are reduced from 5.14% to3.4%; that means the costs of GCC control remains higher than benefits.
Conclusions
• The 2oC is technically feasible and with burden sharing can also be equitable.
• The mitigation costs can be reduced if avoided damages (0.71%) and the co-benefits of LAP control
(1.05%) are considered in BS. All together about 1.76% of the GDP of BASE case.
• But control costs are not fully balanced and remain higher than benefits even at zero discount rate.
• Equal relative GDP losses is a balanced burden sharing allocation but not perfect for LDCs
while the full compensation of the energy system cost for the LDCs needs the lowest capital transfers.
• Equitable burden sharing rules based on past and future per capita emission budgets (a kind of Brazilian approach) require the highest capital transfers
• Key technologies for power generation and LAP reduction are wind, solar PV, Nuclear, Coal/Gas with CCS
• BECCS based on biomass while good for CO2 reduction generate PM.
