Notes

  1. According to the IPCC, these “options with net negative costs (no regrets opportunities) are defined as those options whose benefits such as reduced energy costs and reduced emissions of local/regional pollutants equal or exceed their costs to society, excluding the benefits of avoided climate change” (IPCC 2007, p. 9, Note 15).

  2. “Delayed emission reductions lead to investments that lock in more emission-intensive infrastructure and development pathways. This significantly constrains the opportunities to achieve lower stabilization levels ... and increases the risk of more severe climate change impacts” (IPCC 2007, p. 18).
