IPCC WGIII Fourth Assessment Report, Second Order Draft

too technical for an SPM. Explain in simple terms.
(Government of Environment Canada)
Discuss issues that influence social cost of carbon and benefits of
avoided climate change as shown by Figure 3.45. Indicate that the
interdependency of adaptation, mitigation and avoided damages is
important (3.5.2)
(Government of Germany)
8 A 8 16 8 21 Add: For some regions and sectors and even on a global scale
benefits outweigh mitigation costs. Merge this section with section
C12., page 11, line 37-41or refer to it.
(Government of Germany)
8 A 8 16 0 0 Add full paragraph on adaptation and stress importance of
interaction between adaptation and mitigation (refer to ch. 2.6.2,
2.6.3 and 3.5 and 11.9). In light of quantitive research studies
(section 11.9.1) mention that interaction exists and may inhibit
synergies and trade-offs depending on the sector and region under
consideration. Link mitigation and adaptation to emissions
pathways and costs.

8 B 8 16 8 17 “Comparing mitigation costs with the benefits of avoided climate
change damages and other co-benefits is very complex.” The
wording here is poor; how hard the analysts had to work is not the
salient point. Suggest changing wording to something like: “While
