Current weather extremes, including storms, floods and drought, affect millions of people across the world. Climate change is putting water security at risk; threatening agricultural and other supply chains as well as many coastal cities. The likelihood of severe pervasive and irreversible impacts will grow without action to limit and reverse the growth of GHG emissions globally. Last year’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report makes clear the overwhelming need to take action now on climate change and that the costs of inaction will only rise. The challenge is to decarbonize our economies by 2100 with action in the next decades being critical. The choices made by government, the private sector, and civil society as part of the transition to a decarbonized economy will determine the extent of future climate impacts but also provide an opportunity to unlock investment and build an innovative, dynamic low-carbon economy.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOEMISSION ALLOWANCESCARBONTAXTOTAL EMISSIONSREGIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVECARBON CONTENTCLEANER TECHNOLOGIESSULPHUR DIOXIDEDOMESTIC CARBONFOSSIL FUELSCARBON DIOXIDEAIR QUALITYEMISSION INTENSITYGAS TURBINESGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSEMISSIONS LEVELSCARBONALUMINUMNITROGEN OXIDESCONVERGENCESTORMSCOSTS OF EMISSIONSWINDCLEAN ENERGYEMISSIONSEMISSIONTRADINGPROPANEINTERNATIONAL EMISSIONSCARBON MARKETSGREENHOUSE EMISSIONSINCENTIVESEMISSION REDUCTIONGHGSEMISSION CONTROLGASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONNOXCLIMATECHANGEEMISSIONTRADINGSYSTEMEMISSION REDUCTIONSCARBON TECHNOLOGIESAIRGREENHOUSE GASCARBON LEAKAGEFERTILIZERSCARBON MITIGATIONCARBON BUDGETSBOILERSBIOMASSEMISSION TRADING SYSTEMCO2IRONAIR POLLUTIONNEGATIVE IMPACTEMISSION RATEENERGY MIXCARBON CAPTURERETROFITTINGEMISSION LEVELSFLOODSOXIDESCAPACITYGHGREGIONAL CARBONFUEL USEOIL PRODUCTSGLOBAL WARMINGPETROLEUMGASDIFFUSIONCARBON TAXESEMISSIONS LEAKAGECARBON ECONOMYLAND DEGRADATIONEMISSIONS PRICESEMISSIONS MITIGATIONFORESTRYEMISSION TRADINGGAS EMISSIONSENERGY POLICYFUELSFUEL SWITCHINGAMOUNT OF EMISSIONSGREENHOUSE GASESCLEAN TECHNOLOGIESCARBON EMISSIONSLAND USEEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSSULPHURNATIONAL EMISSIONSGREENHOUSEEMISSIONCARBLEADIPCCCLIMATE CHANGEDROUGHTREGIONAL EMISSIONSCARBONTAXESCARBON CREDITSCARBON REGULATIONGREENHOUSEGASCARBON TRADINGEMISSIONS DATAELECTRICITYSECONDARY MARKETSEMISSIONS VALUESFOSSIL FUEL USECLIMATEDEFORESTATIONGREENHOUSE-GASFOSSILFUELSFOSSIL FUELCARBON PRICENITROUS OXIDECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE LEVYFORESTCARBON ENERGYCARBON OFFSETCARBONPRICESEMISSION-REDUCTIONDUSTENERGY PRODUCTIONSOLAR POWERGAS EMISSIONEMISSIONS ALLOWANCESENERGY EFFICIENCYFOREST LANDNATURAL GASEMISSIONS FROM FUELCARBON PRICESEMISSIONS TAXESCOMBUSTIONGREENHOUSE GAS INITIATIVENITROGENFUEL PRICECOALFUEL TYPEFUEL OILCARBON MARKETLESSINTERNATIONALEMISSIONSLOW-CARBONCLEAN TECHNOLOGYSO2METHANEEMISSIONS FROM FUEL COMBUSTIONRENEWABLE ENERGYPETROLEUM PRODUCTSGASESCARBON TAXEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSION TAXESDIESELCARBONIZATIONFREEZEPRICESLIQUIFIEDPETROLEUMGASNEGATIVE IMPACTSBENEFITSCARBONDIOXIDEINDUSTRIAL EMISSIONSENERGYEMISSION CONTROL STRATEGIESReportWorld Bank10.1596/22641
