The international climate negotiations have moved away from targets such as keeping warming below 2°C in favour of more realistic goals. This column presents new evidence on the economic impacts of climate change.

Poverty reduction therefore complements greenhouse gas emissions reduction as a means to reduce the impacts of climate change.
