The clean energy R&D strategy for 2°C
Marangoni, Giacomo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2013
This paper uses an integrated assessment model to quantify the climate R&D investment strategy for a variety of scenarios fully consistent with 2°C. We estimate the total climate R&D investment needs in approximately 1 USD Trillion cumulatively in the period 2010-2030, and 1.6 USD Trillions in...
