Figure SPM-6. (WGIII) Estimated economic mitigation potential in 2030 as a function of carbon price

Estimated sectoral economic potential for global mitigation for different regions as a function of carbon price in 2030 from bottom-up studies, compared to the respective baselines assumed in the sector assessments.

(GreenFacts note: The mitigation potential is expressed in Giga tonnes of CO₂ equivalent per year.
1 Giga tonne = 1 000 000 000 tonnes.

The economic mitigation potential for a “carbon price” of up to 20 USD, up to 50 USD and up to 100 USD was considered for each sector

EIT stands for Economies in Transition and refers to countries of the former Soviet bloc which are transitioning to a market economy. OECD stands for the 30 Member countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.)
