Abstract

Our study addresses the limitations of integrated assessment models in simulating climate change, with a specific focus on geoengineering. By assimilating climate projections from 48 CMIP6 models into the PAGE-ICE model, we evaluate the economic implications of various scenarios, including radical solar geoengineering and carbon dioxide removal. Our findings highlight the importance of considering these strategies alongside conventional mitigation and adaptation actions. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and risk managers in formulating effective climate change policies and strategies.
