Economics of climate change mitigation
![](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Extreme_weather_in_the_US_1980-2011.png?width=300)
This article is about the economics of climate change mitigation. Mitigation of climate change involves actions that are designed to limit the amount of long-term climate change (Fisher et al.., 2007:225). Mitigation may be achieved through the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or through the enhancement of sinks that absorb GHGs, for example forests.
