The AVOID programme explored the impacts avoided by introducing climate change mitigation policies that move from a pathway leading to a global average warming of 4 °C to one that limits warming to 2 °C by 2100. The benefits of mitigation are clear in most of the sectors studied (e.g. water, river f ...
