information on the abatement potential, cost and required
investment of over 200 mitigation options with the possibility of
various levels of granularity. The cost curve presents the technical
potential of emissions abatement per specific mitigation option and
the associated cost per tCO2e saved, taking into account the
required up-front investments and associated operating costs of
each option. A national or regional cost curve is developed in a
project with McKinsey with the involvement of a high number of
local stakeholders and experts. Each project includes substantial
awareness raising and capacity building on mitigation. McKinsey’s
Climate Desk is a web-based subscription service for the global
GHG abatement cost curve. Over 100 academics and other
experts have been granted a free license to the tool.
