Pathways to a Low Carbon Economy-a new study by McKinsey and Co.-shows that global warming can be kept below the critical 2 degrees C rise and that it is well within our means to do so. The study spells out in detail the costs of cutting damaging carbon emissions, but makes it clear that only by acting now will we avoid the worst impacts of climate change. According to WWF, one of the report's sponsors, world leaders now have all the information they need to shape a global climate deal for both developed and developing countries.
The study - one of the biggest and most detailed of its kind ever compiled - lists more than 200 opportunities, spread across ten sectors and twenty-one geographical regions, which could cut global greenhouse gas emissions by about 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.
