New Climate Economics: Methodological Choices and Recommendations

This document outlines critical methodological choices and assumptions in the empirical research and modeling used to evaluate the socio-economic impacts, costs, and benefits of climate mitigation and adaptation policies.

• The selection of methodological approaches and underlying assumptions in climate policy modeling has significant implications for resulting projections and the subsequent choice of policies for implementation.
• The document identifies critical issues for the economic analysis of climate policies, offers various options for addressing these issues, and suggests preferred actions aligned with what is described as "new economic thinking".
