Total and transboundary co-benefits associated with different climate scenarios (IMAGE)
Caption
Total and transboundary co-benefits associated with different climate scenarios. (a) The total deaths avoided for each of the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) and representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios relative to SSP3-Baseline in 2040 ordered from the most to least equitable scenarios. Colors indicate the receptor region in which the co-benefits occurred (i.e., where the deaths were avoided). Socioeconomic trends and mitigation strategies are included on the y-axis. Error bars refer to the lower and upper bound uncertainty from the health impact assessment for the total co-benefits. (b) The co-benefits specifically attributable to external action for each of the receptor regions (i.e., the transboundary co-benefits). The fraction of co-benefits that are transboundary broken down by (c) socioeconomic development type and (d) mitigation strategy. Data in (a) and (b) are presented as central estimates and lower and upper bounds based on confidence intervals in the health data.
