A new U.S. EPA report, Climate Change in the United States: Benefits of Global Action, estimates the physical and monetary benefits to the U.S. of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. This report summarizes results from the Climate Change Impacts and Risks Analysis (CIRA) project, a peer-reviewed study comparing impacts in a future with significant global action on climate change to a future in which current greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. Promoting the report via social media, U.S. EPA indicated a global effort to keep the average global temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels would prevent thousands of premature deaths and save billions of dollars related to loss and damage across the critical infrastructure sectors.
