Climate Desk provides quantitative insights into the effects of climate change policy on different countries, sectors and technologies. It enables fact-based decisions on policy design and investments. It is easy-to-use and provides output in convenient formats. It provides a globally consistent and comparable fact base and can be used as a "common language" for governments when comparing emission reduction opportunities and economics across countries.
Main benefits for governments and institutions linked to policy making, as well as institutions engaged in the international climate negotiations are:
