When rich economies cut emissions, poor ones stand to benefit, study says (Mongabay)

Mongabay reported on the findings of a study on the effects of climate change in Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia, co-authored by Channing Arndt. The article described the study’s key takeaways, namely that if rich countries cut their emissions in half by 2050, reduced demand would lower prices in developing countries and consequently boost their economic growth. However, simultaneous increases to temperature and greenhouse gas emissions mean that Mozambique, Malawi, and Zambia will suffer significant economic damage. The article quoted Arndt, who noted that the study was motivated by a desire to learn how changes in the environment would impact economic outcomes.
