It has become both a very large source of greenhouse gases as well as an important site to measure climate change impacts. international input-output models and engineering-economic models are used to assess the baseline emission levels and abatement costs for the economies examined. All outcomes suggest that abatement is possible, but will be expensive. The studies also...
