![6. Observed & projected climate-driven increase in dengue. Dengue has surged to its largest global outbreak on record. Climate-driven shifts in temperature have expanded mosquito habitats & lengthened transmission periods, compounding the effects of urbanisation, global connectivity, & inadequate waste management. Health systems are already strained under current outbreaks, but projections point to steeper increases this century.
7. Climate change-related labour productivity & income loss. Heat stress driven by climate change threatens global labour productivity & incomes. While direct losses are greatest in developing countries, the economic impacts will be felt globally, amplified through supply chains & international trade...
8. Safe scale-up of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is needed to tackle hard-to-abate emissions & climate risks. The scale-up of CDR is necessary to complement -not substitute- rapid emissions cuts. The development of strong international guidelines & support for research & innovation is essential to close the 'CDR gap'...
9. Carbon credit markets-integrity challenges & emergent responses. The rapid expansion of carbon credit markets has come w serious integrity challenges due to systematic flaws, w many projects overstating carbon sequestration & lacking additionality. Heavy reliance on low-quality credits risks delaying direct decarbonisation. Recent progress developing stronger benchmarks, transparency, & market standards,[..] viewing credits as contributions rather than substitutes for direct emissions reductions, suggest a path towards more credible & constructive markets.
10. Policy mixes outperform stand-alone measures in advancing emissions reductions. Carefully designed policy mixes, especially those including carbon pricing, tend to deliver greater emissions reductions than individual measures. Policy mixes that include carbon pricing or reduced fossil fuel subsidies are especially effective; however, policy design must be tailored t…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:klj5q7cnbmt4pryeaegonnhi/bafkreifuk5cxwstuzmlxddqa4yopkmbn32xctkj4azsxfef5odczzpnrcu)
