Economic impact of climate change (damage function)

How is the economic impact of climate change (the climate “damage function”) modeled in En-ROADS?
En-ROADS includes an estimate of the economic impact of climate change in the Baseline Scenario that Current Scenarios are built from. This is modeled as a ...

Why does the economic damage from climate change cause the temperature to be lower in En-ROADS?
As of June 2023, En-ROADS includes the economic impact of climate change in the Baseline Scenario. This means the larger the temperature increases, the lowe...
