| ACHIEVING THE MID-CENTURY STRATEGY GOALS |
| A new Nicholas Institute working paper analyzes the cost and geographic distribution of climate-smart agricultural and forestry practices that could address the U.S. Mid-Century Strategy for Deep Decarbonization, which calls for the United States to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050. It also offers policy recommendations to achieve deep greenhouse gas reductions. The working paper is the product of a Duke University Bass Connections project and is authored by students at Duke University's Economics Department, the Nicholas School of the Environment, and the Sanford School of Public Policy. |
