Abstract
The existing climate change mitigation actions and further thrust towards an effective government climate roadmap is without a doubt a fundamental need for any country after the era of the COP21 commitment. The rationality behind the commitment undoubtedly is necessary and it is important to examine what is suitable for a developed and developing nations to realize for a long-run optimal climatic policy. This study critically evaluates two proposals to explore the societal cost to bring down the cliatic degredation by: (i) the COP21 declaration, and (ii) optimality concern for the further decision-making process by utilizing a ‘dynamic integrated model of climate and the economy’. The study findings enhance current knowledge in: (a) setting up a long-term national climate change mitigation policy framework in response to country specific national policy on climate change, (b) filling up the research gap by finding the distribution of impacts on the costs of different climate controlling options, and (c) offering policy makers an attractive alternative to mitigate the climate change thrust with precise knowledge of the overall impacts of the adaptive measures that support sustainable future strategies. Although the ultimate target group considered in this study is principally policy makers, a wide range of research communities and organizations related to climate change studies are expected to benefit due to the nature of the scientific outcomes.
