Taking into account such poor policies and averaging all macroeconomic models, the EU is more likely to pay around 280 billion per year to avert 10 billion in damage. In other words, the poor design of EU climate policies triples the cost and prevents only three cents of climate damage per dollar spent.

Indeed, after averaging three percentage points for two decades and rising to 4.8 percentage points in 2010, the percentage point differential fell to 2.5 last year and is expected to amount to just 1.5 this year.
