That's a good question because we talk a lot about adaptation in our report on greenhouse gas reduction efforts. The truth is that one of the best ways to reduce adaptation costs is to invest in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Failing to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions will exacerbate the harmful effects of climate change.
So, yes, if we change the trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada and worldwide, that will help reduce future costs associated with climate change. If the temperature doesn't go as high as expected and we keep it to 1.5°C or 2°C, that will be much less costly than a planet that is 3°C or 4°C hotter than it is now.
