Feasibility concerns t is essential to understand the implementation potential for proposed mitigation and adaptation options. Multimodel assessments have shown, for most countries, that there are several unavoidable feasibility concerns, meaning that stated national short- or long-term ambitions could, in fact, be unachievable for example, economic costs, rates and scales of low-carbon technologies and behavioural change https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-024-02166-0 #ClimateChange #GlobalBurning #Climate
