The social costs of hydrofluorocarbons and the benefits from their expedited phase-down

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 03 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01898-9

Hydrofluorocarbons are a class of important greenhouse gases, and quantitative estimates of their social cost are still lacking. This research develops a set of direct estimates of their economic costs and shows their rapid phase-down could lead to large climate benefits.
