6. Reduce climate damages and fuel prices to LMICs, saving US$78 billion in reduced climate damages and US$19 billion from lower fuel prices.

7. Improve geopolitical positioning and global security (e.g., reducing fossil fuel revenues to Russia).

4. Lower fuel prices for the EU and China by reducing demand for fossil fuels.

5. Deliver US$33 billion in transfers per year to LMICs in rewards for reducing their emissions, supporting development outcomes that also benefit wealthier nations.

1. Mobilize US$66 billion annually to support climate mitigation in LMICs.

2. Cut emissions by 1060 Mt CO₂ per year (~half the EU’s current emissions from fossil fuels).

3. Reduce the cost of climate damages to the EU and China, by US$35 billion and US$37 billion respectively

Here are some key benefits it would have for the EU and its partners (in this case, in a scneario with China as a partner):
