Short summary

This study introduces AD-MERGE 2.0, an updated model designed to evaluate emission reduction policies alongside immediate and long-term climate adaptation strategies. The new version improves regional detail, energy system representation, and the calibration of climate damages and adaptation. By comparing five policy scenarios, the study shows how mitigation and adaptation interact across regions, highlighting key trade-offs and synergies.
