Incentives and stability of international climate coalitions: An integrated assessment

► We analyse climate coalitions with an integrated assessment model. ► Coalitions' profitability and stability is analysed under alternative assumptions. ► Effective coalitions should include larger emitters (such as India and China). ► A coalition that achieves 550 ppm CO2-eq is not internally stable. ► A stable coalition can achieve around 518 ppme in 2050 and 600 ppme in 2100.
