The consequences of unabated climate change for the Asia/Pacific region.  This study was issued by the Asian Development Bank and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, applicable to about two-thirds of the world’s poorest people.  It provides vivid reasons for aggressively pursuing goals that limit temperature growth to less than 2C.  All of the plans for achieving growth and prosperity must take the urgent need for zero emissions into account, or they will ultimately go for nought, including China.
