Comments
Any additional remarks or notes about the proposal.
Climate Model Used
The climate model(s) used in deriving the SCC (e.g., DICE, FUND, PAGE).
Currency
The currency in which the SCC value is denominated (e.g., USD, GBP).
Damage Categories Included
A list of damage categories factored into the calculation (e.g., health impacts, agricultural losses, property damages).
Discount Rate
The discount rate(s) used in the calculation of the SCC (e.g., 3%, 2%, 1%).
Economic Model Used
The economic model(s) or framework applied in calculating costs.
Equity Weighting
Whether equity weighting was applied to account for distributional impacts across regions or populations.
Geographic Scope
The geographic region or scope for which the SCC applies (e.g., global, national, state-level).
Inflation Adjustment Year
The base year for inflation adjustment if values are adjusted for inflation.
Methodology
A brief description of the methodology used to calculate the SCC (e.g., integrated assessment model, empirically derived estimate).
Policy Context
The policy application or context for which the SCC was intended (e.g., regulatory impact analysis, carbon tax setting).
Proposal Name

Proposal Year
The year the SCC estimate was proposed or published.
Range High
If applicable, the upper bound of a range provided for the SCC estimate.
Range Low
If applicable, the lower bound of a range provided for the SCC estimate.
Range Average
If the social cost of carbon is stated as a range, then the mathematical average is also provided.
Source Document
The name of the report or publication where the estimate is documented.
Source Organization
The organization or entity responsible for producing the SCC estimate (e.g., EPA, Interagency Working Group, New York DEC).
Time Horizon
