Achieving the Paris Agreement's near-term goals (nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) and long-term temperature targets could result in pre-mature retirement, or stranding, of carbon-intensive assets before the end of their useful lifetime. We use an integrated assessment model to quantify the implications of the Paris Agreement for stranded assets in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a developing region with the least carbon-intensive power sector in the world. We find that meeting the Paris goals results in stranding of $37–90 billion and investment of $1.9–2.6 trillion worth of power sector capital (2021–2050) across a range of future scenarios. Strengthening the NDCs could reduce stranding costs by 27%–40%. Additionally, while politically shielding power plants from pre-mature retirement or increasing the role of other sectors (eg land-use) could also reduce power sector stranding, such actions …
