This is a hugely important economic study. It says quite clearly the costs of acting to slow climate change are far, far less than the costs of failing to act.
“Billions of people will lose their livelihoods and economic output reduced by up to 34% if the Earth is allowed to warm by 3 degrees Celsius this century, but investing less than 2% of GDP now could eliminate most of those losses, a groundbreaking new report found”
