38 trillion dollars in damages each year: World economy already committed to income reduction of 19 % due to climate change

Science Daily Wednesday, 17 April 2024 ()

Based on empirical data from more than 1,600 regions worldwide over the past 40 years, scientists assessed future impacts of changing climatic conditions on economic growth and their persistence.
